Do Not Be Deceived
By
Rev. David Ramirez

I have decided to share with you an excellent article from the January issue of the Lutheran Witness “We Should Fear and Love God so that we lead a Chaste & Decent Life.” The entire issues is on a proper and loving view of human sexuality. I pray you find this helpful as I know not all of you subscribe to the Lutheran Witness.
I always try to point out, especially in confirmation class, that the commandments guard particular gifts God gives us. For example, God gives us His name. The Second Commandment guards this gift by teaching us how to use it properly instead of misusing it. We call upon the Lord’s name in every trouble, pray, praise and give thanks.
The Sixth Commandment guards the gift of marriage and purity. In the Large Catechism, Luther said:
This commandment is aimed directly at the state of marriage. … First, understand and mark well how gloriously God honors and praises this estate. … He has approved it above in the Fourth Commandment, “Honor your father and your mother.” But here He has (as we said) hedged it about and protected it. (LC I 206)
I also often tell confirmation students that one of the devil’s most effective deceptions is to misdirect a good desire to twist and pervert what God has instituted. This is to say, the devil wishes us to be sexually promiscuous. The root meaning of “promiscuous” is to be indiscriminate. As children of God, trusting in His fatherly wisdom and love, we are to discriminate concerning when and with whom physical intimacy is appropriate. The Lord teaches us that a man and a woman are to become one only within marriage. It is good for a man to desire his wife but wicked for him to desire someone else’s. It accords with God’s creation for a young, unmarried woman to desire a husband but sinful for her to act as if she were already married to a particular man.
Winking at sin
Fornication, sexual intercourse between persons not married to each other, is strictly forbidden by the Scriptures. St. Paul sternly warned the Corinthians, “Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Cor. 6:9–10). While Christians often readily condemn homosexual behavior and other extreme deviancies, many “Bible-believing” Christians wink at premarital intimacy, living together before marriage, adultery and other forms of fornication.
While there are many reasons why this takes place, I would focus on two in particular. First, many parents and other authorities are indulgent. They often mistake indulgence for love, yet indulgence reflects a lack of love. Solomon said, “Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him” (Prov. 13:24). Secondly, some parents believe they cannot chastise their children for behavior in which they also engaged. However, the parents’ duty to judge according to the Word of God and warn those in their care is not based upon their own moral perfection. Christ commanded us to “judge with right judgment” (John 7:24). Even if parents have sinfully fornicated, they still have the authority and responsibility to tell their children, “Don’t do it!”
Right discrimination
Just as lies beget lies, toleration
of deviancy leads to further deviancy. Christians should not wonder how our culture arrived at the inability to recognize the absurdity of gay “marriage” and transgenderism. We arrived by way of no-fault divorce, toleration of engaged couples “playing house” and glorification of hook-up culture. The culture that surrounds us celebrates promiscuity — indiscriminate physical intimacy. As a people, we no longer know how to properly discriminate.
With the devil, the world and our sinful flesh conspiring against us, we can only turn to God’s Word. It shows us how to discriminate rightly, how to distinguish between truth and error. The sword of the Spirit, sharper than any two-edged blade, is “living and active … piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart” (Heb. 4:12).
The law of God cuts us to the heart. We have all failed to keep our thoughts, words and deeds pure. Lust, envy, covetousness and every sort of impurity come from our fallen hearts. Commenting on 1 Corinthians 6 in his Popular Commentary, P.E. Kretzmann wrote, “[St. Paul’s] readers were not to make the mistake that the liberty of the Gospel was equivalent to libertinism and license; free grace does not imply the right to sin.”
Fallen heroes
We are to be especially alert to the danger of promiscuity since some of the greatest heroes of the Scriptures fell into great shame and vice through their lust. The fall of David and Bathsheba is probably the best-known illustration. Another instructive example is the fall of Samson (Judges 16). Even before he became involved with Delilah, Samson demonstrated his slavery to sin and his idolatrous rejection of God’s Word by visiting a prostitute in Gaza. Samson viewed his great power and strength as things to be exploited to fulfill his lust and self-glorification. Samson’s pride and presumption led him to foolishness and ruin. He arrogantly believed he could play with fire, and so Delilah ensnared him for the Philistines.
