Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Speck and the Log - Part 2\n Luke 6:37-38\n 06\/30\/2026\n\n\n 37 Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn\n not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and\n you will be forgiven;\n 38 give, and it will be given to you. Good measure,\n pressed down, shaken together, running over, will\n be put into your lap. For with the measure you use\n it will be measured back to you. (ESV)\n\n The world, our nation, our lives are in turmoil. This week\n we pray:\n O Lord, grant that the course of this world may be so\n peaceably ordered by Your governance that Your Church\n may joyfully serve You in all godly quietness.\n\n\n How are we to reflect the Father's mercy as we interact\n daily with those who are less than merciful? First, we cannot\n show mercy unless we have received mercy. Only as the Holy\n Spirit, working through the Word and sacraments, calls us to\n faith in God can we receive and reflect His mercy. Otherwise,\n even our kind gestures have sinful motives.\n\n In our arrogance, in our pride, we apply a standard of\n behavior to others which we, ourselves, do not apply to\n ourselves. Jesus said:\n Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and\n you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be\n forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good\n measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over,\n will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use\n it will be measured back to you.\n\n\n We are to judge between right and wrong. We are to help our\n neighbor overcome those problems which cause him harm, which\n place him in danger. But we do so, not as a superior, but as we\n first repent and acknowledge our own sins. We do so in hope that\n our neighbor may prosper and grow.\n\n May our Lord grant us faith to repent of our sin as we help\n our neighbor overcome his sin. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"June 30, 2026 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4994"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4995,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4994\/revisions\/4995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
