• Lutheranism Scares People, Part 2

  
  The Pastor's Blog — Authority: 118
  (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. America was founded on the idealism of rugged individualism that struggles against the handout and promotes self-determination. Even when government ...

• Lutheranism Scares People, Part 1

  
  The Pastor's Blog — Authority: 118
  (Cross-posted from reviovine.com ) This afternoon, I met with someone to discuss some of his spiritual problems.

  Last Seasons Fruit is Eaten (and the Fullfed Beast Shall Kick the Empty Pail ) * Yesterday my synod held an in-service day of sorts for new pastors. It was my first time at such an event, and though my half-time schedule chafes at work tasks that dont actually accomplish things, I appreciate that our leadership ...

• That God died

  
  Cranach: The Blog of Veith — Authority: 551
  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 ...

• All Saints’ Day?

  
  Taking Thoughts Captive... — Authority: 113
  For many Christians, especially those whose traditions do not observe the church calendar, the mere mention of “All Saints’ Day” sounds eerily Roman Catholic or taboo.  But what exactly is this feast day (i.e., church celebration) all about?  I have found no better short explanation than that in the Treasury ...

• Walther on the Prosperity Gospel

  
  Taking Thoughts Captive... — Authority: 113
  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 ...

• On Reading the Bible

  
  Better Living: Thoughts from Mark Daniels — Authority: 499
  This post from yesterday--actually the text of my Sunday morning sermon--warrants a little further explanation. In the sermon, I talked about three truths that Lutheran Christians have always seen as foundational: Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Word Alone. The last truth is what I want to address here. As soon as you ...

• Luther, the Roman Mass, and the Lutheran Liturgy

  
  Esgetology — Authority: 122
  Another gem from Sasse, as we reflect this week on the Reformation: Although in his book on the Babylonian captivity of the church and in the Smalcalk Articles, [luther] unmasked and condemned the idolatry which had crept into the Mass, he admitted that the Roman Mass was still a valid Eucharist. And so he did not, ...

• Tidings from Lapland

  
  Northwest Anglican — Authority: 117
  I received another new book in the last few days, which I was also very excited to get as it is not available for purchase on the internet. The book is Memoirs of Early Christianity in Northern Lapland by Aatu Laitinen. The first couple of chapters on the lives of Laestadius and Raattamaa have been very interesting ...

• New poll for Reformation

  
  Esgetology — Authority: 122
  Some theologians have maintained that Luther is the angel in 14:1  Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2  And I heard a voice from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the sound of loud ...

• Bonhoeffer on Church Growth

  
  Taking Thoughts Captive... — Authority: 113
  I’m no expert on the theology of the Church Growth Movement (or whatever clever moniker it goes by these days), but I can’t help but be disappointed at the continual emphasis on church growth (i.e., numbers) that is so rampant within Evangelicalism.  Everywhere you turn there are books, seminars, web sites, ...

• Reformation This Sunday

  
  The Pastor's Blog — Authority: 118
  This coming Sunday, we’ll be celebrating the Reformation in church. In 1517, monk Martin Luther started a theological revolt against Roman Catholic doctrine that locked away the Gospel from God’s children and replaced it with a reliance on the law (mostly man-made). Luther’s struggle to bring the Gospel of Jesus ...

• Versus populum or ad orientam? Sasse on “St. Zwingli” and “liturgical arts-and-crafts”

  
  Esgetology — Authority: 122
  Fr. Charles McClean gave me a copy of these excerpts from a letter of Hermann Sasse to Peter Brunner. I am not certain if he translated this or not, and will update this post when I find out. The best part is the second paragraph, so stick with it! “What concerns me and to speak frankly has saddened me is your ...
