Luther talked about doing what lies at hand.  What he meant by that is that we, in our vocations, rely upon God to accomplish anything and trust in God to receive anything, while working as hard as we can at everything according...

Habeas Corpus means “you shall have the body”, our “we want the body” depending on which Perry Mason episode you prefer.  The idea was that police cannot just haul people off to some hidden place where...

Today there will be a Capstone presentation by the undergraduate students of the Business School at Concordia St Paul (CSP) in Minnesota. The students used Project 24 and CCC-K as their business case study for this semester. Rev...

It is an honor and a privilege for me to serve on a Board that calls and certifies Chaplains of the LCMS for service.  It is an amazing group of people that serve and have served in the past.  I found a transcription of an...

    Colossians 1:18 “And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” Unbelievable that it is the end of the...
