THE APOSTLES CREED I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic* church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. (*that is, the true Christian church of all times and all places)

But how can David call the Messiah whom we know must be David s offspring, Lord. ?
Acts 2 32God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it.33Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.34For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand 35until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet. 36 Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.
Mark 12 38As he taught, Jesus said, Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces,39and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 40They devour widows houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.
Mark 12 41Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts.42But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.

Mark 12 43Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything all she had to live on.
2 Corinthians 8 And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches.2In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.3For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own,4they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord s people.
Some questions I ask myself: Am I trusting in my bank account more than God? My retirement? My paycheck? My Social Security more than the God who sees? Does my love ever reach to expressions of extravagance? If not, why? Practically speaking, do I think that giving 5% or 10% or 15% of my income, let alone of my wealth, is a representative expression of my love for God?
Philippians 4 19And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. 20To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
