Notes for Parents:
Deuteronomy 32:44-52
Sin has consequences. Even though we may be freely justified by the grace of God and be able to enter into the heavenly kingdom for every, there are still earthly consequences for our sins. A long history of drug abuse will impact your body and your mind. Sexual immorality can result in sexual disease or harm to future relationships. Crime results in criminal punishment.
Moses had been faithful in leading God’s people but he still disobeyed God and was therefore kept from entering into the promised land. His sin had earthly consequences. And if Moses, the man who led the people our of Egypt, would face earthly consequences of his sin, then who are we to dismiss this possibility for ourselves.
We ought to then learn that the best way to live is in obedience to God’s commands.
Matthew 26:69-75
This is a heartbreaking passage. The Apostle Peter, who once swore he would never leave Christ’s side, finds himself in a downward slide. At first, Peter plays coy when asked about Jesus. He plays dumb, “I don’t know what you are talking about.” He is ignorant of his sin. But then, when asked again about Christ, he not only denies Christ but does it with an oath. In the Bible, an oath is a solemn promise or declaration made under God's authority or with God as the witness. It is a sacred commitment that is meant to be binding and trustworthy. Oaths are mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments, and they were taken very seriously by the people of that time. Peter, in making an oath that he doesn’t know Christ, has now not only denied Christ but also invoked God as a witness to it. He is taking the name of God in vain. And then, to top it off, it does not end there. Peter is called out again, and the third time Peter denies Christ with curses and swearing. In this, he is basically calling upon God to curse him if he is lying about knowing Christ.
This is the path of sin and the fear of man. It takes you where you do not want to go. It results in Peter forcefully denying Christ and invoking God and His curse to do so. What a sorry state to be in.
But thankfully, this passage offers a place of hope. Immediately, the rooster crows, and the passage says Peter remembered the word of Christ. Sin is wicked and terrible. But even worse would be to sin and not be convicted. Christians will sin in this life. We do not want to. Scripture commands us not to. The Apostle John told us that he wrote his letter so we would not sin. And yet, because we still have a sinful flesh to fight, we will sin. And when we do, we can take comfort if God’s word convicts us. If, when we sin, we remember the words of God and are stricken with godly grief like Peter, we still have hope. Not all is lost. Peter is convicted, and he goes off weeping at what he had done.
Peter belonged to Christ even as he denied Him. The proof is that Christ’s words convicted his heart. Peter mourned. Jesus said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” After the resurrection, Jesus came to Peter and gave him the opportunity to repent.
Brothers and sisters, do not sin. But when you sin and are convicted of it, take joy and cling to Jesus. Return to Him. He is faithful and just to forgive you.
Lamentations 4
Lamentations 4 is a lament about the destruction of Jerusalem and the suffering of its people. The chapter describes the once-great city in ruins and its people starving and desperate for food. The author compares the people's past prosperity to their present misery, and blames their downfall on their sins and disobedience to God. The chapter ends with a plea for God to restore the people and their city, and a warning to other nations to not rejoice in their downfall.
This is a difficult book to read. It can be disheartening to hear all of the lament from the prophet regarding God’s discipline of his people. It is difficult because discipline is difficult. But this book is a wonderful piece of scripture because it gives us hope. There are glimmers of light all throughout it even as the prophet sits in dust and ashes. This chapter ends by noting that God’s discipline of his people has an end but their enemies better not gloat. Their day is coming.
God’s people in this life may face suffering and persecution while God’s enemies appear to live it up in luxury and pleasure. But one day they will face judgement and God’s people will never suffer again.
Psalm 63
What motivates you? What really gets you going? What are you aiming for?
The psalm writer says that he earnestly seeks after God. Earnestness is being sincere, serious, and intense in purpose or effort. The psalm writer thirsts after God. He must have a closeness to God, or else. This is what we were created for. We were created to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Is that your desire? Do you wake up in the morning hoping to draw nearer to God that day? Do you lay in bed meditating on God’s word and commands? Do you live each day with the desire to know God more, to glorify Him more than you did yesterday, to enjoy Him?
Let this Psalm convict you. Stop chasing after things that cannot satisfy. Nothing else can bring you true joy than the presence of God. And then make this psalm your prayer.
