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.

Psalm 69- Jesus Suffered Projected Guilt
This meditation for Passion Sunday discusses our sin of projecting guilt on others, that is, blaming others for our own sin, assuming others will do to us what we'd like to do to them. However, all our guilt has been projected on to Jesus so that He has suffered to remove our guilt, so that we may have peace with God and make peace with people. The Palm Sunday hymn, "Ride On, Ride On in Majesty" with its climatic line "Ride on to Die" and the reading from Matthew 21 accompany this meditation.
