This week on the Word of the Lord Endors Forever, we move further in Proverbs working through

Chapter 17 and 18 with Evil for Good, a friend loves at all times, sets his face toward wisdom,

deep waters, and a strong tower. Join me, Pastor Will Whedon, for the Word of the Lord

Endors Forever, your daily 15-minute, for the Word of the Lord endures forever, your daily

15-minute verse-by-verse Bible study on demand. Listen at the wordendors.org or your favorite

Greeley's journey to confessional Lutheranism from evangelicalism, skepticism, modern theology,

are outside of us. They are objective realities so that we tend to think of ourselves as very objective Christians,

and we sometimes issue what we think of as the subjective, but there is a teaching in Scripture

and reflected very strongly in the Lutheran Confessions that is not just Christ outside of us, but Christ in us.
