If we just say to God, “We don’t get it, please explain,” he will. He will send us a preacher to point us to his words for more clarification.
-
This is an excerpt from the prologue of “On Any Given Sunday: The Story of Christ in the Divine Service” by Mike Berg (1517 Publishing, 2023).
-
Past, present, and future are tied together in Christ.
-
My fear of this coming darkness only lasts a moment.
-
The needs of the people remain the same, but now the people are you and me. We still sin, and that sin causes so many challenges in our lives.
-
It’s scary to share my struggle and to show that I have cracks because once I’ve shown my cards, I open myself up for judgment.
-
This is an excerpt from the introduction of “Common Places in Christian Theology: A Curated Collection of Essays from Lutheran Quarterly,” edited by Mark Mattes (1517 Publishing, 2023).
-

-

-
Sunshine and rain, food and harvests, family, friends, and health, love and joy. All these things and more he gives, not because of what you do or don’t do, but because he is generous and gracious.
-
We can’t predict the harvest. We can only sow.
