And at the same time we want to recognize that there is something that doesn't come from your hand. It doesn't have a perfecting work. You never bring it to us and that is sin. You never tempt us, as we have just read. You never lead us into sin.
Sin has no positive purpose in our life, and yet it's a constant presence.
We ask that you would forgive us our sins. Thank you for being the source of all good. We praise you that all is ours in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Well, I need to say just a word about my wife and daughter this morning. I am sure almost all of you, if not all of you have heard, that they had a car accident on Tuesday.
