Personal Statement
Clarity. Confession. Confidence. This is what I see we most need. This is no time for equivocation. God made the world from nothing in six days. Men and women are different. They have unique, distinct vocations. The Scriptures are inspired, without error, and clear. The Book of Concord is true because it agrees with God’s Word. Jesus is Lord. The Holy Spirit works through the Means of Grace. If we abide in these things, the Lord will bless our Synod. Be steadfast and immovable!
