By God's grace, with intrepid hearts, we are willing to appear before the judgment seat of Christ with this confession and give an account of it.

We will not speak or write anything contrary to this confession, either publicly or privately.

By the strength of God, we intend to abide by it.

Dr. John Bruss, president of Concordia

You can meet and hear Dr. John Bruss, making the case for the Lutheran Confessions

at this year's Making the Case Conference. The premier conference for Christian Laity is

Friday, July 18th and Saturday, July 19th at Concordia University, Chicago.
