Lutheran Witness: March 2011

Inevitably, we succumb to the lies, choosing to believe that the devil is right and God is wrong. But because the Law of God is written on our hearts, we know the truth. We know the shame of our sin, of being caught by our spouses, of lying to our employers and of embarrassing our children.

That’s why this issue of The Lutheran Witness may be difficult to read: Exploring the topic of sin hits close to home.
