- 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.

- 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.

- 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 Josh Enderson, Grace Lutheran Church, LuverneMay 04, 2015"[Christ] has abolished the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace, and might reconcile both groups to God in one body through the cross.” Ephesians 2:15-16 Joseph Sittler, a Lutheran theologian, once told this story about the symbol of the cross. Sittler was at a conference, which was being held at a…
