  1. Morris Officer, founder of the first Lutheran mission in Liberia, looked squarely at the slave trade and could bear it no longer. He prayed that every trace of that cruel traffic would be washed away. His response wasn’t theory, but repentance and hope. What injustices do we dare to pray would be cleansed from our own world—and our own hearts?

  2. David Chytraeus, the Lutheran theologian, reads 1 John with unnerving clarity: to refuse love is already a kind of death. Christ’s self-giving redefines what life looks like, and when we seal our hearts against need, we quietly deny that love lives in us at all. Love, then, must become concrete—truth taking flesh in action.

    How can you show love?

  3. Revere Franklin Weidner, a #Lutheran seminary president, considers pew rents, in light of James 2:3. The sad distinctions of common life must not be reinforced in the house of God. Give strangers the best seats!

    Is he attacking the church for a social agenda, or he is simply obeying the word of God?

    How can you make congregational life easier for poor members?
