MOST PREP SAT CLASS
Faith Lutheran is proud to announce a new SAT preparation partnership with the founder and president of MostPrep, Mike Obstgarten. He will be running 6-week prep courses at 6:45 to 9:15pm in room 216 for juniors and seniors specifically for the SAT starting this summer for $600. Students interested in prepping for the ACT should still take this course as the exams are now similar enough that specific ACT courses are not necessary. This full-length course provides ample instruction and review of the concepts most frequently tested on the SAT, as well as the coaching and implementation of the test-taking techniques that have been proven to work, all while dispelling common myths and reassuring students that the task in front of them is not as daunting as it might seem. To sign up please fill out the form at this link a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the start of the class you are interested in. REGISTER The total $600 for the class will be added to your tuition bill once the class has begun. Contact Mr. Buikema at buikemad@flhsemail.org or Mike directly at mostprep@gmail.comwith questions.

DEVOTIONAL
Daily Lectionary: Malachi 1:1-14; Matthew 3:1-17
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. (Small Catechism: The Table of Duties: Of Civil Government)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. You know what this command to respect the government is all about. It’s posted everywhere you drive, on black and white signs with big numbers! You know, the numbers that are lower than the needle on your speedometer shows? As you grow older, the things that politicians and government officials do will become more important. When you pay taxes (and you already do if you have a job), you will realize that the government is not always something to be talked about with a smile.
Yet government, too, is a gift from God. Who would you call for help if there were no police or fire department? Who would you trust to make sure the restaurant you’re eating at is clean enough if there were no government? Who would fight for us when our nation is attacked?
If there were no government, who would have put Jesus to death? Wait a minute. Isn’t that an example of the abuse of government? Pontius Pilate failed to set an innocent man free. Or did he? Jesus was perfect. He had no sins. Yet He was not innocent. He was guilty. Guilty of all your sins. Guilty of the sin with which you are born and the sins which you have committed. And Jesus Himself, the Son of God, submits Himself to the governing authorities. No objection. No appeal. No voting that bum Pontius Pilate out of office. The governor sentences Jesus to death and to death He goes. For you. For sinners.
Government is not perfect but it is a gift from God. We are citizens of the Lord’s “country” by virtue of our Baptism. You are also a citizen of an earthly country, given the responsibility of loving and serving your neighbor by not breaking the law and by being a good citizen. If you’re not able to vote yet, you will be soon. That is your opportunity to put into office people who will do things to benefit and serve others. That’s a gift for this life from the Lord who will still be king when all earthly nations have passed away! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
God bless our native land; Firm may she ever stand Through storm and night. When the wild tempests rave, Ruler of wind and wave, Do Thou our country save By Thy great might. (God Bless Our Native Land, LSB 965:1)
