As wonderful as was his writing on earthly topics, infinitely more important — and great — was his writing on the Gospel. Charlie was a faithful pastor in the Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod (of which I am also a pastor); I found his sermons to be among the best because they always, ALWAYS, pointed to our sin and our Savior from that sin, Jesus Christ. I will miss those sermons most of all.
While it is certainly a loss for us still left in this world, he has received the crown of life from his Lord. Well done, good and faithful servant! Enter the joy of your Master!
Great picture, PJ!
