My wife and I joined an LCMS church in September, 2020. I ministered/pastored in other Christian denominations/fellowships for over 45 years. I believe that in the LCMS I have found my home. Matthew Harrison's piece above resonates 100% with my spirit precisely because it resonates 100% with the Word of God. I thank God that there is a place where the Word of God and the Sacrament is honored every Sunday morning and where pastoral leadership is demonstrated consistently in the name of Jesus.
