Martin Luther's Evening Prayer
"An Unchanging Faith for Changing Lives" describes the message of God for us in the turmoil of the 21st Century. This faith is taught at St. John's Lutheran Church of Taylor, Michigan, and other congregations of the Lutheran church-Missouri Synod. Rev. Dr. Richard Zeile, Pastor at St. John's, applies the Word of God to our everyday experiences. God's LAW always accuses, but God's GOSPEL shows where grace can be found, through Jesus Christ who died for our sin, but rose that we may have eternal life.
Martin Luther's Evening Prayer
Psalm 116 "Precious...is the Death of His Saints"
After the Confession rite and prior to the Communion rite, Dr. Zeile speaks on the Divine perspective regarding the believer's death. From the human perspective death, especially at the hands of God's enemies, appears to be a painful defeat; but in God's eyes, it is the ultimate victory and for the faithful soul it becomes the gate to eternal life and the victory of the saints.
