honestly, how can i be proud right now
to tell you the truth, i ain't been sleeping too well The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark ! The plan was to talk about faith for Martin Luther; but on a week like this it’s better to attend to the distinguishing mark of Luther’s career, his Theology of the Cross; because it’s all cross this sabbath. And for us today, for those who claim the tradition of Luther, it hits close to home. Two of the people murdered, studied at one of the ELCA seminaries; and the murderer, Dylann Roof, was a member of an ELCA congregation… We cannot sit back and pretend this doesn’t affect us. On a week like this, it isn’t hard to imagine how the disciples must have felt, is it? Nine people killed during a Bible study in their church this week, because, as the terrorist said, “I have to do it. You’re raping our women and taking over our country. You have to go.” In other words, he hated these people because on their race… Apparently he wanted survivors left too, so so...
