A Reception To Remember
Contributed on Oct 6, 2023
It is the season of weddings for many couples and families. Jesus used the story of a wedding reception to remind us that regardless of the place or people, weddings are costly … in more ways than money. He invites us to one that we do not want to miss.

Last Sunday I substituted at Fairlawn Lutheran for Pastor Gau because his son was married on Saturday, and today I am with you as Pastor Tritten celebrates marriage for his son.

From Disunity To Unity
Contributed on Aug 9, 2023
How good if all fighting – disagreements, squabbles, arguments, conflicts and worse – ended because we understood the cost and consequences!
“If your brother or sister sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If you are listened to, you have regained that one. … Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two ...read more
