Craig Johnson

What does it mean to be Lutheran? Explore one person’s journey of faith through Lutheran theology, Martin Luther and the Reformation, and experiences in Germany and Tanzania. Discover the Lutheran understanding of grace, faith, forgiveness, and the calling to serve others. A personal reflection on why Lutheran faith remains a living and meaningful expression of following Jesus Christ.

“Do You Love Me?” reminds us that following Jesus is more than words. Like Peter, we are called to put faith into action by serving others, welcoming newcomers, sharing our gifts, and caring for those in need. This reflection encourages the Lord of Life community to roll up our sleeves, discover ways to serve, and invite others to experience the love of Christ.

As election season begins, Craig Johnson reflects on the Christian's highest calling. Drawing on Philippians 3:20 and the Lord's Prayer, he encourages believers to vote prayerfully, extend grace to those with differing views, and remember that our ultimate citizenship is in heaven. No matter the election outcome, our hope remains in Jesus Christ and His unchanging promises.
