Around The Word
Around the Word is a Lutheran resource dedicated to providing devotions, Bible studies, blog posts and more which are firmly rooted in biblical truth. As they have said themselves, "We let the Law and the Gospel echo in the full voice with which God speaks it, and we are on the lookout for error because we love to hear the truth, the life-giving voice of Jesus". On their website you can find downloadable weekly devotions as well as many other resources.
