Becoming Lutheran

Clothed in skin

The name of Eve

Baptism in the garden

Curse of the man

Beginning with our baptism, we daily practice the art of dying to self. Today, the pastor or priest will say to us, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” To which we may well respond, “I do that every day.” We remember that we, mortal creatures, beset by sin, weak and failing and falling apart, will one day join those innumerable others who have gone before us, whose bodies now lie beneath the soil. Indeed, to dust we shall return. Let us ever live, in repentance and faith, knowing that one day, to dust we shall return

Satan is defeated

The snake that fell out of a tree

Fatherly love

Adam, the spin doctor

Who told you you're naked?
