Matthew 18 : 12-18

   
12 How think ye?
if a man have an hundred sheep,
and one of them be gone astray,
doth he not leave the ninety and nine,
and goeth into the mountains,
and seeketh that which is gone astray?
13 And if so be that he find it,
verily I say unto you,
he rejoiceth more of that sheep,
than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven,
that one of these little ones should perish.
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee,
go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone:
if he shall hear thee,
thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee,
then take with thee one or two more,
that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them,
tell it unto the church:
but if he neglect to hear the church,
let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
18 Verily I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:
and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you that we may be your children
and that we may hope in your Spirit.
Your Spirit rules us as people whom you want to draw to yourself,
as people who may serve you in their lives here on earth.
Grant that we may be childlike,
so that your Spirit can rule us more and more and what is good
may come to many people in all places.
May many come to know that their lives are not merely temporal.
May they realize that they can live and act in you,
and through you may experience the good
that is to come to all nations on earth.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
