New Thursday "Lunch Break" Bible Study Topic

I had one grandparent growing up and she spoke English as her second language. It was always difficult to glean the wisdom she was trying to share because of that language barrier. Nonetheless, the wisdom of those with more experience than us is invaluable. In fact, Solomon, the wisest of kings and people, gave us many great wisdoms to govern our life in the Old Testament book aptly named Proverbs. The Thursday noon Bible study will be exploring wisdom, the wisdom of our first few LCMS presidents. The trouble is, just as with my grandmother, they did not write their wisdom down in English. However, our current synod president, Matthew Harrison, set to work to translate these great men and some of their writings in his book, “At Home in the House of My Fathers.” These men handed us wisdom in their native tongue, German, through difficulties such as civil war, world war, an economic crash, and assassinations to name a few as they guided our church body in America. Join us each week at noon on Thursdays to hear how our former leaders gave us their wisdom that they were first given by God.
