We were reminded of this again when we read that American atheists are planning to initiate a TV channel dedicated to god-lessness.

					<description><![CDATA[The pastoral ministry is, of course, broader in responsibility and scope than preaching. But there is no more important responsibility or privilege that a servant of God has than to preach! It is to be regretted when a pastor becomes so busy or otherwise occupied that he cannot put his best effort into sermon preparation.&#8230;&#160;<a href="https://lutheranspokesman.org/2014/06/01/preaching-to-the-choir-and-others/" rel="bookmark"><span class="screen-reader-text">Preaching To  the Choir — and Others</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Death is the common denominator among all people. Scripture tells us “Through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned…” (Romans 5:12). That is an indisputable, observable truth! There is another indisputable truth of Scripture which, however, is not universally accepted. “For the&#8230;&#160;<a href="https://lutheranspokesman.org/2014/04/01/fear-on-the-other-side/" rel="bookmark"><span class="screen-reader-text">Fear On the Other Side?</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[“…On earth peace…” declared the angels to the shepherds on the night of the Savior’s birth (Luke 2:14).     How shall we understand the expression &#8220;…On earth peace…&#8221;? Does the angelic declaration of peace on Earth refer to some millennial peace during which Jesus allegedly returns to set up His kingdom on Earth? Does it&#8230;&#160;<a href="https://lutheranspokesman.org/2013/12/01/on-earth-peace/" rel="bookmark"><span class="screen-reader-text">“On Earth Peace…”</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified, there was a certain glee among His enemies, for in their minds they had accomplished their goal of being rid of Jesus. But as the Passion history suggests, they could not rid themselves of the nagging thought that perhaps what He said was true. Perhaps He would rise&#8230;&#160;<a href="https://lutheranspokesman.org/2013/10/01/evil-cannot-prevail/" rel="bookmark"><span class="screen-reader-text">EVIL CANNOT PREVAIL!</span></a>]]></description>
