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.

People of God, Living with the Promise as SETTLERS
This 2nd of a series of 3 meditations reflects on God's people in different surroundings, the present one as settlers in the land of Canaan. They were tempted by their surrounding culture as we are today, and each generation had to learn anew to trust God's promises, usually through suffering. Portions of the evening service of Compline are included as also hymns of consolation, "Why Should Cross and Trial Grieve Me?", and "What God Ordains is Always Good."
