MIGHTY FORTRESS 2012 - DAILY DEVOCIONAL
Sunflower seeds serve as food for the birds, edible vegetable oil and biodiesel fuel can be extracted from it. Its leaves inhibit the appearance of harmful weeds surrounding it. The most notable characteristic of its flower, is that it `looks´ constantly towards the sun. That is why it also became an Easter symbol.
Just as the sunflower, the 366 meditations in Castelo Forte 2012 have their look toward the star- King, Jesus Christ, and they want to orient you, so that you can also look to it and follow the path of truth and of life, without letting yourself be absorbed by the harmful weeds that surround us.
You may buy your devotional in one of our bookstores, Sinodal or Concordia (see box on right hand).
(Only in Portuguese).

 Volume 11 - Martin Luther
Selected Works
Volume 11 of the collection "Martin Luther—Selected Works" contains the commentaries to John 14-16 and I John.
The commentary to John 14-16 has as its goals to bring the biblical message to the concrete situation of the congregation, illuminate awareness, console and build them. The author praises the evangelist because he, more than other evangelists, deals with how the person can, in fact, encounter God and embrace Him, subsist in His presence and be certain of His grace, and in this, base his heart and resist all kinds of temptation. Beyond being a work destined to the academic world, it is, above all, a writing for the faith life.
The introduction to the First Epistle of John came in a difficult moment for the Reformation movement. Adversaries were against doctrines preached by the Reformation. Luther stands against adversary theologians and other movements, among them, enthusiasts, fanatic spiritualists that claimed a direct access to God without the intermediation of the Word and the sacraments, and the cerintists that denied the incarnation and preached salvation through works. I John is a doctrinal epistle without, however, forgetting, at any moment, the pastoral poimenical aspect.
