And they will not leave one\n             stone upon another in you, because you did not\n             know the time of your visitation.''  (ESV)\n\n        This week we have heard Jesus' prophecy about the\n   destruction of Jerusalem which happened about forty years after\n   His death and resurrection.\n        And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over\n        it, saying, ``Would that you, even you, had known on\n        this day the things that make for peace! But now they\n        are hidden from your eyes.  For the days will come upon\n        you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around\n        you and surround you and hem you in on every side and\n        tear you down to the ground, you and your children\n        within you. And they will not leave one stone upon\n        another in you, because you did not know the time of\n        your visitation.''\n\n\n        Because of this warning, the Church prays:\n        O God, You declare Your almighty power above all in\n        showing mercy and pity.  Mercifully grant us such a\n        measure of Your grace that we may obtain Your gracious\n        promises and be made partakers of Your heavenly\n        treasures.\n\n\n        We have seen that the city was destroyed because they did\n   not know the time of Jesus' visitation.  By rejecting God's mercy\n   they sealed their own fate.\n\n        The time is now.  Today may be the last time that you hear\n   of God's mercy and pity.  How will you respond?  Will you put off\n   learning more about God's grace?  Will you realize that this may\n   be the last opportunity you have to hear of His love?\n\n        Please join us at Trinity Lutheran Church each Sunday\n   morning at 9:00 a.m.  as we come to a better understanding of\n   God's mercy.\n\n        May our Lord grant that we know the time of His visitation\n   for our salvation.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 14, 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-5153","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\/5153","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=5153"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5154,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5153\/revisions\/5154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
