May the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod always stand on scripture even as the culture enacts laws to assault the word of God, and demonize His followers. We have entered a dark era of American history, when religious freedom is under attack. No doubt some churches and denominations have already been compromised and ceased to be a light on the hill. Remaining faithful will come at a cost, but it is the only way for the true Christian church. The LCMS may well become a target for the enemies of God, and it may have to walk through the fires of persecution. May we remain faithful ourselves. Come quickly Lord Jesus.
