When the church has gone astray, it has been the responsible (not slavish) approach to history that has helped correct the course.

I’d like to offer a short reflection on the theme of “worldliness” as it appears in his later work and how that’s connected to an item of his Lutheran heritage: the theology of the cross.

We’re messed up people with messed up bodies. All of us. Even Miss America gets hemorrhoids. The Fall mocks us in our own skin. We’re all walking sermons.

When we brag about what Jesus does for us, we win the battle.

The Holy Spirit keeps us in faith and pours us out into the world so others may also hear and believe.

Jesus has won the battle. The war is over. In His death, the victory’s sure.
