Martin Luther was baptized on November 11, 1483, at St. Peter & St. Paul Church, Eisleben, pictured below. This church has been restored and is now a celebration of Holy Baptism. People can get baptized in the large baptistry in the floor. The inscription is our Lord’s great commission: “Go and baptize all nations in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teach them to be my disciples.” #MartinLuther #Baptism #Lutheran #LCMS

The research is clear: young men are looking for a connection to the ancient church, reverent sacramental worship, faith that asks something of them, to be treated as men, and certainty in an age that believes nothing is certain.
John’s vision in Revelation 7 shows a great multitude no one could number, standing before the throne in robes washed white in the blood of the Lamb. Scripture teaches that sainthood is a gift won by Christ’s suffering, death, and shed blood.

“If the Ten Commandments were not impossible enough, the preaching of Christian behavior, of Christian ethics, of Christian living, can drive a professing Christian into despairing unbelief. Not happy unbelief — tragic, despairing, sad unbelief.” -R Rosenbladt
Our Confessions teach that no man, by his own will or strength, can produce saving faith (AC XVIII), and that the Holy Spirit works only through God’s external Word (SA III VIII).
All Saints’ Day is a universal Christian Feast that honors and remembers all Christian saints, known and unknown celebrated on November 1. Why does the Lutheran Church observe such a day? Doesn't this border on the invocation of the saints that one finds in Roman Catholicism?
God places each of us into various callings- work, family, the civil realm, and the church. He doesn't expect us to abandon our responsibilities in these various calls to serve Him. It is through these stations in life God enables us to serve our neighbor and serve God Himself.
Today is Bots- og bededag—the Norwegian Day of Repentance and Prayer. A time for honest confession of sin and earnest prayer. True repentance is not regret; it is the daily turning and clinging to Christ, who alone justifies sinners. In a noisy age, pause, confess, and pray.
On this Pastor Appreciation Day, I thank God for every AALC pastor who faithfully preaches the Word and administers the Sacraments. Your labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Cor. 15:58). Thank you for your faithfulness.
Christians live as dual citizens, having the joy to serve faithfully in the world as ambassadors of Christ while keeping their ultimate citizenship in heaven and refusing to separate Sunday faith from everyday life.
