| 201011 | Wake up calls are very helpful — actually necessary in life. No, I'm not talking about the wake-up calls you schedule to come into your hotel room ringing you into consciousness in a timely manner. . .More | Jaynan Clark |
| 201012 | Children are taught to believe. It does not happen by accident. It needs to be the primary concern of faithful parents, grandparents, family members, and Christian friends. . . More | Tom Walker |
| 201011 | It appears that the ELCA is at it again. Not satisfied with micromanaging their congregant's morals through "adjusting" the meaning of Scripture, now they are moving into agriculture. "Agriculture?" . . .More | Jerry Youngquist |
| 201009 | The Great Rescue Endures — On April 14, 1912, shortly before midnight, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg, sinking early on April 15, 2 hours and 40 minutes later. The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,517 of the 2,223 people on board. It was a tragedy of epic proportions. And yet the tragedy was only made worse by the knowledge that many of these deaths could have been averted… | Pr. Peter Churness |

While "this too shall pass" can be a comfort, and contemporary comments like "so be it" and "whatever" can sometimes persuade you to just "let it go," I've learned the hard way in life that letting the big things go is never a good choice. | Pr. Jaynan Clark |
| 201008 | New Sunday Schoolhouse Series from Sola Publishing. With all the changes taking place in the larger church, people have been looking for options in education materials. Since Sola Publishing exists to serve the specific needs of LCMC, WordAlone, Lutheran CORE, and NALC - I've been asked to put a priority on producing a basic Sunday School series for churches to begin using this Fall. | Pr.

More. | Pr. Warren Baker |
| 201006 | For over a decade, WordAlone has assumed the role of the loyal opposition in relationship to the ELCA. We clearly voiced opposition to prevailing trends, but always with the intention of getting the ELCA back on a faithful track with a future. However . . . More. | ELCT Press Release |
| 201006 | Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania: The following press release from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania clearly states the reasons that recent ELCA advocacy for same-sex unions is both false teaching and a serious threat to the authority of scripture. | |
| 201006 | I admit that something just said “Enough already!” as I read Mark Hanson’s (Presiding Bishop of the ELCA) release regarding the Gaza strip. This came only days after news that the Tanzanian, Ethiopian and Chinese church leaders would be engaging in ongoing, private conversation with him regarding their concerns with the ELCA’s actions last August at the churchwide assembly.. . .
