Serenity Prayer by REINHOLD NIEBUHR

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things - I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; and Wisdom to know the difference. Strength to live one day at a time; enjoy one moment at a time; and accept hardship as the pathway to peace.  Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender my will to Him and that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen. - REINHOLD NIEBUHR

Love | Orderly Worship | (2/9/25)

  Love | Orderly Worship By:   R. Nicholas Sybrowsky Opening Word & Main Text 1 Corinthians 13  [NIV]  "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind.

But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is k...
