Turn Your Radio On - Volume 6: Radio Devotions - 2025

By Jeffrey Williams

The central message of the Church is salvation by grace through faith for the sake of Christ. We are assured of this salvation through the means of grace, word and sacrament. Therefore the most important article of the Augsburg Confession is Article IV - On Justification. Also they teach that men cannot be justified before God by their own strength, merits, or works, but are freely justified for Christ's sake, through faith, when they believe that they are received into favor, and that their sins are forgiven for Christ's sake, who, by His death, has made satisfaction for our sins. This faith God imputes for righteousness in His sight. Rom. 3 and 4.1 Six years ago, when I accepted the call to serve as pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church (LCMS) in Slayton, Minnesota, I didn't realize how difficult it is to write short, daily devotions. Books, dissertations, papers, sermons, those are all very easy compared to writing a good Law / Gospel summary for 120 seconds or less of broadcast time. The sainted Doctor Donald Deffner used to say, "I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one." How true. If the page count is no object, your language may be a bit more imprecise. This is not to say you are sloppy in your doctrine, by any means, but that you may restate a given idea in several ways. For the 2025 series of devotions I chose, for the most part, to focus on the Gospel reading for the previous Sunday. I started placing the daily devotions on the church website in 2024, including both the manuscript and the recording which I send to KJOE, our local FM radio station. These devotions are also emailed to various people each morning for their enjoyment. I hope you find these daily devotions usable. May our Lord bless you richly with the comfort that comes from knowing your sins are forgiven for the sake of Christ Jesus.
