A Reader:
In one of your books you included the quote from Luther that unbelief is the foundational sin:
"Therefore it follows that unbelief is the right and true sin; other sins flow out of unbelief and are the fruit from this root".
I think this lack of trust in God is the reason we are where we are today (as a Church and a country).
Thanks and have a Happy Reformation Day.

GJ - Thank you, reader.

Sadly, most Lutheran pastors do not believe - or know this passage:
John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you.
8 And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on Me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
Romans 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on Him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
