With the Walz pick, I couldn't not think about what I had posted here. Is the LCMS just the ELCA driving the speed limit? Don't say no too quickly.

Every sermon I’ve heard since becoming a Christian assumes that the people in the pews are broken and contrite because of the law. In reality most are proud of their culturally approved sins and have zero remorse

A young evangelical couple came into our office today. We had a 2 hour chat with them. They had heard an interview with Ryan Turnipseed 🦬 on a Christian podcast, and were very interested in finding out more about Lutheran theology. They'll be visiting our church soon.

Why not America? Those who oppose voter ID are doing so to commit fraud.
