Ephesians 2:8-9 says: “8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 notContinue reading “The Lutheran Choice”

I found this on my pastor’s blog and is an interesting read, and I like Todd would like to have a reading on where people stand on this. Todd’s blog is here. In short there is a move to have churches that listen to sermons on DVD in other countries. The article speaks about aContinue reading “Franchising the Global Church”

This week I am at confirmation camp. We are looking at the book of Acts and the characters that help us understand our faith. On Tuesday (yesterday) the group I am in lead a session on Stephen.
