Greetings!
As I write this, the rains have started here in Fairfax County. We are awaiting what some may call the "perfect storm" weather-wise.
Certainly of greatest importance the next few days is staying safe and dry, if possible. I pray that no harm comes to any of you, and that you are well-prepared to ride this storm out.
In the life of the church, Lutherans are observing the 16th century Reformation, brought on by questioning and inquiry by Martin Luther, the reluctant founder of our denomination. He didn't intend to start something new--only to reform the church's understanding of God's unwavering love. Indeed, that love is at the heart of the good news of Jesus Christ. By grace alone we have been saved--now and for all eternity!
The apostle Paul writes in the 8th chapter of Romans that nothing "...will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." That includes storms, wars, testy roommates, crabby adults, and demanding professors--you get the idea.
Hope to see some of you later this week on All Saints Day for our Thursday evening Bible study--7:30 pm in JC 239H, the campus ministry office. Join us for the first time, if you like, or continue with us on our study of the book of Exodus.
God's blessings,
Pastor Terry
