Stumbled across some grave news for our American Lutheran Brothers and Sisters. I won’t go into any detail as I don’t want to draw attention to it. But one of /ourguys/ was doxed and an actual ordained Lutheran Pastor appears to be applauding it.
There are two lessons here:
The first is to remember that even at church you cannot relax. Be aware of your surroundings and whether the church is filming/streaming the congregation.
The second is rather poignant as I preached on it today. When the world and the devil attack you know that you’re on the right path. Faith in Christ may not win you many friends but it will win you eternal life. Remember that blessed are you when you are persecuted for righteousness’ sake.
Be aware of who can be trusted in your congregation and support them. Do not be afraid to speak up but also do not be reckless.
“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” (Matthew 10:16)