Fortunately, that was not the end of Samson’s story. Even though the Lord delivered him into the hands of his enemies, the Lord worked good through Samson’s humiliation and suffering. The Lord brought him to repentance. And in his death, Samson gained a greater victory than any he won during his life (Judges 16:30).
Greater than Samson
Samson’s sacrificial death points us to an infinitely more precious victory. Like Samson, Christ died for the sake of His people with outstretched arms. Unlike Samson, Jesus had no sin, for He is the spotless Lamb of God. Upon the cross Jesus atoned for the sin of the world — including all of our sins against the Sixth Commandment.
As the Small Catechism teaches, we are to lead a chaste and decent life in what we say and do. We are to be discriminating, not promiscuous; we are to be faithful to whom God has called us to love and honor. St. Paul’s words for the church in Corinth should likewise spur us on in our lives of holiness, both warning us against sin and pointing to what makes us pure — Jesus’ holy, precious blood and His innocent suffering and death:
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. (1 Cor. 6:18–20)

Voters Meeting Minutes.
January 31, 2021
Chairman Bob Knuth called the January Voter’s Meeting to order at 12 noon on the 31st .
Pastor Fisher opens with devotion, the noon prayer {296} an the hymn “SONGS OF THANKFULNESS AND PRAISE” {394} followed by today’s Gospel Lesson.
ROLL CALL: In attendance today is 25 members. Three people sign The Constitution, they are Patrick Schiefelbein, Elsie and Kurt Meyle, Sr.
MINUTES from the October 25, 2020 meeting written by Nancy Rosenthal were printed in the Herald. An amendment is added that Ron Kabitzke got the information for the Endowment Fund and the Concordia Reports. All accepted.
REPORTS
Elders report presented by Tanner Schmidt. A big thankyou to Gary Erdmann for his many years of service as an Elder.
Patrick Schiefelbein as the new Elder. Church Slowly returning to normal practices after having a lot of cancellations due to Covid-19. Office members, thank you for you devoted services thru the covid 19 ands lets pray for all people. THEWORD OF THE LORD WILL DWELL FOREVER. The hymnals will soon be replaced in the pews. Lenten meals will not be served the year due to covid.
TRUSTEE REPORT: The trustees have been making every attempt to keep expenses to necessities needed to keep things in maintenance.
The updating of lights to LED continues as they fail– a little challenging due to supply availability. So far we have been able to purchase as needed, but spares not always available.
The Fisher parsonage needed a toilet replaced due to a leak. A light and heat register were also changed.
A window replaced at the Raffa parsonage due to a mold issue.
A bell/entrance alarm was added to the outside door near the office, so the secretary and Pastors know when someone enters while being able to keep the office door closed for heating concerns. Supplies were also moved out of the office to allow for better air flow from registers. The table will be replaced with a cart and only used for temporary storage and transport of food pantry donations.
A new entry code lock was purchased for the “library/safe room and will be installed as soon as an acceptable and secure code is established.
The storage room near the main church entrance has developed a fairly substantial leak on the days of major warm up/melting. This is being temporarily addressed with large barrels, a floor fan, and a dehumidifier until spring. Some snow was also removed with a roof rake to encourage belter drainage when melting and decrease water volume. If any adult enjoys playing in the snow, this removal is needed again. Come spring time, temporary repairs will be made and this roof section will need to be addressed along with the main church roof replacement.
The roofing fund has received some donations through memorials and small fund raising efforts of church organizations. We still have a long way to go, but bids will be obtained this spring and fundraising efforts ramped up this coming year. We may not have a choice but to move forward with a roof before next winter.
Trustees have also been discussing other issues and concerns brought forth by church members. These will not be brought to the voters yet at this time. Please do know we do take these concerns seriously but must handle them through proper procedure.
