Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pretense - Part 4\n Luke 14:5-6\n 10\/01\/2026\n\n\n 5 And he said to them, ``Which of you, having a son\n or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath\n day, will not immediately pull him out?''\n 6 And they could not reply to these things. (ESV)\n\n Original sin, that sin which is passed from Adam to all his\n descendants, is the desire to be like God, to replace God.\n Therefore, all temptation to sin is the temptation to believe\n that God's law does not apply to us due to our exalted nature.\n Our prayer pleads through God's grace that we may be kept free\n from pretense and arrogance.\n Lord, we implore You, grant Your people grace to\n withstand the temptations of the devil and with pure\n hearts and minds to follow You, the only God.\n\n\n Jesus had healed a man on the Sabbath, the day of rest upon\n which no person could work. The Pharisee and lawyers who\n witnessed the miracle were shocked that Jesus would be so bold to\n act in this way on the Sabbath.\n\n And [Jesus] said to them, ``Which of you, having a son\n or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day,\n will not immediately pull him out?'' And they could\n not reply to these things.\n\n\n Although the men present at the Sabbath day banquet were\n shocked at Jesus' actions, none of them would allow even a beast\n of burden, much less their own son, to remain in a well if an\n accident happened on the Sabbath. They would go to the aid of\n the one who had fallen. They would do the very act of mercy for\n which they condemned Jesus.\n\n May our Lord guard us from hypocrisy, that we may serve Him\n by serving our neighbor. Amen.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"October 1, 2026 Broadcast Pretense – Part 4 Luke 14:5-6 10\/01\/2026 5 And he said to them, “Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into … Continue reading “Pretense – Part 4”<\/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-5297","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\/5297","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=5297"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5297\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5298,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5297\/revisions\/5298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
