+ *Issues, Etc. Journal*
The latest *Issues, Etc. Journal* is out!
Was the 16th-century reformer Martin Luther innovating or in error when he added the word “alone” to his translation of Romans 3:28: “For we hold that one is justified by faith alone apart from works of the law”? Pastor Will Weedon answers that question in his article, “Sola Fide—By Faith Alone.”
Also in this edition, Dr. Donna Harrison recounts God’s persistent call out of Catholicism, Scientism, Mysticism and Evangelicalism through His Word into the Lutheran Confession.

*Planned Giving: Creating Your Legacy*
In 2021, the Kansas District launched a partnership with the LCMS Foundation to offer Planned Giving services, to assist LCMS Kansans interested in the Godly management of their assets for the good of their families, and also the Church. Planned Giving is an excellent way to ensure that family and ministries are provided for and supported after an individual has been called by God to his/her heavenly home. Two Kansas District staff members — LCEF DVP Jeffrey Maltz and Business Manager Heather Williams — are trained Planned Giving advocates who promote and educate LCMS Kansans on gift planning. To schedule a presentation, contact Jeffrey Maltz Jeffrey.Maltz@lcef.org, or Heather Williams heather@kslcms.org .