Catechism/ Memory Verse
Hebrews 4:12 says “For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
God’s word is able to get to the heart of the matter. In the law of God, God is not just after our outward conformity to specific rules. No, God desires obedience to go all the way down into our very being. In fact, it is only when our outward conformity to God’s law swells up out of the inward conformity of our heart that God is pleased.
In other words, we are to love God with all our hearts, minds, souls, and might. It isn’t enough just not to physically kill someone. If we have unjust anger in our hearts toward them, then we are breaking God’s command. It is not enough just to refrain from physically taking something from our neighbor. We must not desire to do so.
The 10th commandment then is a fitting conclusion to the ten commandments in that it forbids the hearts desires that are contrary to God’s good will. It forbids us from greed, envy, hatred, petty jealousies, and discontentment. This is the commandment that we most often break and its breaking is always a precursor to breaking the other commandments.
When we covet our neighbor’s things, we are in our hearts criticizing God. We are complaining against God’s providential care in our own lives. We are saying that God has not cared for us as we ought but has been unjust in giving to our neighbor. We are breaking not only the 10th commandment but the 1st commandment. We are not honoring and worshiping God as we ought.
The tenth commandment is one that you need to work on often with your children. All the fights they have between brothers and sisters is because they are not keeping this commandment. The opposite of covetousness is contentment. It is being satisfied with God’s provision in your life.
This does not mean that you will not work hard and strive to do better in your job or wages. But it means you will trust God as you do so. You will keep your heart focused on loving him.
In order to teach your children how to obey this command you need to both speak about it but also model it. Are you constantly criticizing the successes of others? Do your children hear you and your wife tearing down others or projecting your envy? Do they see you trusting the Lord’s provision even when it is tight? Do they see you constantly shopping, constantly buying, constantly getting and getting? Do they see you unsettled constantly changing jobs, switching churches, moving, and bristling under the sovereign hand of God?
Of course this does not mean that you may never switch a job, look out for a better home, and etc but be mindful that all of these things are impacting your family. Be mindful that none of these things are because of a covetous ungrateful heart.

We entrust all of this into your good hand and we pray this in the name of Jesus Christ the Sovereign King. Amen.
Church History Spotlight
Patrick of Ireland 461AD
Patrick was born about 390, in southwest Britain, somewhere between the Severn and the Clyde rivers, son of a deacon and grandson of a priest. When about sixteen years old, he was kidnapped by Irish pirates and sold into slavery in Ireland. Until this time, he had, by his own account, cared nothing for God, but now he turned to God for help. After six years, he either escaped or was freed, made his way to a port 200 miles away, and there persuaded some sailors to take him onto their ship. He returned to his family much changed, and began to prepare for the priesthood, and to study the Bible.
Around 435, Patrick was commissioned, perhaps by bishops in Gaul and perhaps by the Pope, to go to Ireland as a bishop and missionary. Four years earlier another bishop, Palladius, had gone to Ireland to preach, but he was no longer there.
Patrick made his headquarters at Armagh in the North, where he built a school, and had the protection of the local monarch. From this base he made extensive missionary journeys, with considerable success. To say that he single-handedly turned Ireland from a pagan to a Christian country is an exaggeration, but is not far from the truth.
Almost everything we know about him comes from his own writings, available in English in the Ancient Christian Writers series. He has left us an autobiography (called the Confession), a Letter to Coroticus in which he denounces the slave trade and rebukes the British chieftain Coroticus for taking part in it, and the Lorica (or "Breastplate" a poem of disputed authorship traditionally attributed to Patrick), a work that has been called "part prayer, part anthem, and part incantation."
I arise today Through God's strength to pilot me: God's might to uphold me, God's wisdom to guide me, God's eye to look before me, God's ear to hear me, God's word to speak to me, God's hand to guard me, God's way to lie before me, God's shield to protect me, God's host to save me,
From snares of devils, From temptation of vices, From every one who shall wish me ill, Afar and anear, Alone and in a multitude.
I summon today all these powers between me and those evils,
Against every cruel merciless power that may oppose my body
and soul, Against incantations of false prophets, Against black laws of pagandom, Against false laws of heretics, Against craft of idolatry, Against spells of women and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.
Christ to shield me today
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every one who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye of every one who sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
From the Breastplate of St. Patrick, a prayer of St. Patrick.
