The world is one of the three great enemies…. The devil The world Our sinful nature Martin Luther reminds us that while it's easy to blame 'the world' for its faults. But…. We must remember: WE are part of the world.  We're not above the fray.  Every Christian has idols and worldly cares.  And our sins hurt our neighbors, making us part of the problem. But, the law isn't about pointing fingers; it's about self-reflection.  It's not a "they" problem.. … it's a "you" problem.  And just as the law is personal, so is the gospel. Jesus isn't here to fix 'them.’ He's here to forgive YOU. Remember: the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

The Gospel for Complainers

We’re told the same thing over and over. Christianity doesn’t fit with today’s culture. The thing is, it isn’t the culture saying it. It’s the church. We’ve done a great job figuring out what we’re not. Sometimes we forget what we are. We’re the saints, washed in the blood of the lamb. We’re sinners Jesus made holy. This defines us. There are places Christianity doesn’t fit with today’s culture because Christianity isn’t bound by culture. We’re free in Christ to be uncultured. Not against it. Not apart from it. Undefined by it, because we’re defined by something greater. Join Pr. Goodman and Pr. Lietzau, the uncultured saints, as we tackle today’s issues through the lens of the Lutheran Confessions and find answers to today’s questions rooted in a timeless truth in Christ.
