Christ Is Our Rock. Be Bold!
Our house of faith is built on the Rock!
Matthew Harrison
On Pastors and Spiritual Priests
“Whether proclaimed by a layperson, preacher—indeed by the devil himself,” the Word does its work.
Keep Us Sober and on the Horse
Christ has given us both spiritual priests and pastors. That’s His mission paradigm. When both are functioning as God has given, there is mutual love and complementary support.

Luther realized it was not about an active righteousness (our actions), but about a passive righteousness (God’s actions in Christ credited to us freely)!
How Shall We Regard the Bible?
The best place for us to get hold of what the Bible is and how to understand it is found in Jesus Himself. How does Jesus regard the Bible?
Why Read the Bible?
What’s the benefit of reading and knowing the Bible? So that the Word of God achieves its purpose in your life too.

Are you hopeless? Bury yourself in the Scriptures!
Does the Lutheran Reformation Have a Future?
The real story of the Reformation is about the march of the Church of Jesus Christ in the face of impossible odds — thirsting for Christ and His means of grace, trusting in the Bible as God’s inerrant Word, struggling in the North but growing tremendously in the South.
Where Is Your God?
The secret to living a good news life in a bad news world is marveling with joy at the vast ordered complexity of all creation and recognizing by faith the God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) who created it all for our blessed surprise, enjoyment, and faith.
The Joy of Church
The Church endures because Christ endures, and he will never let his Gospel go un-believed, until the end of time.
Joy of Family
Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son provides the grandest sprint ever recorded. It unveils for us the heart of God the Father in Christ. Our God rejoices over sinners and sprints to show it.
To Rome with Love
The verse that lit the Roman world and sparked the Lutheran Reformation is true still today: “The Gospel . . . is the power of God for salvation” (Rom. 1:17).
