When Sins Rise Up (announcements for September 5)

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately, our order of Psalter-Hymnals has been quite delayed. There is no word yet on when copies from the next printing will be ready to ship. In the meantime, some of you have mentioned that you are enjoying the app for your iPhone or iPad.

Personally, I have been using the Psalter in my own morning worship. Today, I sang through Psalm 65A, which includes these lines:

When sins rise up against us, accusing every day

you pardon our transgressions and wash our sins away.

This is the good news of the Gospel! Since our sin is with us every day, and Satan is always using it to accuse us, God’s promise of forgiveness through Christ should on our minds and hearts every day too.

Sincerely,

Pastor Goligher
