Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Thus said the apostle Paul in the Epistle we heard today. Words of admonition, of encouragement, I need. I wish forgiveness meant not just that my sins were wiped out before God, but that they are wiped out from my own memory as well. But maybe it's good they're not.
