“My conscience is captive to the Word of God. Thus I cannot and will not recant, because acting against one’s conscience is neither safe nor sound. Here I stand; I can do no other. God help me.” Martin Luther
Mission Statement of 15thirty Ministries LLC
At 15thirty Ministries LLC, our mission is to provide accessible resources for individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of Holy Scripture, with a focus on the teachings of Martin Luther and other great reformers. Grounded in the Lutheran Confession of Faith, presented at the Diet of Augsburg in 1530, we uphold the belief that the Bible is entirely true and that salvation is a gift of God’s grace through faith alone.
We strive to make Luther’s Small Catechism, the Unaltered Augsburg Confession and the confessional writings of the Book of Concord central tools in exploring core Christian doctrines such as the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and the sacraments. Our content is created from a Lutheran perspective but is intended for people of all denominations, faiths, and even those who are atheists or agnostics.
Our goal is to share the message that no one can earn God’s love or favor on their own; it is through God’s grace, by the work of the Holy Spirit, that we are saved. By promoting the study of the confessional writings of the Book of Concord we aim to make the teachings of Scripture clear, relevant, and meaningful for all.
