Prayer isn’t something that just comes naturally. Prayer must be taught. Our Lord Himself demonstrates this when He teaches the disciples how to pray.

By Pastor Todd A. Peperkorn I get this question often. Someone will come up to me and say something along the lines of, “I’m not sure if this is serious enough for you to pray for, but if you wouldn’t mind, would you put so-and-so on the prayer list?” We Lutherans are very stingy about [...]

Psalm Thirty-Two: Hiding from God or hiding in God?

Here is a link to my interview on Psalm 32. In this interview we really talked about the notion of hiding from God versus hiding in God. Adam and Eve hid from God in the garden. They tried to cover up their own sins. But by hiding in God, God then is the one who [...]
