  Not Finished Yet — Authority: 124
  Does God have our future mapped out for us?  Or do we have free will to make choices?  The answer is: Yes.  It doesn’t make logical sense, but the answer is still — yes. With that in mind, does what we do or how we pray make a difference?  Recently, I’ve found some interesting blog posts that touch on ...

• The Beautiful Cross

  
  Taking Thoughts Captive... — Authority: 112
  The crucifixion, which ended with the triumphant cry, “It is finished” (Jn 19.30), was the offering of the all-sufficient sacrifice for the atonement of all sinners.  The Man on the cross was the Lamb of God, who bears the sins of the world to carry them away from the face of God.  The salvation of the whole ...

  Last night, my son and I were enjoying our nightly ritual of reading books and bible stories before bedtime.  The bible story we were reading was the birth of Jesus–yes, he’s in the Christmas spirit early–and we paused at the end on a picture of baby Jesus lying in a manger, surrounded by animals, Joseph and ...

• Lutheranism Scares People, Part 2

  
  The Pastor's Blog — Authority: 114
  (Cross-posted from reviovine.com ) No matter what people tell you, getting something for doing nothing goes against the intrinsic nature of our human core.

• That God died

  
  Cranach: The Blog of Veith — Authority: 507
  I had assumed that yesterday’s post about Crucifixion, in which I talked about how God died, would attract objections. This was actually a big controversy during the Reformation, with Zwinglians in particular denying that God could be said to have died on the Cross. The human nature of Christ died, of course, but ...

  That Bwessed Awangement The only thing that really bothered me about the late administrations marriage promotion agenda was the transparent shoddiness of the science on which it was based. It took marriage to be a treatment, like Prozac or thirty minutes of daily exercise, and then spun all sorts of fanciful ...

• Walther on the Prosperity Gospel

  
  Taking Thoughts Captive... — Authority: 112
  Sadly, much of American Christianity is infatuated with the notion that, once I become a Christian, then God will order everything in my life such that I will be showered with material blessings galore–health, wealth, and prosperity of all kinds–even a hundredfold byond that which I give to the Lord.  The litany ...

As soon as you ...
