Celebrate, Remember, Be Encouraged! (Here We Stand!...Praise God!)

The 4th of July. Memorial Day. Labor Day. Birthdays. Anniversaries. These are all days on which we celebrate, remember, and are encouraged. This is what this day –Reformation Sunday – is all about. We celebrate, remember, and are encouraged in who we are as Lutheran Christians. We celebrate the Gospel restored to us; we remember the courage of the one who the Lord used to begin it; and we are encouraged to live it out in our lives today. On this day Lutheran Christians declare, “Here we stand!...Praise God!”
