At first, I had thought it was merely an Internet rumor, and hoped it had not been true, but it appears that “Issues, Etc.”, one of the most constant and reliable sources of information and discussion for confessional Lutheranism, has been removed from the air, and its staff terminated with no notice and no apparent [...]

One of the most awesome resources provided to the Church through the publication of Lutheran Service Book is the table given in the Daily Lectionary, which is found on page (where is my Pew Edition?) of the Pew Edition.

So many people resolve at the beginning of the year to more deliberately and purposefully begin a study of God’s Word, but how many of them succeed at this task? If you are to believe this post on the ESV Bible Blog, not many—and you stand the greatest chance of success if you manage to last through the month of March and press on through the year. What a blessing, then, that the LSB Daily Lectionary begins with Ash Wednesday, which is normally more than a full month closer to that point of resistance!

It is my hope that Concordia Publishing House will make [...]
