God has not told us, therefore we do not know the answer to this question, nor do we need to know it. It is a mystery this side of heaven. But the important thing is to have God’s Word—and believe what He actually says. The book of Hebrews itself is one of the strongest witnesses … Continue reading Who Wrote Hebrews?

Book Review: “The Girl God”
This book is pure paganism, but at least it is honest, though thoroughly mistaken. In actuality, it is an attack on Christianity. It talks of God not being “male,” but that is not Christian. God reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in masculine words, but He is spirit—not physically male or female. God … Continue reading Book Review: “The Girl God”

Self-chosen Identities are Satanic
One of the main facets of pagan living today is that most choose a label to identity themselves and then base their standing and value on some activity or action around it.

This helpful quote is quite revealing: "In modern times, … Continue reading Self-chosen Identities are Satanic

Satan is fine with the outward aspects of Christianity, as long as there is no power to take away sins and sustain faith. What did Jesus say to the religious experts of His … Continue reading How to Turn Christianity into a Secular Religion
Church Discipline
This solid, biblical article I ran across while researching online, illustrates just how much the synodical literature of today has changed. This article came out in the Aug. 7th, 1896 issue of The Lutheran Witness. It is entirely doctrinal and dispenses with academic vacillation or trying to appeal to the wisdom of the world. It … Continue reading Church Discipline

As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. Motherhood is enemy of power – being big and mighty – in the world. The world is a brutal place. To get glory and honor, you must take it, demand it and fight for it. But motherhood is … Continue reading Sermon on Motherhood

Rev. M. J. Nicolaus In a recent Bible Class on “Love and the Family” someone mentioned that although the study guide had been produced in 1971, the discussion questions seemed to be very contemporary. So was the discussion. The conversation, a very lively one, brought about three questions.
