Invite someone to Easter!

You are invited to “Come and See!” ONLY six times in the ENTIRE BIBLE will you encounter the invitation to “come and see?” The first three are in the Old Testament.

The end of ‘comfortable’ Christianity

(LCMS/Erik M. Lunsford) Re-posted from the Lutheran Reporter By Matthew C. Harrison The church is not, and never has been, a country club — though in the last century, especially in North America, it might have been confused for one.
