Auden understands Luther’s doctrine of justification by faith not as a mere theological platitude, a trick of biblical grammar, or a catchphrase for men to rally around.

Our Lord Jesus builds, forms, and fashions his church as an artist forms a mosaic.

We need a God who acts for us, each of us in particular. We need a God who sticks to His Word that He will never abandon or forsake us.
10/25/20
Jesus breaks through our barriers in His beatitudes. He shatters our conceptions of the blessed life and opens the Kingdom of God to all people.
10/23/20
God's city is beautiful because God has constructed it to offer eternal safety to all weary sinners.
10/22/20
We need to remember that we belong to God by Grace Alone. It’s not by our best works. Not by the sweat of our brow, it’s not even by our best attempts to repent.
10/22/20
Jesus will strengthen and encourage us because he is true life, and life has defeated death.
10/20/20
Satan and the old Adam don't want Jesus to bear our crosses for us because that means we can't claim that we've done anything to merit God's mercy and salvation.
10/20/20
The Gospel is gift, pure and simple. It is backwards. It is upside down. It is foolish. And as long as people are sinners, it is as relevant as ever.
10/18/20
The command to love those nearby is as challenging as it is simple. Jesus took the initiative to come near to us in loving sacrifice.
10/18/20
Justification matters so deeply. It is a matter of life and death, Heaven and Hell. It must be preached that way. Especially today.
10/15/20
In God's way of doing salvation, we see Jesus crucified and risen from death. We see in Jesus God's great mercy and the depths of our selfish sinfulness.
10/14/20
The Gospel is a precious and comforting word. It comforts and refreshes the sad heart. It wrestles it out of the jaws of death and hell and transports it to the certain hope of eternal life, through faith in Christ.
