john,

Here is a scripture for April 14 not provided by the Revised Common Lectionary.

Revelation 12

8 Neither was there place found in heaven for the great dragon, who was cast out; that old serpent called the devil, and also called Satan, which deceiveth the whole world; he was cast out into the earth; and his angels were cast out with him.
9 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ;
10 For the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 For they have overcome him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; for they loved not their own lives, but kept the testimony even unto death. Therefore, rejoice O heavens, and ye that dwell in them.

PAPER #5,The First Presidency (of Community of Christ), January 9, 1979, 4:15 p.m.
COPING WITH CONFLICTING MESSAGES
It seems that it is difficult for persons who feel compelled to express their divergent views to discriminate between the lawful powers given to the First Presidency for the sake of the church and the privilege they have as individual members of the church to express their point of view. There certainly must be opportunity to express dissent and dissatisfaction and this should be done directly with the officer or officers involved. The First Presidency are willing to give a hearing to responsible criticism. Members do not have a right, however to directly circularize the church with a point of view or style which conflicts with the program emphasis being presented to the church.
