Living the Christian Life in Our Vocations

By Dr. Gene E. Veith
President of the Cranach Institute and Culture Editor of World Magazine

In Luthers day, those who wanted to serve God to the utmost would become monks, nuns, or priests. Doing so meant taking a vow not to marry, own property, or exercise worldly authority. Such things thelaity had to be concerned with, of course, but spiritual people were thought to have a higher calling.

Joy In Service

By Mrs. Beverly A. England
Director of Public Relations for the LWML

When I think back to that very first time I said yes to my pastor's wife, who asked me to become a member of the Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML), and what has happened since that time, I realize I have had some truly remarkable experiences!

Leading a Christian Life

By Dr. and Mrs. Dennis Ross
Dennis has a medical practice. Ann is a mother of four and grandmother of one.

When asked to write an article on living a Christ-centered life, Dennis and Ann Ross were first honored and then perplexed. To them there seemed little that should make their life an example to others, for it is only through the Holy Spirit's power that we are able to submit to God's will for our lives.

By Jayne E. Sheafer
