Living, Daring Confidence

"Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times."  --Martin Luther

Over the weekend, over 400 Lutherans from around South Central Wisconsin for the annual synod assembly.  We heard updates about what is going on around the synod and around the church.  We met with colleagues and friends.  We were challenged by Luther Seminary professor Rolf Jacobson to live into the amazing story of God.  Whenever we gather, I am amazed to hear the stories of God on the loose among us--in South Central Wisconsin and in the world.

Thanks to new technologies, the ELCA has been able to put together a video the past several years so that we can see some of the ministries that are happening around our church.  I was moved by the theme of living, daring confidence--the theme for the video and of our assembly.




How have you been moved by a living, daring confidence in God's grace?