Respectfully submitted,
Rob Selzler

To Return the District to pre-1997 organization:
Whereas: The South Wisconsin District in its 48th conven- tion adopted the practice of having four geo graphical regions, for the elections of Vice- Presidents and District’s Board of Directors; and
Whereas: This has confused the nomination process for pastors and laity; and
Whereas: The District was able to function well prior to 1997 with no regions and two vice-Presidents; and
Whereas: Regions has limited the ability of many willing to serve, an opportunity to serve and offer their skills and abilities to the District, solely because of their regional location; therefore be it
Resolved: That the South Wisconsin District in convention
return to District-wide representation for vice- Presidents and District Boards, and it further
Resolved: That changes be made to the District Bylaws to reflect this return, with these changes taking ef- fect immediately at the start of the 2021 District convention in Bylaws:

Communal Prayers
Prayer for the Christian Church and against her enemies:
Almighty, everlasting merciful God and Father of our dear Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ: we see and sense the condition of Your Church in this life, what sort of fortune she has, and the various ways she is afflicted by the devil and the world. We therefore beseech You for the sake of the same, Your only-begotten Son, firstly, to comfort and strengthen our hearts with your Holy Spirit, that e may not be defeated or cast down by many great dangers; and secondly, that Your would not only hinder the counsels and endeavors of the enemy, but with Your faithful and wonderful help also show, declare, and demonstrate to the world that You nurture, govern, protect, preserve, and deliver Your Church; for You live and reign with the Son and the Holy Spirit, on eternal God, forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer for temporal authorities: Almighty, everlasting God, King of kings, from whom all rank and power proceed, who instituted temporal authority and committed to it the sword for the punishment of the wicked and the protection of the good: lead all temporal lords and rulers in Your way, that they may keep the common peace, turn away from us war and sedition, and nurture whatever makes for peace, honor, and justice. To that end, O Lord of hosts, give them Your divine blessing, the righteousness of Moses, the meekness of David, the zeal of Phinehas, the strength of Samson, and the wisdom of Solomon. Make and keep them steadfast in good, courageous in adversity, confident in affliction, joyful in sorrow, reliable in distress, victorious in temptation, unmoved in prosperity, and wise, strong, and prosperous in all their endeavors. Let their government serve for the suppression of all tyrants, peace in this present time, and the protection of Christians, to the praise and eternal worship of Your holy name; through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Thanksgiving for all the benefits received since the mother’s womb: Lord, before I was or lived or moved or could do anything, Your were over me in my mother’s womb graciously defending me as Your own creation, tenderly caring for me, and in wonderful manner sustaining me. Much more do You do this to me, O faithful Keeper of men, now that I am a “man born into this world,” living, going, staying, acting, and knowing Your through Your Word, even though my old Adam, which hangs about my neck until the grave, feels the opposite. But however it may seem of feel, I pay no heed to it, nor am I misled by it, but hold to Your declaration that You are my Lord from my mother’s womb. This will not deceive or fail. I confide in this, and by it I stir up and strengthen my faith, which does not regard what is seen (which is contrary to it) but by hope and patience awaits what is unseen. May You be ever blessed, my Lord and my God. Amen.
Family and friends requesting our prayers: Carl & Lois Pritzlaff, Traci Chapman, Amy & Mark Johnson, Brenda Faber, Nancy Rosenthal, Jim Shapley, Jane Depta, Jim Lathrop, Sue Vandlik Fox, Bruce Biendarra, Richard & Chloe Fisher, Ruth Mertz, Dot Miller, Joyce Virchow, Jerry & Gert Sullivan, Carolyn Bren, Donna Sommer, Kandie Darmody, June Fry, Orville Heckendorf, David & Olivemae Olson, Judy Clark, Jennifer Jensen, Eric Johanen, Diane Behrens, Marge Legate, Suzanne Stadelmayer, Elaine Kuenzel, Ray & Frances Neerhoff, Karen Haufmann, Donald Teske, Connie Hackbarth, Sheryl Pajewski, Jeanette Guillaume, Inez Schwoch, Glenn Schnabel, Jenny Vickerman, Linda Lukas, Linda Borneman, Nancy Nicholas, Scott Biskobing, Rachel Davis, Marissa Flanders, Linda Schmidt, Vanessa Kuehne, Travis Winkler, Brian Vonlender, Scot Meisenheimer, Thomas Kramlik, and Jody Meisenheimer.
