Faces of Faith this week: Queen Vashti
What might threaten the end of a kingdom- rippling out to every family? A war? A famine? Nope! In this week's story it is Queen Vashti refusing to go to the king's drunken banquet so he can show off her beauty. They've already been partying for 6 months...I'm thinking there might be a few other things to be concerned about in terms of the health of the kingdom. Let's explore together this weekend how the queen's act paves the way for God's work.
Mighty God, You work through people, places and events to accomplish Your purposes. Sometimes we see the fruits born of this work and sometimes we pave the way for others. Help us to do both faithfully. In Jesus' name, Amen.

WONDERING...
Real questions from real people to learn more about faith

What do a curb, map, and mirror have to do with the Ten Commandments?
We learned in Camp-firmation this week that rules work in different ways. They can keep us in certain parameters (curb), they can provide a guide of how to navigate our future (map), and they can reveal things about ourselves (mirror). In his explanation in the small catechism, Martin Luther gives us an idea of how this works with the ten commandments. Here's my favorite: The Eighth Commandment—You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. What does this mean? You are to fear and love God, so that we do not tell lies about our neighbors, betray or slander them, or destroy their reputations. Instead we are to come to their defense, speak well of them, and interpret everything they do in the best possible light. WOW!!
