LWML On The Go

Ep 124: We Begin Anew — Bible Study

The Word tells us of the Lord’s miraculous gifts. He has touched you in so many ways and sent you to go back into life well. What is your response to all Jesus does?  

As you live in this New Year, how are you approaching it?

What is it that Jesus has done to make you well and to change your future?

Your year will be much better and much more productive and more meaningful if and when you thank Jesus and hear Him say to you, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well”(Luke 17:19).

The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God (Isaiah 35:1-2).

Ep 120: God‘s Perfect Gift — Devotion

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8). 

At this time of the year, our minds can focus on the brightly colored packages with shiny bows tucked neatly underneath the Christmas tree. We wonder, “What is in those packages that we see?” There is one gift that fits all sizes, all ages, all nationalities, all races. It is a gift we can all share. Once you have discovered this gift, you will not want to return it. That is why it is the perfect gift for everyone.

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them (Luke 2:20).

Ep 118: The Heavenly Banquet — Devotion

“Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb” (Revelation 19:9a)!

An invitation to a banquet is an exciting prospect and we anticipate it with much expectation. We begin thinking of the clothes we will wear; the delicious food we will have put before us; and the special guests we will see and hear.

The Heavenly Banquet is a devotion on Christian living, comfort, and hope, by Ladell McWhirter, originally published by LWML.

Ep 117: You Look Like Your Father — Devotion

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10).

A family resemblance can be comforting. It provides visual confirmation that we belong; we are part of the group. As Christians we are made in God’s image.

Can people see the love of Christ through you? Be a Lutheran Woman in Mission, sharing God’s love and compassion with a hurting and needy world.

Ep 116: Bound Up — Devotion

When we as adults experience things that hurt us, instead of reaching for the box of plastic strips, we tend to wrap ourselves in our own type of bandage … When life gets this way, we may tend to close in and isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. Thus, we wrap ourselves in our own problems and tie ourselves up in knots. We may feel just like Lazarus. Wrapped in our own emotions and struggles, we feel like we are wrapped in grave clothes, that we lie behind a large rock of a tomb from which we cannot escape on our own.

Bound Up is a devotion on stress, compassion, comfort, and hope, by Linda Guteres, originally published by LWML.

Ep 115: Be Faithful — Devotion

“Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life” (Revelation 2:10b).

These are among the most familiar words in the Bible, written by John to the Christians of the church at Smyrna to encourage them through their “ten days” of tribulation. We hear these words of comfort and encouragement at funerals, at sick bed visits, at confirmations, and at times when life is a struggle. They are, however, words that definitely fall under the category of “easier said than done.”

Be Faithful is a devotion on Christian living, by Nancy Kohrs, originally published by LWML.
