Here's a gift recommendation for your pastor during pastor appreciation month, the

Concordia commentary on Hagai and Malachai. This new commentary explores Hagai's

exhortation to rebuild the temple and Malachai is concerned with the practices in the temple.

The Concordia commentary on Hagai and Malachai is published by Concordia Publishing House.

Their phone number 1-800-325 40, or learn more at issues E.C.org, the new Concordia commentary on Hagai and Malachai. If you are a conservative Christian, championing an ethic of chastity, an ethic of

marriage as being the primary moral good.

I think that puts you on the wrong side of the culture.

And I think this is why, sadly, the sexual revolution

is no longer a revolution.

It's basically as American as baseball and apple pie at this point.

Allow the secular liberal to donate to the art museum.

If you're a biblical Christian who believes the truth about marriage and about the sanctity of life, you need to prioritize your

giving to those causes and to those institutions doing the most important work.

As we struggle with suffering of so many different kinds, It's like this is the fork in the

road and one fork leads to isolation and anger and self-hatred and the other fork leads to Christ and Christ's church.

And we thank the Lord that he raised up Luther to be a helpful teacher and preacher in the church, but to give him any other

office than that, then the teacher of the gospel, is to lift him where the Lord has not

lifted him.

Our trust is in Christ and in Christ alone.

Confessional Lutheran missionary campus pastors, love issues, etc.

Ruth Graham has a headline in the New York Times around Dallas. The church scandals seem to have no end in this part of Texas, a pastor with a clean

reputation is not to be taken for granted.
