God Said to His Beloved Son (MHLS Choristers)
Merry Christmas from Mount Hope Lutheran School!
Lord Jesus Christ, with Us Abide (MHLS Chorale)
“A psalm of thanksgiving for God’s particular grace that there has at all times been a place where God’s Word can be rightly preached, taught, and learned.”
The World Can’t Tell Time
Advent is a wakeful, watchful season as we look for Christ and cling to His promise, “Yes, I am coming quickly” (Rev. 22:20).
Non Moriar, Sed Vivam
“I shall not die, but I shall live, and declare the works of the Lord.”
Is Beauty Worth It?
So is it worth it to make something beautiful? Well, we can ask: Do we have something to honor? Do we have something to confess? Is this object redeemed by Christ and therefore worthy of great care?
Why Christians Should Study Math
When studied by Christians who live in the Word and Sacraments, math gives us a keen sense that the world is more beautiful and ordered than we could ever hope to grasp in this life.
The Progress of Man
The only true progress for which we can hope is the progress wrought by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God as we live lives of repentance and faith.
Eternity in Man’s Heart
Each child has been known by God even before birth, and a child will not simply cease to exist when death comes—a child has an eternal soul, which will either be saved or damned eternally.
Listening to Joy
Certainly, many pieces of music merit our delight and admiration. But when seeking joy, let us welcome no one less than Christ into the score. For on that day when we stand in joy everlasting, we will be singing of no one but Him.
