Send us Fan MailWords for the WearyTheology ThursdaysRevelation 13:5-10The beast was given a mouth to utter boasts and blasphemies. It was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. It began to speak blasphemies against God: to blaspheme his name and his dwelling—those who dwell in heaven. And it was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them. It was also given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation. All those who live on the earth will worship it, everyone whose name was not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered.If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen.If anyone is to be taken captive,into captivity he goes.If anyone is to be killed with a sword,with a sword he will be killed.This calls for endurance and faithfulness from the saints.The Prayer for the 14th Sunday after TrinityAlmighty and everlasting God, give unto us the increase of faith, hope, and charity; and, that we may obtain that which thou dost promise, make us to love that which thou dost command; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
