declaring your splendor all day long. Psalm 71:8
Open my lips, Lord,
And my mouth will declare Your praise. Psalm 51:15

As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

Confession – What do you believe according to these words?*
I believe that when the called ministers of Christ deal with us by His divine command, in particular when they exclude openly unrepentant sinners from the Christian congregation and absolve those who repent of their sins and want to do better, this is just as valid and certain, even in heaven, as if Christ our dear Lord dealt with us Himself.
For the week of May 13-19
Confession – What is the Sacrament of the Altar?
It is the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ under the bread and wine, instituted by Christ Himself for us Christians to eat and to drink.
