Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

The only good Christ is a dead Christ. The only good Christian is a dead Christian. Sadly, I don't think you will hear that from many pulpits or in many churches these days. It sounds better to say that to be a good Christian is to be a person who does a lot of good things. However, those things are defined by society at the moment. And so the Christian life is one of constant dying and rising. Dying to sin, dying to ourselves, and rising with Christ.
