Martyrdom: The Increase of Christ

Greetings, grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

To hear what the baptized have in common with St. John the Baptizer, and how we are blessed by Christ our Lord even as the world curses us, click on this MP3 audio link. Martyrdom: The Increase of Christ

Thanks be to God that though we become separated even from our own life, by the power of His Holy Spirit at work in the Word and Sacraments of the Church, He never lets us be separated from our true head, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Your servant of the Word,
Pastor Hering

Wisdom for Church & State

"One Word of God is all and all are one, one doctrine is all doctrines and all are one, so that when one is lost all are eventually lost, because they all belong together and are held together by a common bond." – Dr. Martin Luther

"Nevertheless we consider it our duty to criticize, refute, oppose, contend against, and reprove whatever error becomes manifest in the teaching of those who wish to be our brethren, whether this error pertains to a fundamental or a non-fundamental teaching of the Word of God……" -– C. F. W. Walther

"Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that National morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle." –- George Washington

"Politics and morality are inseparable. And as morality’’s foundation is religion, religion and politics are necessarily related. We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect, and our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they’’re sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive." —— Ronald Reagan

"Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born." -- Ronald Reagan
