  2. A multi-day workshop for pastors to hone the Craft of Preaching
  3. God has told us everything necessary for faith. However he has not told us everything there is to know.
  4. The Bible isn’t a set of moral examples or religious insights. It’s the record of God’s saving work, fulfilled in Christ, delivered now through words spoken and heard.
  5. We believe in a Savior who raises the dead: this is why the church is the one place on earth that can speak plainly about abortion without collapsing into despair.
  6. The crisis is not merely that people are leaving. The crisis is that we have relinquished what is uniquely Lutheran and deeply needed.
  7. Christmas is not for remembering, thinking, pondering, trying to make sure you are really celebrating it properly, or for wondering whether you truly have faith.
  8. Merry Christmas, Christ has spoken, and his verdict stands.
  9. Lewis once pointed out that Christianity does not begin by telling us how to behave, but by telling us what is wrong.
  10. Seek moments of silence, and use them to listen and ponder.
  11. What would the world be like without Christmas? That is, what would it be like without the declaration of Christmas: “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord”?
  12. Every age has its emergencies, and the church must never ignore them. Yet, our response cannot be one of panic or propaganda.
