    As I mentioned in another thread, I'm going through the Augsburg Confession, and I'm struggling with a few of the articles. This is one of them. For reference, it reads: [/FONT] I've bolded the part I'm having a problem with. What this seems to say to me is that churches in which the...

    What's the Difference?

    Lately I've been studying up Lutheran doctrine. And I can't figure out the difference between the WELS and the LCMS. They both hold to the Confessions being an accurate description of biblical doctrine. Is it primarily small things such as evolution and the like? Or, are there bigger issues...

    What Hymns Does God Use to Minister to You?

    I often find that when I'm having a hard time or I'm down, God will minister to me by sticking a hymn in my mind. It is usually very relevant to whatever my tribulation of the time is. Lately, it's been this one. Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, Calling for you and for me; See, on the...
