Martin Luther wrote these words regarding his assurance in his own salvation in Christ Jesus in the face of the depth of his own sin and the accusations of the Devil.

@LutheranAnswers I dunno.

I think that knowing that Jesus is the only intercessor with the Father is actually pretty exciting!

@MetzUAC1530 The symbolism is widely seen as " walking the path".

Kind of like a prayer walk.

But for Ba'al.

To anyone reading this who might be facing a similar crossroads, meet my son Josh.

Josh is 3 and has Down Syndrome, the very condition shared about here in this post. We received a prenatal diagnosis at roughly 10 weeks. Some of the complications we feared happened, but that wasn't the end of the story. Josh was born early and spent a month in the hospital. At 1 year old, he had open-heart surgery. Now he's 3, loves life, and is thriving. The hard days didn't win.

If anyone else finds themselves in a similar place, reach out. There's a whole community of people here to support you. It hasn't always been easy, but he's worth every bit of it and then some.

This liturgucal year, I have tried taking up the practice of reading Luther's, Gerhard's, and Giertz's postils around Sunday. I am always blessed by what I find in these sermons, and so I highly recommend this practice, especially if you are a preacher and/or a teacher

The AIDS crisis is one of the most effective spin jobs in history. Gays successfully depicted themselves as hapless victims of an alien disease that fell out of the sky and randomly started slaughtering them while they were minding their own business, when in reality gays were actually killing each other with a disease that could have been curbed if they had been willing to refrain from devoting themselves to physically destructive sexual acts. But they weren't willing. They loved their lust more than the lives of their friends and neighbors.

So when you see children's programs celebrate Pride Month, let this be a reminder of how effective the spin job was. So many in our world are still pretending that "homophobia" is the most murderous threat gay men face when homosexual acts was the actual culprit the entire time. As always, sinful man would rather watch his neighbors die than mortify his own flesh.

The immeasurable love of God is shown in Christ. If you ever wonder whether God loves you, look outside of yourself and toward Christ. In Christ, through His suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension, the love of God is made utterly plain. All this Christ did, for you.

[Erik Johnson 🦬 @RedProdigal]

So, any moots gonna be at the @IssuesEtc conference in a few weeks?

[Erik Johnson 🦬 @RedProdigal]

@mementalmori Of course.

I faced the same struggle back in the day.

In the end, and this may seem strange encouragement, but we regret the conversations we don't have more than those we do.

Continuing to keep you and your father in prayer.

God bless!
