Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Nov 25, 2020

The Star and Stars of Christmas is a series of messages for Advent. Using the idea of a play on a stage. Each message will look at different characters in the Christmas story. The introduction takes a critical look at how many in our society are portrayed as celebrities—bigger than life.

First, it was written with a God-given ability for all players in the script to always love the Lord, follow his precepts for godly living.

Is Free Will Compatible With God’s Decreed Divine Appointments?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 4, 2022

Do people freely make the choices that lead them to Jesus, or does He predetermine them according to His providential will and lead them to make the choices?

I grew up in the occult. My adoptive Mom was the practitioner and a raging blackout alcoholic. It was not the dark satanic sacrificial worship type. Unlike people I have known, I never killed anything, nor was I sexually abused. It was more along the lines of Wiccan witchcraft, occultism, voodoo, ...read more

Our Trust Makes Room For God’s Rewards Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jun 11, 2023

- Do we live with the knowledge that God knows what He’s doing? From creation to this moment, God has been preparing us for redemption because what is to come is God’s wrath for our disobedience, because His holiness demands it. However, His grace provides a way through (or out of) it.

Remain Steadfast In God’s Word & Work

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Jun 26, 2023

It’s fitting for us to consider the Apostle Paul’s final words to his co-worker Timothy on this day (June 25), for the Lutherans of 1530 who presented the Augsburg Confession took seriously Paul’s encouragement and so should we: “Remain steadfast in God’s Word and work.”

On this day 493 years ago, Lutheran princes gathered in south-central Germany, in a town 50 miles outside of Munich and presented a confession of faith to the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. This presentation of the Augsburg Confession on June 25, 1530 is generally recognized as the birth of the ...read more

Names Of God: Adonai, God Our Master And Owner Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 1, 2022

The name Adonai occurs about 300 times in the Old Testament. Every time it’s used it’s written as a possessive plural form. So it could actually be read as “my Lords” which reminds us that God is a trinity, of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

"Servant" in our English New Testament usually represents the Greek doulos (bondslave). Sometimes it means diakonos (deacon or minister); this is strictly accurate, for doulos and diakonos are synonyms. Both words denote a man who is not at his own disposal, but is his master's ...read more
