    What do Lutherans believe?

    What do Lutherans believe? The 5 Solae, for a start. Then, there's our monergistic worldview and the emphasis on the Church being where the Word is proclaimed and the Sacraments correctly administered. Our beliefs can be traced back to the early years of the Christian Church. What Martin Luther...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 5

    I've got another bronchial infection. I was struck with it last night and now I'm trying to keep my mind focused on other things while taking tea, cough medicine and such like that to get over this.

    Taking Thoughts Captive

    Who renews your mind? You or the Holy Spirit? I would say that God does the renewing simply because we aren't capable of doing that on our own. I definitely suggest a regimen of Scripture study and that God give you the grace to adopt it as part of your morning routine. The hows and whys are...

    What do Lutherans believe?

    Interesting. I had it in mind that we as Lutheran laity were required to abide by the Lutheran Confessions and not depart from them even in the face of death. I understand that the LCMS has its own follies and foibles that ( apart from the teachings of the Confessions, which themselves are...

    Taking Thoughts Captive

    You don't. You pray to God, Who does all the work in getting rid of that pesky Old Adam and Who forms Christ in you. God's grace remains our only hope in this world and the next.

    What do Lutherans believe?

    No argument, there. There are a lot of people in the LCMS that are all about CoWo, Ordain Women Now and people who call themselves " progressive Lutherans" seem intent on shattering the Synod from the inside out. Of course, I didn't take instruction and enter an LCMS congregation so I could side...

    What do Lutherans believe?

    From what I understand ( I've only been an official Lutheran since 2013, so I'm still in the " doe- eyed convert stage," I guess), these views are meant to be binding on everybody and especially the Church leadership. www.bookofconcord.org is a fairly good resource for investigating Lutheran...

    Why should I let you into my heaven, asks God. How do you reply?

    Luther said that it's not the water, but the water and the Word that brings salvation to the recipient of Holy Baptism, therefore ( as the promises of God apply to infants and baptism brings salvation and sparks faith) children are indeed to be baptized. It is God doing the baptism. Being born...

    Why should I let you into my heaven, asks God. How do you reply?

    You shouldn't. I'm a sinner tainted not only by Original Sin, but by every sin I've committed in my lifetime. Yet, I am baptized and by Your own Word, I have been absolved of all my sins, so the life I live, I live in Christ. Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of my Faith has, by His Life...

    Happy St. Andrew's Day!

    It may be. The legend in Scotland was that King Angus of the Picts and Scots saw a huge army of Angles that his own army was scheduled to do battle with. Angus swore that if his people won the day, St. Andrew would become Scotland's patron saint. They did, St. Andrew was named Scotland's patron...

    Okay, let's talk about predestination

    " Once Saved Always Saved" is a Calvinist theory? Interesting.. I thought it was some sort of Free Church Pietistic sort of thing. Good call. The Great Awakening in the early years of the United States was truly a disaster in more ways than one, and tent- meeting " revivals" that lead to this "...

    Happy St. Andrew's Day!

    Today is the feast day of my namesake, St. Andrew the Apostle ( who also happens to be the patron Saint of Scotland). Now, St. Andrew was Simon Peter's younger brother, who first told him that " they found the Messiah " ( John 1:41) and led his older brother to Jesus. St. Andrew was one of the...

    Now, For Something Completely Different

    Ah, modern technology! I'm sure that the churches in Australia are a lot more modern than the wood and stone ( and brick and concrete) facades that we have here.
