Warts in all, the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod is the best thing going for bold Book of Concord

Lutheranism.

Pastor Matt Harrison, president of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, talking about his presentation

at the 26 issues, et etc., making the case conference.

The scriptures are actually true. We confess the ancient Catholic faith. We're the truest of

evangelicals. The gospel alone saves. We are not a sect. God's saving acts are still going on in

You can meet and hear Pastor Matt Harrison, making the Case for the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod
