The Faith
"Gentlemen, this is a football." With these words Coach Lombardi takes his players back to basics. "Dearly beloved of the Lord, this is the Catechism." With these words our pastor brings us back to basics.
I don't remember exactly when it happened, but I wasn't impressed with an answer I gave to someone who asked me about the faith. From my less than stellar response and most recently feeling that I was growing dull in the faith, I decided that I need to get back to basics. What better place to start than the Lutheran Catechism.
Every morning after my study of a portion of Genesis - one that has seemed to take a very long time - I dive into the study of our church's doctrine. Currently I'm in the commandments and between them there is usually a lesson on the Divine Service as well.
When you can't push the ball past the goal line, your line is breaking down, and you can't make a tackle, get back to basics.
