We live in the “already” but “not yet”. Peace is already ours but not yet. The resurrection is already ours but not yet. Justice is already ours but not yet. Until then be comforted by the fact that you are reconciled in Christ on account of his life, death, and resurrection.

Luther neither removed the Apocrypha from the Bible nor discouraged its use. Rather, he received and preserved the ancient distinction inherited from the fathers: the Apocrypha is valuable, edifying, and worthy of reading, but it is not Holy Scripture and therefore cannot serve as the foundation of Christian doctrine.

The confessors at Augsburg remind us that every generation of Christians is called to bear witness to the gospel amid the challenges and pressures of its own age. As they confessed Christ before emperors and kingdoms, so the Church continues to confess Him before the world today.

When your identity is tied up in the judgment of others—you're in deep trouble. Because, however well-curated and photo-shopped your life may be, sooner or later someone is going to look at you, they'll swipe, and they'll move on.
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.
10/25/20
These words provide a very bleak picture of the future of Israel. Fortunately, the next chapters provide Gospel that is equally as clear and direct.
10/23/20
It’s easy to slip into thinking about forgiveness solely in terms of our authority over it.
10/21/20
We now stand holy and blameless before our Heavenly Father as his own dear children, and we are set free to serve our neighbor in love.
10/21/20
Christians are in a unique position to show the world something truly other-worldly. We are free from living in our world as if it contained all there is.
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.
10/19/20
Christ crucified is at the heart of both our freedom from sin and death and our freedom to serve and love our neighbor.
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.
10/18/20
The LORD is the God of Israel and, therefore, Israel can walk in His paths with holiness and righteousness because His holiness is with them and on them.
10/16/20
Our freedom as Christians is not a form of independence. Our freedom in Christ comes from our dependence on him.
