Next Sunday’s Lutheran Hour radio program is "Fools" based on Luke 12:19-21, with speaker Rev. Dr. Ken Klaus. Why would God call anyone a fool? God's Word gives us the answer: "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.'"

 

Lutherans For Life "The Good News of a crucified and living Savior does not trivialize human struggles—the struggles of women, of problem pregnancies, of difficult situations. It speaks to them! The Good News defeated death and brings real love and compassion and neighborliness to bear in dealing with human struggles in very personal and practical ways. Life, not death, is our source of help and hope." Rev. Dr. James I .Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life
