| About Xαρις και Eιρηνη |
| Xαρις και Eιρηνη is a blog written from the perspective of a Lutheran student studying for the pastoral ministry. It's title means Grace and Peace, a common greeting in St. Paul's letters and I think, a two-word summary of what Jesus Christ has won for me. |
| Ephesians 2:4-5 |
| Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. |
| Romans 5:1-3 |
| Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. |
| Colossians 4:5-6 |
| Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. |
| Apology of the Augsburg Confession, Art.XV, 21 |
| The Fathers had these reasons for maintaining the rites, and for these reasons we also judge it to be right that traditions [good customs] be maintained. And we [Lutherans] are greatly surprised that our adversaries, contrary to the entire Scriptures of the Apostles, contrary to the Old and New Testaments contend for another design of traditions, namely, that they may merit the remission of sins, grace, or justification. |

| Chi Rho - 2008 WELS Directory |
In a moment of beaming pride, I privately thanked the Lord last Thursday when I walked into the campus bookstore and saw the 2008 synod directory. Sola Dei gloria, of course, in all things. But every once in a while, it does a person good to see that his work is approved of and/or appreciated. What am I talking about? Well, it seems that a graphic I made (back when I was an underclassman) and submitted to the WELS website has become the cover of this year's directory. Cool, eh?

Kathleen and I are also proud of you! That is so cool! Did anyone tell you that it was going to be used or you really just discovered it!?! That's crazy! Good work! Good graphic too!

Thanks! I was kind of proud too. No, nobody told me it was going to be used, but as it turns out I am credited on the inside cover. I don't own the graphic, because I signed it over to the WELS Clipart site for free use.
