This world of unbearable grief and accidental calamity is being renewed and, soon, will be completely bereft of every pernicious foe.

The firestorm of the Reformation which turned Europe upside-down was not Luther’s doing. It was the Word, and the Spirit working through it.

God's power and works are awesome and cannot be stifled. His grace and mercy will be heard above the growls and howls of those who deny Christ Jesus is God and Savior

Christ has received the mark of law that we might be marked with the gospel, with the sign of his holy cross on our heads and hearts as redeemed children of God.

This Christmas season we are thankful that even though we “fallers” are unable to climb up to God, he came down the ladder to us.

Our Lord is not only the King of creation but the King of creativity.
