Is There Marriage in Heaven?
Is there marriage in heaven? It seems that most Christians will tell you “no” based on Jesus words in Matthew 22:23-33 and it’s parallel account in Luke 20:27-40. I’ll copy both here for the sake of convenience. According to Matthew: … Continue reading

Trouble in Paradise
There are always people who hate this world. And I don’t mean because of the Fall–the fact that we suffer because the world has been broken by sin. I mean they hate that God created the world according to His … Continue reading

When Doctrine is Obvious, It’s Also Serious

A Call to Repentance from Australia
The entire Covid situation has presented everyone with a lot of hard questions. But Christians should often be asking more and different questions than the world asks. I received a great document written by Rev. Dr. Michael Lockwood of the Lutheran … Continue reading

Religious exemptions aren’t the long-term solution to the tyrannical vaccine mandates, but for some families, they may be what keeps a roof overhead and food on the table in the short-term. I’ve been frustrated that the LCMS has thus far … Continue reading

Lies, Damned Lies, and Submission
If there’s one thing American society demonstrates, it’s how much Satan hates marriage & family. He’s all about murdering babies, defiling the marriage bed, amputating spouses from each other, cannibalizing family with government, and so forth. One of his staples … Continue reading
