PRAY FERVENTLY FOR ROD ROSENBLADT IMMEDIATELY

We continue to get significantly negative signs in Dad’s blood. The doctor said that at this point we have to say that Dad is in a state of multi-organ failure. (Kidneys, liver) They keep adding blood but it’s not staying, and no one

** HOW TO PRAY:
PLEASE PRAY THAT DAD’S KIDNEY FUNCTION IS FULLY RESTORED, THAT THE ANTIBIOTICS FINISH DESTROYING THE REMAINING INFECTIONS, AND THAT HE WAKES QUICKLY WITH MAXIMUM COMFORT AND INDEPENDENT FUNCTION

“I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Christ my Lord, or come to Him…”

To the degree this not confessed, the Sacraments and their salvation will be likewise diminished…until it hits absolute zero.

'The False gospels of Accommodation'

The religion of accommodation is everywhere today, and it shows.
Seeker-friendly churches allow those who couldn’t care less about the church to define the church, jettisoning everything that resembles historic Christian worship in favor

Things are way worse than we first thought. Dad has sepsis and pneumonia. The flu symptoms masked these dire conditions. Dad is getting great care, but facing organ failure with the sepsis. The doctors are on top of this, and we are very thankful.

PLEASE pray. A lot. Tell others

Jesus has come. And He has blessed you with His name. In your baptism. #JesusHasYou . All. Day. Long.

If you will not have Christ in your ear (confession/absolution), stuck in your teeth (the Supper), and washed over you bodily (Baptism), then the Christ in your heart is simply false, unenlightened zeal for God (Romans 10).

Moments ago DOT cameras caught a destructive #tornado moving over I-65 just north of downtown Nashville. Power flashes and even an explosion can be seen in the distance! This storm cell continues to push east this evening!

If sanctification is merely a matter of getting used to your justification, then what is heard in a sermon makes ALL the difference—between death and life.

I have some difficult news to share about our sweet baby.

Baptism frees you to belong exclusively to God, the justifier who is Creator-out -of-nothing. Baptism is therefore the life of the Christian from which there is no progress. All life 'daily' returns to baptism because of its promise, (Romans 6:8) #Lutheran

'We live for the most part, on the strength of our moral fiber, under the law, by our zeal for God and all that which tickles our proud fancy.' -Gerhard Forde

If one’s view of flesh and Spirit boils down to vice and virtue, respectively, they’re clearly still stuck in the Law.

The Devil masterfully wields both of those to cut us off from grace, or keep us from hearing to begin with.

There is a great difference between 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 Christ and being 𝘪𝘯 Him.

The former is your “doing” (never quite finished…in fact we’re experienced wanderers.)

The latter is God’s. Full and complete. For you—so that where Christ is, so are you.

God wants the sacraments to be a sign and testimony that Christ's life has taken up your death, his obedience your sin, his love your hell, and he has overcome them. Moreover, through the same sacraments you are included and made one with all the saints.
~Martin Luther

Please pray for Riley Faith. She has stage 4 adrenocortical carcinoma cancer. Part of liver has been removed. Her portal vein is now bigger because of the cancer. She might be taken out of the clinical trail. They are calling in palliative care. Only 7. Jesus we need you now. 🙏
