*RESOURCES:*
*Issues, Etc.*
*For the week of June 16*
*CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW SERIES… *What is truth? What is a human being? What should we value? What is beauty? What is the source for morality? You’ll find answers to these questions in a seven-part Issues, Etc. series based on a new resource from Concordia Publishing House, “Prepared with a Reason.” Issues, Etc. is a radio talk show and podcast produced by Lutheran Public Radio in Collinsville, IL and hosted by LCMS Pastor Todd Wilken. You can listen on-demand at issuesetc.org/preparedwithareason or with a podcast provider. Listen Here
*ISSUES, ETC. JOURNAL* Is good theology like a pendulum or a plumb line? Does good theology react to error by swinging in the opposite direction or by returning to and remaining on the true line of God’s Word? In this edition of the *Issues, Etc. Journal*, I recount my years spent reacting to the errors of evangelicalism rather than returning to the plumb line of God’s Word.
Also in this edition, the chief administrative officer of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, Felix Loc, tells his story of coming to confessional Lutheranism from Catholicism through evangelicalism and Reformed theology. His is a journey from reliance on sincerity and knowledge to a reliance on Jesus Christ.
