Much of the developed materials and programs are not so much a 'what' that the church is suppose to do but rather, answering the question of 'how' the church can be a light that reaches the darkened places, whether for our own spiritual needs or to reach the broader community. The materials and programs could also be another way of using what our Lord has given (intelligence and creativity) us by way of communicating the truth in different ways so more people have opportunity to receive the Good News of Jesus for their salvation. As Lutherans our spiritual nourishment is so good sometimes that we become fattened rather than using at as the fuel it is designed to be to serve and reach out to others.
