- By Martha Fick, Good Samaritan – Mission EffectivenessJune 29, 2015“And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of these My brothers and sisters, you did it to Me.’” Matthew 25:40 We were watching swans at a city park. There were three flawless birds, so beautiful and perfect and white that it was almost hard to believe that they were real. The fourth could have been a young swan or another kind of fowl. Far from being attractive,…

- By Ron Nichols, pastor, Grace Lutheran Church, LuverneJune 22, 2015The phrase “get ’er done” is one we’ve heard often over the last few years. This phrase has gained popularity over the years by actor Daniel Lawrence “Larry” Whitney, better known as “The Cable Guy.” You can buy clothing and baseball caps sporting this phrase. Whitney has even written a book by the same title. If I’m right, Larry the Cable Guy uses this phrase as motivation to simply go about the…

- By Gary Klatt, pastor, St. John Lutheran Church, LuverneJune 08, 2015These can be some challenging times for fathers. How important and necessary are we in the “modern” family? There are numerous reports from many of the social sciences that reveal the breakdown of our families. One of the leading causes is the failure of fathers to carry out their responsibilities to their families. Of this we must all take responsibility and repent; turn from our broken ways and…

- By Dick Lauger, pastor, First Baptist Church, LuverneJune 01, 2015Each week our financial secretary files a report on Sunday’s offering. One part is a deposit slip: check, cash, coin. As might be expected, the check amount is the largest, followed by the cash and then coin. I am intrigued by that last amount, “coin.” Usually it amounts to a few dollars, like $4.79. Who puts coins into the offering plate? I suppose the coins mostly come from kids. Dad and Mom…

- By Martha Fick, Good Samaritan – Mission EffectivenessMay 25, 2015"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." Matthew 18:20 ESV Last Saturday evening I was sitting in our screen tent, soaking in the surroundings of our campsite, reading a faith-based magazine. I love the sounds of the lake —boaters, waves lapping against the shore, a fish or two jumping out of the water. Fun also are the sounds of people. Kids playing,…

- By Dick Lauger, pastor, First Baptist Church, LuverneMay 18, 2015A farmer invests huge amounts of money, time, energy and thought to planting. He must get his equipment in good repair, making numerous trips for parts or purchasing updated machinery. He must get his soil in proper condition — tilling corn stalks, applying fertilizer, and perhaps putting in tile for better drainage. He must purchase sacks of seed and spend hours planting, paying attention to…

- By Martha Fick, Good Samaritan – Mission EffectivenessMay 11, 2015“Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” (Matthew 7:3 ESV) Young Sven went to study at the university and was living in a dorm with other students. After he’d been there a month, his mother came to visit him. “How do you get along with de other students, Young Sven?” she asked. “Mother,” he replied, “dey are strange people. De…
