(ESV)\n\n        Jesus warned His disciples: ``Not everyone who says to me,\n   `Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who\n   does the will of my Father who is in heaven.''\n\n        One of the sad facts about American Christianity is the\n   average parishioner does not know what his or her church actually\n   teaches.  To begin, only about thirty percent of Christians\n   regularly attend a service and fewer than that attend a Bible\n   study.  If we expect a piano student to practice thirty minutes a\n   day, or the high school football team to practice during the\n   week, shouldn't we expect Christians to learn more about their\n   faith at least once a week?\n\n        Feel free to ask your pastor about the creation account, is\n   it history or myth?  Ask what Jesus means by the word ``is'' as\n   He instituted the Lord's Supper, or about original sin, the\n   effect of baptism, and the purpose of the Ten Commandments in the\n   life of a Christian.  Ask if the source of doctrine in your\n   church is more than the Word of God, and if the Bible is inerrant\n   and true.\n\n        I am happy to answer these questions for you, to explain the\n   doctrine and practice of the Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod,\n   and the teaching of this congregation.  Please contact me at\n   Trinity Lutheran Church.\n\n        Know this about the Christian Church.  The true message can\n   be stated in the words of Saint Paul as he taught of the will of\n   the Father in heaven.  ``Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you\n   will be saved, you and your household.''&#91;1]\n\n        May our Lord grant us wisdom to know the truth of His Word.\n   Amen.\n\n   ____________________\n\n   1.
