    <title>Announcing: Sola!</title>

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
    &lt;h4&gt;Solo Christo&lt;/h4&gt;
    &lt;h4&gt;Sola Gratia&lt;/h4&gt;
    &lt;h4&gt;Sola Fide&lt;/h4&gt;
    &lt;h4&gt;Sola Scriptura&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
These are the great &amp;#34;solas&amp;#34;of the Reformation. Christ alone.
Grace alone. Faith alone. Scripture alone.
Sola means &amp;#34;alone.&amp;#34;You can&amp;#39;t get much more Lutheran
than the Solas! Nor can you learn more about being a
Lutheran than from the doctrines they confess.
We are saved by Jesus Christ alone - by His holy life and
bitter suffering and death in our place. All that Christ has
accomplished for us has been done by grace alone - without
any merit or worthiness in us. Faith alone receives His gifts
for us with a response of &amp;#34;Amen.&amp;#34; And the Good News of
Jesus and the salvation He has won for us is sure and certain
because it is in Scripture alone.
That very Gospel made Martin Luther,well...Lutheran!
You too!
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Higher Things is pleased to invite you to attend our 2009
Summer Youth Conferences,where we will be rejoicing in the
one, true faith Lutherans have believed, taught, and confessed
since the Reformation nearly 500 years ago.
&lt;/p&gt;
