- By Pastor Andrew Palmquist, Bethany Lutheran Church, LuverneNovember 09, 2021“The lake (Superior), it is said, never gives up her dead … when the gales of November come early.” And so goes the story of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” This is probably the most recognized ship disaster of the Great Lakes, due in large part to Gordon Lightfoot’s 1975 ballad of the same name. Forty-six years ago, on Nov. 10, the Edmund Fitzgerald — with a crew of 29 — sank into the…
- By Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, St. John Lutheran Church, LuverneNovember 02, 2021Ryan Arnold of Denver, Colorado, knew what was important to him. He also knew the risks. In fact, there were many risks to consider, but the decision he made demonstrated that he had his priorities straight: the life of his brother was worth risking it all. Before the surgery, where Ryan planned to give his brother Chad part of his liver, they had one last embrace. Sadly, this would be the last…

- By Pastor Walt Moser, First Baptist Church, LuverneOctober 26, 2021“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Romans 8:28 (NLT) (Adapted from C.H. Spurgeon’s sermon preached in 1857.) All things work together for the Christian’s eternal and spiritual good. And yet I must say here that sometimes all things work together for the Christian’s temporal good. You…

- By Pastor Bob Junak, Rock River Community Church, LuverneOctober 19, 2021A few years ago, our daughter wanted to purchase a car we advised against. “But Dad, it’s a Lexus, and it has new tires,” she said. She did purchase the car and had nothing but problems with it, of course, except for the tires. The vehicle progressively got worse, and she started looking for a new car. My wife would send her pictures of affordable vehicles, and it drove her crazy because she was…

- By Pastor Jason Cunningham, First Presbyterian Church, LuverneOctober 12, 2021(Read Lamentations 3:19-26.) “Patience is a virtue” is a familiar cliché that may be easier said than done, especially during times of illness, uncertainty or suffering. Life’s circumstances are unpredictable. There are good times and not so good times. For human beings, suffering is inevitable. During those difficult and challenging moments, it is vital to remember that our circumstances are…

- By Pastor Jeremy Wiersema, Reformed Church of SteenOctober 05, 2021I think we can all agree that we are living in some difficult times. Whether we are facing personal tragedy or national crisis, difficult times are painful to live through. So how do we cope through difficult times? I can’t give us an easy-to-remember formula or a twelve-step program for coping with difficult times, but I can give us a biblical example of someone living in extremely difficult…

- By Pastor Mike Geiger, Cross and the Crown Lutheran Church, Georgetown, TexasSeptember 07, 2021(Based on a book by Tim Keller titled, “Counterfeit Gods.”) The three definitions of the word “moral” from Merriam Webster Dictionary are interesting: 1) concerning or relating to what is right and wrong in human behavior. 2) based on what you think is right and good. 3) considered right and good by most people; agreeing with a standard of right behavior. Agreeing on what is “moral” is…

- By Pastor Jason Cunningham, First Presbyterian Church, LuverneAugust 31, 2021Paul’s First Letter to the Thessalonians ends with a section often known as “Final Instructions.” This is because the words close out the letter. (I Thessalonians 5:16-24). There are some very familiar, short exhortations contained in this portion of the letter: “Rejoice always … pray continually … give thanks in all circumstances … Do not quench the Spirit.” In the midst of these “instructions”…
