The Word of the Lord is sure. The enemy is defeated. Salvation is waiting for you.

“Come join the murder,” the black ravens of his heart cried. “Come join it again, old friend.” And so he did. The prodigal relapsed. Re-sinned. Re-destroyed his life. Would his father welcome him home this time?
03/19/22
The thrill of God’s grace fades and the slow march toward the cross dulls the heart. At such times, the former life beckons. Temptations to return grow strong. Which makes Lent such an important annual exercise.
03/16/22
Edward's goal of teaching his people to know the scriptures and to believe that their salvation depended on Christ is also essential for us today.
03/13/22
Luther recognized that in the penitential psalms, God gives us the words to cry out to Him in our distress, lament our sins, and confess trust in the promise of His righteousness in which alone is our sure and certain hope.
03/13/22
The vinedresser refused to give up on his unfruitful tree. He put himself between it and the judgment it deserved, serving as mediator and caretaker.
03/10/22
When we own up to our sin, our Father is not scandalized, and his response is not to reconsider his calling us.
03/09/22
Confession is not another ecclesiastical bludgeon but is instead a gift. There we can tell the truth about ourselves, knowing that Christ has only mercy for us in response.
03/08/22
Luther had a living Word from God intended to land squarely among sinners.
03/06/22
Jesus' course led from death into life, as He had promised. And He promises to lead us on that same course from death to life, from lament to joy.
03/03/22
This is the patient love of God. He is stubborn about the salvation of sinners. He will not be rushed even if his name is mocked, and the trustworthiness of his promises are called into question.
02/26/22
As the greater and more faithful Son of God, Jesus did what the Israelites could not do. Neither can we.
