Matthew C. Harrison

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.

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.

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.

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

To the extent that our preaching today is devoid of the resurrection, it too is in vain.

Faith is the “sack” that receives and holds the gift of the Gospel.

This timeless piece, written during the rise of the Hitler regime in 1936, has much for us to ponder in our day and about ourselves.

The matter of the inerrancy of Holy Scripture is a matter of faith, not sight.
