LUTHER QUOTE FOR THE WEEK

Therefore, he who is under this king cannot be harmed either by sin, death, hell or Satan. As his king who lives without sin and is blessed, so must he be kept forever without sin and death in living blessedness. See such great things are contained in these seemingly unimportant words: “Behold your king!”

 (Church Postils, Advent 1)

LIFE QUOTES  “If you have ever done anything wrong or missed doing something perfectly, then you are not truly perfect, and you are going to die. It would be without God, but Jesus takes that weight and sentence off your record. Onto His own shoulders. Anyone who wants forgiveness from God, peace with Him, Paradise opened—just look at Jesus. Everyone who looks on the Son and believes in Him should have eternal life.” (John6:40)  *Rev.Chris Cordes- St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Sleepy Eye, Minnesota*   If you want to support this ministry, you may do so through their web site: www.lutheransforlife.org

 

TO THINK ABOUT....

“We live and die; Christ died and lived!”                         ~ John Stott

Spread the News!

 

I simply argue that the cross be raised again

at the center of the marketplace

as well as on the steeple of the church.

I am rediscovering the claim that

Jesus was not crucified in a cathedral

between two candles

but on a cross between two thieves;

on the town garbage heap,

at a crossroad so cosmopolitan

that they had to write His title

in Latin and in Hebrew and in Greek.

At the kind of place where cynics talk smut

and thieves curse and soldiers gamble:

Because that is where He died

and that is what He died about

and that is where Christians ought to be

and what Christians ought to be about.

                               -- George McLeod
