As Lutherans we seem to have had and still have a lot to say.
In our current climate some of this written material is very helpful, some not so helpful.
Recently when I considered this I realised that the material I am finding more helpful in engaging others is material that have clear references to scripture, and the material I am often questioning or is not so helpful in engaging with others is where there are few scripture references or the references aren't that clear or well explained.
Why?
Put simply church material without clear scripture references is seen as nothing more than personal opinion by others for a particular place and time.
And as a church that says we live by God's Word surely, what we say should be supported by God's Word.....
