Our Two Natures
February 20, 2012
from Bishop Rindy
Mardi Gras… Carnival… Shrove “Fat” Tuesday… all come so easily. They appeal to our base nature, self-indulgence, no-holds-barred, ego feeding. Wild. Unrestrained. Partying. People seeking to fill our emptiness appear on our TV screens as networks report this “news.” Gordon Gekko, the infamous Wall Street film character, summed up this mentality which comes so easily – “greed is good.” This is not news, novel or new.

Zion Luther Church Pastor, Dan Faust, says, “It’s thrilling! It’s thrilling! Thanks to God that it didn’t destroy the congregation.” Continue reading…

January 23, 2012
from Bishop Rindy
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I want to start off the New Year by expressing my gratitude for you, for the partnership we share in the Gospel, and for your prayers. Most everywhere I go, people tell me that they pray for the work of our synod. This is greatly appreciated more than you know. Also, I want to thank you for your continued financial support of all of our shared ministries in a less than ideal year, especially for our farming communities. Continue reading…
