- By Pastor Ed Borchardt, Zion Lutheran Church, HardwickFebruary 26, 2025Ever feel as if you missed out on something? You are hungry for that brownie, but the kids ate the last ones. You missed getting through the green stoplight by that much and now have to wait for the train, which is in slow motion. The person in front of you won the store giveaway. Missed it by that much. The sale ended the day before. Really? Ever since you were born a day late or a day early?…
- By Pastor Josh Hayden, Living Rock Church, LuverneFebruary 19, 2025Recently I have been reading a book called “Screwtape Letters” by C.S. Lewis. The premise of the book is about a superior demon named Screwtape who is writing letters to a demon-in-training named Wormwood. The goal of these letters is to help Wormwood to destroy his “subject,” who is a Christian. The book was written in 1940 and is still very applicable today. However, while I will never be able…

- By Pastor Bob Junak, Rock River Community Church, LuverneFebruary 12, 2025How often do you leave the comfort of your home and head out into the community? Oh, I don’t know, maybe to the grocery store, the gas station, or a walk around the Luverne Loop and hopefully to church. I’d guess most of us find ourselves going to at least one of those places. As for me, I’m looking a bit more into the future for that amazing day when I leave this world and go to a much better…

- By Pastor Andrew Palmquist, Bethany Lutheran Church, LuverneFebruary 05, 2025“Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God. The Lord is one! Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. These words that I am commanding you today are to be on your heart. Teach them diligently to your children.” Deuteronomy 6:4-7 These powerful words are part of the “Shema,” a prayer that is spoken daily in Jewish tradition. Those verses were some of…

- By Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, St. John Lutheran Church, LuverneJanuary 29, 2025Imagine a book that is at once beautifully bound and yet deadly to hold? Such a book would be quite the epitome and symbol of deadly knowledge, wouldn’t it? Like a cursed object one might encounter in a fantasy novel. But this isn’t fiction, it’s real and there isn’t only one. Thousands of such books, bound with vibrant green covers, were produced in the 19th century. Their unique and tantalizing…

- By Pastor Sarah Zender, Grace Lutheran Church, LuverneJanuary 22, 2025This week I’ve been thinking a lot about words that, when used as a noun, should probably be used as a verb. The first definition of love, for example, is “an intense feeling of deep affection.” That is a noun. It is also used as a verb, but it reflects the moment of feeling that sense of deep affection. This is a great word to have in our vocabulary tool kit. A Wheel of Emotion is a tool used…

- By Pastor Praveen Muthsuamy, Hills United Reformed ChurchJanuary 15, 2025You may have come across the idiom, “All roads lead to Rome.” It means that there are many ways to achieve the same goal or result. It suggests that no matter which path you choose, you will eventually reach your desired outcome. This saying may be true for some areas of life. For example, if someone wants to lose weight, they can try the vegan diet, Keto diet, Paleo diet, carnivore diet, and…

- By Rev. Dr. Steven Voris, First Presbyterian Church, LuverneJanuary 08, 2025We celebrated the passing of another year on the Gregorian calendar last week, which has been the standard measure for recording the passage of time since 1582. The Gregorian calendar was an improvement over the Julian calendar which went into effect in the Roman Empire on January 1, 45 BCE. If the goal of a calendar is to keep the solstice and equinox dates the same, so that a year is…

- By Pastor Walt Moser, First Baptist Church, LuverneDecember 30, 2024There is reason to believe that much Bible reading and study in recent years has brought little spiritual benefit to many who engage in it. God's gifts can be misused, and His blessings abused. The evidence of this is seen in the results. Even those without a genuine faith may study the Bible with the same enthusiasm they might have for science or literature. When this happens, their knowledge…
