Has the Lutheran Church Lost Her Love for Christ?

Has the Church remained faithful—or has she grown cold?

In this episode of Christendom and the World, we take a hard look at Christ's warning to the church in Ephesus: "You have abandoned the love you had at first." What does it mean to lose our "first love"? And is this happening within the Lutheran Church today?

We explore how familiarity with God's Word can lead to spiritual complacency, why the doctrine of justification must remain central, and how the neglect of law and gospel preaching reveals a deeper issue of the heart. This episode calls both pastors and laity to examine themselves, repent, and return to the Gospel—the true source of our life and love.

Pastor Andrew Preus also answers questions submitted by listeners in the comments—if you have a question for a future episode, feel free to send it to [email protected].

Are we still captivated by Christ crucified… or have we begun to treat His Word as ordinary?
