 Twenty-First Sunday after Trinity, October 24th, 2021

St. Paul writes in the Sixth Chapter of his Epistle to the Ephesians:  "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6)   If there is one thing that we need to do today, we need to stand strong against the devil.  You will notice as you read this sixth chapter that St. Paul emphasizes to put on the "whole armour of God."  This is necessary because we need to protect ourselves against all kinds of assaults that the devil will throw against us.  St. Paul continues on by making the point that we do not wage battle with "flesh and blood" (in other words, against other men) but we are in danger from "the rulers of the darkness of this world" and "spiritual wickedness in high places."  For that reason we need the protection of God.  We need the Good Lord to be with us.  We need all the tools available which only God can provide.  As St. Paul writes, we need all the protection which God can provide.  We need:  "truth,  . . . and righteousness; and  peace;   . . . . and faith, . . .  and salvation, and the word of God"  And then finally, St. Paul emphasizes that we need to pray!  How often do we pray?  Is it daily?  Weekly?  Monthly?  Do we only pray when we need something from God?  We need to make time for God on a daily basis.  We need to go to Him and seek His protection and His assistance in battling the devil and the demons of the world because they are busy assaulting us on a daily basis.  We need God now more than ever.  We find ourselves in the world but we do not have to be "of the world."  Remember who you belong to!  Stay close to God and give your life to Him!  

St. Margaret of Scotland Anglican Church worships every Sunday morning at 10:30 AM at the Chapel at Marquette Manor, which is located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.

NOTE:  Keep in mind that we must enter in the main entrance of the lobby and sign in before we go to the chapel.  

Please Join us as we gather together as God's family to:  hear the Word of God; listen as God speaks to each one of us in our hearts; worship God in song and in word; listen to the King James Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer; and, finally, receive Our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion so that we can be nourished for the journey we call life.  Take one hour out of your busy schedule to worship God, to honour God, to acknowledge the need for God in your life.
