Time to take back the narrative...

[The Lutheran Witness @LutheranWitness]

What stories have influenced the way you think?

[Jeff and Jessica Bratz @Jbcollective]

@katieschuermann Somehow we missed that the third in the Creed series is out! Kids can't wait to read it!

[Jeff and Jessica Bratz @Jbcollective]

@FrMatthewLC @HansFiene Oh wow...so are rainbows only seen in Mesopotamia? Or was that a sign given to all people? Or is the promise only good for Mesopotamia? The slope on your "hill" seems a bit slippery

[Jeff and Jessica Bratz @Jbcollective]

@IssuesEtc thank you so much for answering Gus' question..he really appreciated your explanations...much better than my answer :)

[Jeff and Jessica Bratz @Jbcollective]

@IssuesEtc..my son Gus (8 YO) wanted me to ask Pastor Conner: Since Jesus holds all things together, why did the world not crumble when he died. I tried my best to answer, and I think I did answer a while ago, but I failed to answer well enough. We were hoping Pastor might help!

[Jeff and Jessica Bratz @Jbcollective]

It works now! Thank you!!

[Jeff and Jessica Bratz @Jbcollective]

[Jeff and Jessica Bratz @Jbcollective]

@KFUOradio Be seen as He sees me through what the Messiah has done? Idk if i explained this the best haha

[Jeff and Jessica Bratz @Jbcollective]

@KFUOradio Hi Pastor Appel, do you think Isaac at the well "He sees me" could be a foreshadowing that the promise of Abraham's decendant will be applied to all people, not just the blood line of Isaac? Although the well was named in a more temporal manner, the promise "He sees me" can now

[Jeff and Jessica Bratz @Jbcollective]

@RevFisk... years ago you spoke about Adam and Eve being barred from the Garden of Eden and how entering Church by what Christ has done for us now can be a picture of entering Eden. Years later this picture was made. Flaming swords laid down as the Angles announce Christ's birth

[Jeff and Jessica Bratz @Jbcollective]

Early Christmas present from my wife! Love it!

[Jeff and Jessica Bratz @Jbcollective]

@WmWeedon @JoshuaBarzon Have you tried the EHV? What are your thoughts on it?

[AdCrucem @Ad_Crucem]

"The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust."
Psalm 103:8-14

I think we will be amazed one day when we finally understand how merciful and kind our God is. All our petty little squabbles will evaporate and we will see Him face to face.
