In our meditation we ponder the chosen text on the strength of the promise that it has something utterly personal to say to us for this day and for our Christian life.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, from "Life Together"

What Satan can and cannot do
Satan cannot create, but he can corrupt.

J.J.
While we remain in the church militant, we live by the two letters Bach used many times at the beginning of his pieces: J.J.
Jesu Juva
Jesus Help Me

Sunday will be super!
We are going to have a super Sunday at LICL! We will rejoice in the good news that God does not "stand down," never takes a break, wouldn't think of going on an extended vacation, leaving His children on their own. God is wherever His Word is proclaimed and His sacraments are shared. So join us for a super time of worship.
Our Saturday service begins at 5 pm and our Sunday services are held at 8 and 11 am. If you've ever wondered if God hears some prayer requests and ignores others, you'll want to hear my message. I think it will be helpful. So, have a blessed weekend and join us for worship! You'll feel "super" when you leave!

A disciple is...
A disciple is one who personally and freely owns his Master's mission.

What is the church's priority?
Numerous nonprofit organizations, Christian and non-Christian, address social justice issues around the world. But only the church is called to proclaim salvation in Jesus Christ.

One reason you infuriate your unbelieving friends
Yet this unquarrelsomeness and certainty of being right in Christ is the very thing that infuriates the ungodly. That anybody can be so sure of being right really irritates the ungodly, who know no such certainty and seek to do away with their uncertainty by pathetic demonstrations of mind or might or money.
