Does God will suffering and affliction?
God works His greatest blessings through crosses.
Letter From the President
This pandemic is temporary
Pandemics and plagues have come and gone over the millennia. Christ has sustained His church.
He rose again according to the Scriptures
The apostles were sent by Christ to bear witness to the world. Their words still bear witness to Christ’s resurrection.
And the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness
Jesus fasted for all of us as part of His obedience to the Law. But no doubt, He also fasted to keep His body, mind and spirit focused upon His Father and His mission.
How shall they hear without a preacher?
Belief can’t happen where the message has not been heard. And there can be no hearing of the message without a preacher.
It all rests on Christ
My salvation is as certain as Christ, because everything Christ did is mine! You see, it’s blasphemous to say, “Yes, I believe in Christ, but I don’t know if I’m really going to heaven.”
Visiting friends and partners in the Gospel
Visitation is the sacred duty of every pastor. To be sure, the ministry of Jesus, the apostles and St. Paul was not tied to any one place.
For the sake of the Gospel
The heart of our confession of Christ and the sacred Scriptures is summarized in the Augsburg Confession.
Singing the gospel
Hymns do more than effect emotion or even devotion. They bear the rich, deep words of Holy Scripture — the very Gospel itself — sung right into our hearts and minds.
The best thing going
“I do not recall any delegate denying any biblical teaching of our Lutheran church. In this day and age, that is, frankly, amazing.”
Pray without ceasing
The Psalms are God’s prayer book especially for us.
Thanks, Herb!
