Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

Advent Links


Here are some interesting blog posts to check out during this season of Advent:

Last year, The House for All Sinners and Saints made a beautiful icon out of store ads for Christmas shopping. Check it out in the archives of Sarcastic Lutheran:

A beautiful blog by Jan Richardson, The Advent Door. I return to this nearly every day to help keep me grounded during the days of Advent.

A blogging friend of mine from seminary linked to this post from One Hand Clapping, which is quite thought provoking.

A post on Sustainable Holidays from The Non-Consumer Advocate. This blog is one of my favorites, because it helps me remember that my primary identity is NOT as consumer (despite what the world around me might say).

A post with haunting art, from faith as a way of life, the blog of Chris Schare, Luther Seminary professor (and one time member of CtK!!)

A podcast from Common Good Radio on faithful parenting amidst the pressures of the holiday season.

Enjoy!
