When we stop looking to Christ in faith, we are walking in sin. Anything (including our supposed law-keeping) that does not proceed from faith is sin.

The place where it is most difficult for us to accept God’s will is when suffering, calamities, and finally, death itself.

The season of Lent gives almost unparalleled opportunity for preachers to placard before their auditors the Cross of Christ and beckon Christians to take up their cross and follow Him.
02/12/21
The paradoxical Puritan doctrines of an inability to convert oneself and the command to work out one’s salvation with fear and trembling placed would-be converts like Mather in quite a bind.

John T. Pless has prepared a midweek Lenten sermon series that will fix our eyes on the saving work of the triune God. Based on Martin Luther’s hymn “Dear Christians One and All Rejoice,” this series will provide preachers an opportunity to proclaim the saving work of God to their hearers throughout the season of Lent.

Freedom and reconciliation were significant themes for both of the Martin Luthers.

Any good work we perform among you; any doctrine we write upon your heart – that is God’s own work.

Luther’s Christmas sermons remind us that unless Christ is proclaimed FOR YOU, He is not preached.
