The following was received from Pastor Ludwig who received the news of the biopsy report concerning his brother, Phil.
The doctor explained to my brother Phil and wife, that the biopsy of the liver revealed a massive cancer. My brother elected not to have chemo therapy; since the doctor told him that he had from 2 to 6 weeks to live. If he made it till the day before Christmas Eve, he would be 75 years old, but that is not likely. It is tough to lose another brother (the third this year) but who would choose that they stay on this earth and suffer. I know that they are Christians, and that makes it much easier to bear...Would you include my brother's family in you prayers? Thanks, Pastor Dick

I want each of you to take plenty of time to think it over, and make up your own mind what you will give. That will protect you against sob stories and arm-twisting. God loves it when the giver delights in the giving."

You'll get his help, and won't be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who 'worry their prayers' are like wind-whipped waves. Don't think you're going to get anything from the Master that way, adrift at sea, keeping all your options open."

A christian sermon
A Christian sermon "A Christian sermon over the body and at the funeral of the venerable Dr. Martin Luther,"
A prayer by Martin Luther
O Father, it is indeed true that no one can be strong by His own power. Who can stand before Your might if You do not strengthen and comfort us Yourself? Therefore, dear Father, embrace us, accomplish Your will in us, that we may be Your kingdom to Your praise and glory. Strengthen us in this life with Your holy Word. Give us our daily bread. Establish in our hearts Your dear Son Jesus Christ who is the true brad of heaven. Sustained by Him, may be gladly bear ad suffer the breaking and dying of our own will and the fulfillment of Your will. Give grace to all Christendom. Send us educated pastors and preachers who will not give us the dregs and chaff of foolish fables, but who will teach us Your holy Gospel and lead us to Jesus Christ. Amen.
