Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

Have you ever had any concerns or anxiety about what will happen to you when the Lord returns to finally put to rights all that is wrong in his creation? After all, Scripture is full references about God's wrath and his promise to judge his good world and its peoples gone bad. So why wouldn't we have some anxieties about our eternal destiny? But in our epistle reading, the apostle Paul has some surprising answers for us and it makes all the difference in the world. Check out what Fr. Maney has to say about this and see what you think. Lectionary texts for today are Zephaniah 1.7, 12-18; Psalm 90; 1 Thessalonians 5.1-11; Matthew 25.14-30.
