There is a great resource for reading the Bible in a year called the One Year Bible. It is a Bible divided up into 365 parts, divided by date, beginning on January 1. If you want to listen to a narration at the same time (or instead of reading), there is a really easy hack to do so (at least for the ESV).

If you’d like to read the Rev. Prof. Charles Porterfield Krauth’s classic The Conservative Reformation and Its Theology (1872), you have a few options. The hardback and paperback version are available in many places: Amazon, CPH, or on used book sites (like Thriftbooks). But it is expensive and it is a large tome to carry about. If you’d like to read it free on your phone or on Kindle, here are some practical tips.

A repeated lament in LCMS circles - usually coming from the non-liturgical contingent - is that “we don’t trust one another in the LCMS.” And it is lamentable. But it should be understandable.

I shared this abomination on social media, and someone replied (as I expected), “Please tell me this isn’t an LCMS church.” And yes, let’s admit it: we’re all thinking the same thing. Every time we see a you-know-what show like this online, that is one of the first things (if not the first thing) that pops into our minds.

Today the church throughout the world honors St. Stephen, the deacon and protomartyr.

I hope they find Him…

There are some who disagree that our colleges ought to use Lutheran symbols (making the case for a kind-of watered down Protestantism to “welcome” non-Lutherans).
