September 29 has long been a day on the church calendar to commemorate St. Michael and All Angels, The Scriptures contain many references to angels, both in the earthly life of Jesus Christ and in the experiences of many believers. In Scripture, we see angels bringing God's messages and helping people in a variety of ways. We also see warnings against worshiping angels or being misled by bad spiritual forces. Thus, Lutherans have tried to maintain a balanced view of angels. We acknowledge and give thanks for their God-given role, but we remember not to exaggerate their importance. Like humans, angels are created beings who are subordinate to Almighty God. Praise be to God for all the ways He works!
