Matthew C. Harrison

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.

The message of Christ’s crucifixion is complete folly to the world and has been ridiculed from the beginning.

In repentance and faith, Christ’s resurrection is ours, precisely on the worst of days.

Our dear pastors and workers continue to love and care for millions of God’s people.

We will advocate for life. We’ll march. But the greatest thing we can do is speak forgiveness in Jesus.
