Reflecting on Psalm 97, Rodney Anderson ’74 M.Div. asks, “But how can we see rejoicing and gladness, righteousness and justice, through the clouds and darkness of war’s explosions?” Read today’s God Pause.

We gather in the Chapel of the Incarnation and online. Our guest preacher is Javen Swanson, associate pastor of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church.

Our last “Why Jesus” talk for this spring will be at noon this Wednesday, May 25, in OCC 10 (basement classroom). Our speaker will be Randy Kyle, chief human resources officer.

A community meal will be offered that day, so you are invited to get your lunch and then come downstairs to hear Randy offer his testimony.

“Why Jesus” is a series of talks designed to help build community here at Luther and to model the practice of Christian testimony. Speakers focus on two questions: “Why am I a Christian?” And “What difference does Jesus make in my life?”
