Funny story from my study this week of “perfect love casts out fear” …

Once upon a time, Jane was going to get married, and her friend Jemima decided to send them a text message wishing the happy couple well. She thought of the verse that we had in our first reading,
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear”, but, text messages being what they are, she decided just to send the reference: 1 John 4:18. Unfortunately, in her haste, she omitted the “1”, showing that it was John’s letter rather than John’s Gospel, and the verse Jane found when she looked it up in the Gospel read: “For you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband.”

A new song …

http://bible.us/59/PSA96.1.ESV Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord , all the earth! Sing to the Lord , bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. For great is the Lord , and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth!

God our strength …

http://bible.us/59/2CO1.8.ESV For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.
