    What does Lent mean to you?

    Lent is a forty day period ( excluding Sundays) wherein we focus on repentance of our sins and renewal of our faith, as Josiah stated above. I look at it as a time when my faith gets a sort of spiritual recharge, when the proclamation of the Word and the reception of the Sacraments have an added...

    Lutherans don't believe Jesus is God?

    Well, I hope I can try to provide some constructive input. The ELCA is regarded by many of us in the LCMS as an apostate organization that has no right to claim the name " Lutheran" in their title. That many prominent clerical figures in a seminary run by ELCA ( " Everything Luther Cautioned...

    Are you an official member of a church

    I was received into Hope Lutheran Church ( LCMS) in Jacksonville, FL, in 2013. In May of 2014, I transferred my membership to Hope Lutheran Church ( LCMS) in Manassas, VA. I found a community with apostolic continuity and Biblical emphasis on Word and Sacraments I'd been looking for since 2011...

    Do you think a God who drowns innocent babies from ppl before the flood is loving?

    Well, if the angels in Heaven ( or fallen angels who lost their place in Heaven) do not need to reproduce because they wouldn't need to be replaced, who's to say that these " sons of God" weren't descendants of Adam's son, Seth and the daughters of men did not descend from Cain, the world's...

    Passive Righteousness

    Amen! Our righteousness is but a dirty rag without Christ, but when Christ is our righteousness, then the Holy Spirit begins to create new movements in our hearts. God does it all.

    Which OTHER church would you choose?

    No, not precisely on point, but that particular answer isn't utterly dissimilar. Imaginary Day, here's an article dealing with the Affirmation of St. Louis, which dealt with the orthodox Anglican response to an encroaching liberal heterodoxy that was beginning to infiltrate the Episcopal Church...

    Which OTHER church would you choose?

    Same. If I couldn't be a Confessional LCMS Lutheran, I'd be a conservative High Church Anglican. If I couldn't do www.lcms.org, I'd do www.anglicancatholic.org.

    Would you ever sue a child of yours?

    Right now, I say " no, I'd never sue my daughter." She's thirteen. She's always been a sweetheart, but her innocence might be exploited by people less scrupulous. I trust Kiersten, but if I don't know who she's hanging out with, I'm not going to trust them to do anything but use her. I might sue...

    Re-introduction Corner ...game?

    Hi, I'm Andy. I have an unhealthy obsession with genealogy and history and I love to point out trivia one bit at a time. I have an older sister, Keli, who I used to fight with all the time, but now that she lives in Charlotte, NC and I'm still in Northern Virginia, we get along perfectly! My...

    The RCC and Lizzie the College Student

    One of the most important lessons I learned as a Lutheran was that some things are best left as mysteries and that our reason can't encompass everything. We do have revelation and yet we are not to entirely suppress our reason but to subordinate it to the measure of faith that God has given to...

    The RCC and Lizzie the College Student

    In all humility, I have to say that when I was in the Catholic Church, I was a Protestant in Hiding. If I'd known that there were Protestant liturgical churches available, I might have gone directly from Baptist to Lutheran ( or possibly Anglican). As a Catholic, I would have screamed to High...

    What are you currently reading or just finished?

    I'm on chapter 15 of The Expanding Blaze, by Jonathan Israel. This chapter discusses the influence of the Age of Enlightenment and the American Revolution on Spanish America's struggle for independence from Spain. Chapter 16 deals with the repercussions of the ideals of the American and French...
