Preaching and Teaching from St. John Ev. Lutheran Church (Sherman Center), Random Lake, Wisconsin

You don’t need God to give you more rules or advice. You don’t need a church to be a place of tips for living or full of activities that need doing. You don’t need to make a deal with God as you’d break it anyway. You are baptized, raised from such dead works, to live in the newness of Christ’s life. You live as free people, dead to sin and alive in Christ Jesus. You live each day in Christ’s Word, Christ’s baptism, and Christ’s body and blood. You live in the forgiveness of sins. You live in Christ’s righteousness and live forever.

The direction of your life’s journey and where it will end is completely dependent on who you follow. All roads apart from the narrow path of Christ. Even if paved with gold and diamonds, they still lead to judgment and eternal condemnation. Not all roads are full of Christ’s mercy and lead to His heaven. To be a Christian is to forsake all self-appointed and self-created means of justification and to trust in Christ alone. As a certain scribe said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go” (Matthew 8:19).
