While in our dogmatics lectures my goal is to ground you in every doctrine and make you certain of them, I have designed these Friday evening lectures to make you truly practical theologians. I wish to talk the Christian doctrine into your very heart, enabling you to come forward as living witnesses with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power. I do not want you to be standing in your pulpits like lifeless statues, but to speak with confidence and cheerful courage, offering help where help is needed.
C.F.W. Walther, Law and Gospel, p. 9; First Evening Lecture, Sept. 12, 1884.

If I let go of this pulpit there is a good chance it will fly away!
Not as long as I am in the congregation!
