Thank you President Harrison. This timely message reflects what I have espoused for many years to those who (middle of the West Texas Bible Belt), "are Lutherans Christian?" The Confessions set a standard of what "real" Lutherans are. It is unmistakable in its affirmations and rejections. I would commend all Lutheran churches to study it congregation-wide, at least every three years. Blessings to you in the tough calling God has placed on your life. We all benefit from your faithfulness.
