Our two most senior elders, Brothers John & Sam, encouraged the congregation with these thoughts: “Unless you have a connection with the Lord, you will not know what it is to have “The angel of the Lord encamped round about you that fear Him, and delivereth you. ' ' You will not know what it is to “taste and see that the Lord is good, because blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”Without a personal relationship with the Lord, you have nothing to trust in when your back is against the wall, and your world is falling apart. The word of the Lord cannot be your stability and the Rock of your salvation if the word was never implanted into your soul.

Lutherans promote and even exhort every Christian to make use of private confession and absolution. The Concordians opposed mandatory confession but urged every Christian, pastors and laity alike, to use their freedom in Christ to receive Christ's free forgiveness. There are two kinds of confession common among Christians: confession to the Lord and confession to the neighbor, as expressed in the Lord's Prayer. Yet the Church calls pastors to exercise the Office of the Keys by offering private, confidential confession, so that all who come in faith may receive a clear conscience in Christ. Rev. Ben Meyer, pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Caledonia, MI, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to begin a study of private confession. To learn more about St. Paul Lutheran Church, visit stpaulcaledonia.org. Find your copy of the Book of Concord - Concordia Reader's Edition at cph.org or read online at bookofconcord.org. Study the Lutheran Confession of Faith found in the Book of Concord with lively discussions led by host Rev. Brady Finnern, President of the LCMS Minnesota North District, and guest LCMS pastors. Join us as these Christ-confessing Concordians read through and discuss our Lutheran doctrine in the Book of Concord in order to gain a deeper understanding of our Lutheran faith and practical application for our vocations.
