(ESV)\n\n        We pray:\n        Almighty and everlasting God, always more ready to hear\n        than we to pray and to give more than we either desire\n        or deserve, pour down upon us the abundance of Your\n        mercy, forgiving those things of which our conscience\n        is afraid and giving us those good things that we are\n        not worthy to ask, except through the merits and\n        mediation of Christ, our Lord.\n\n\n        God, in His infinite grace and mercy, has given His Son to\n   die to pay the price of our sins.  He promises that we will find\n   forgiveness as we gather together to hear His Word and to partake\n   of the Sacraments.  He invites the humble, the poor, the sinners\n   to come into His presence to give them the hope which comes from\n   the promise of life everlasting.\n\n        [Jesus] also told this parable to some who trusted in\n        themselves that they were righteous, and treated others\n        with contempt: Two men went up into the temple to pray,\n        one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.\n\n\n        There are people you expect to see in church.  They\n   frequently quote the Bible, pray in public, and are very careful\n   to keep both the Ten Commandments and the laws of society.\n   Others you wonder about.  The man with the drinking problem, the\n   young lady who has a reputation for being less than faithful in\n   her relationships, the student who is always in trouble as\n   school.  These also are welcome.\n\n        The church is not for self-avowed saints, but for sinners in\n   need of redemption.  The church is not for the person who is\n   perfect, but for the person who feels the weight of sin.\n\n        May our Lord grant that we sinners heed His call to come\n   into His presence to receive His good gifts and blessings.  Amen.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 18, 2026 Broadcast Forgiven &#8211; Part 2 Luke 18:9-10 08\/18\/2026 9 [Jesus] also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/2026\/08\/25\/forgiven-part-2\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Forgiven &#8211; Part 2&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/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-5193","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\/5193","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=5193"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5193\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5194,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5193\/revisions\/5194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
