Male and Female He Created Them: Speaking the Truth in Love about Transgenderism
Perhaps someone you know or someone in your child’s school has come out recently as transgender. School districts, government leaders, doctors, counselors and ubiquitous popular media are teaching us all, including many in the church, false and unhealthy ideas about what it means to be human.

God’s Plan for the World, for You!
God has a plan for you! He has a plan for us. He has a plan for the whole world. God indeed has a plan. The problem is that we also have our own plans and they eventually fail to remedy what really needs fixing. And, worse, they often don’t jive with God’s plan for us or for others.
Sacrificial, Unconditional, Incarnational: A Biblical View of Marriage
I recently began a wedding sermon addressing the couple, “Your marriage is going to be tough! It’s going to be filled with conflict and suffering and sorrow and pain. And, if you do it right, you’ll eventually get to watch each other get old, have more pain, carry more grief and watch each other move toward death.”
America and its Faith Infused Freedoms for ALL
Tune in to The Liberty Action Alert as Timothy Head and I explore the divine roots of American freedom and its modern-day implications.
FREEDOM IN CHRIST – THE FOUNDATION OF ALL FREEDOMS!
Throughout the past several years, fear has been “ramped up” in our culture -- fear of disease, fear of disasters, fear of our fellow citizens, and even the fear of the unknown. Sadly, amidst all of these fears, the government continues to stifle the church and its ability to minister to its members and to its community.
Religious Liberty Is Vital, but It Is not Enough!
In 2021, the July 4 holiday fell on Sunday. You could hear the groans because that meant less time off, right? This year it falls on Thursday, so people surely will take the LONG weekend off. And isn’t that the point? Vacation, refreshment, leisure? Well, yes and no. The point of the holiday isn’t merely to take time off.
July: Prayer Partner Thursday
Prayer Partner Thursday provides a month-long prayer emphasis in one of the four Lutheran Center for Religious Liberty areas of emphasis: Religious Liberty, Sanctity of Life, Educational Freedom, and Marriage as an Institution (family).
Title IX, DEI, Education, and the Real War on Women and Girls
Explore the challenges and opportunities of new Title IX rules and the secular war on women with Dr. Seltz and Caroline Moore on this week's Liberty Action Alert.
BENEVOLENCED BENEVOLENCE - LIVING THE LIFE OF FAITH GENEROUSLY!
The Christian life was meant to be lived “in faith toward [God] and in fervent love toward one another,” and to do so generously. Paul reminds the Corinthians that such a way of life begins with the awesome realization that God loved us generously by sending His Son to die for us so that we might live. God’s merciful and gracious benevolence motivates, empowers, and directs the lives of believers to “benevolence” others as a reflection of His love. In this passage St. Paul challenges believers to look to the needs of others as an opportunity to put their faith in God into action.
What Must the Angels Think?
The Rev. Dr. Peter Scaer notes that even the angels weep at what they see happening among us today but reminds us that: “The right side of history talk has been exposed as nonsense, a way to demoralize those who know or should know better. Much better to be on the side of the angels, God’s angels, who love us as he does.”
The Court rightly rules that DEI discrimination is wrong in America

REAL PEACE AMIDST THE STORM!
God’s peace to you amidst whatever “storm” you are facing today.
I think that’s an appropriate greeting for Christians because of the many issues we are encountering in our lives. There are the typical troubles of health and well-being that all of us face, that’s for sure. But there is also an especially vitriolic feeling in America toward anyone or anything that asserts God’s moral limitations to our libertine attitudes of absolute freedom. We know how to protest, but we don’t seem to know how to be virtuous anymore, right? And the attacks on those who even remotely hint at such moral truths are getting more and more noxious by the day.
July Bulletin Insert

Ideas Have Consequences: Why Bad Ideas Can Bring Real Devastation
What would happen if "we strive to think as the Bible teaches 'to think about others more highly than ourselves' and seek to serve others with that wisdom and strength"? The Rev. Dr. Gregory Seltz believes delightful consequences may occur!

The Positives and Negatives of Bill 6090, the Anti-Semitism Bill in Congress
Tune in to The Liberty Action Alert to hear Dr. Seltz and Zachary Mettler discuss the critical concerns surrounding the Anti-Semitism Bill in Congress.
A BRIDGED GAP CAN STAND IN THE GAP!
In Washington, D.C., it is truly miraculous when people can bridge the gap between the great divides in our culture without demeaning what is precious to us in the process. In fact, it’s virtually impossible today. Why? Because in life in general, people more and more treat others as enemies to be vanquished, rather than people to be loved and served. And politics, at its core, is ultimately not about service, but power. Oh, people speak about a “benevolent” government, but there is no such thing. When you forcibly tax people, garnish wages, and demand obedience, and then punish those who do not do as the law requires, that’s about power, not benevolence (no matter how much of other people’s money one gives away). When you can force people to do what you demand that they do, that’s about power.
The Boy Scouts and Riley Gaines
Why is it that the "radicals sure know how to tear down, but, alas, they are not builders"? The Rev. Dr. Peter Scaer has a few ideas.
