Conference on Christianity and Culture, 2009
Conference Theme:
“Why I Am a Lutheran – The Word, the Spirit, and
the Sacraments”
St. Paul Lutheran Church (ACLC) in Escondido, CA will hold its 6th annual “Conference on Christianity and Culture” on Saturday, October 10.
Conference Speaker: Rev. Daniel Preus, Director of the Luther Academy
Rev. Preus will give the main morning and afternoon presentations entitled: “Why I Am a Lutheran – The Word, the Spirit, and the Sacraments”
Synopsis: Are we Lutherans because our parents were or are we Lutherans by conviction? No world religion offers the comfort and assurance given in Christianity. And within the Christian denominations no confession reveals and proclaims the pure Gospel as faithfully and powerfully as the Lutheran confession. Therefore, although many of us are grateful to our parents for raising us in the Lutheran Church, we remain Lutheran out of conviction that what the Lutheran Church teaches is the truth. And those who have become Lutheran later in life remain Lutheran and are committed to continuing in the teachings of this church because here the heavenly Father reveals His grace in Christ His Son most clearly and in complete agreement with the Scriptures. Pastor Preus will speak about the way in which God's grace in Christ is conveyed through the teaching of the Lutheran Church on the Sacraments and the work of the Holy Spirit through the Word of God.
