Letter From the President

We believe that God works profound blessings through suffering, even when those blessings may not be at all evident to us.

The creedal statements about Christ in our Nicene Creed express the clear truth about Jesus. He is God in the ﬂesh.

God takes your sin very seriously, that it would be forgiven in Christ. The more seriously we take our sin, the more we cling to Christ, our Savior.

We know where the kingdom of God is on this earth: where the Word of God is preached and Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are administered.

The Christian home should be a kingdom of the Law and the Gospel.

I tell you, in the strong name of Jesus, your sins are forgiven.

“Who do you say that I am?” When confronted by the Word of God, a confession is required.

We subscribe to the Confessions because they are a faithful exposition of God’s Word, not just insofar as they contain the Word of God.

Sound, pure, biblical doctrine is always aimed at the repentance and forgiveness and strengthening of poor sinners like you and me.

The fact that the LCMS is still here confessing the inerrant Scriptures is due in large part to our Lord’s mercy in preserving our schools.

From the time of Paul in Acts, we see the church caring for the needs of its people.

The beneficial, surprising art of keeping a prayer list — whether on an ancient wax tablet or on sticky notes.
