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

    I'm breaking with my daily routine a little, today. I've got a lot of laundry to do between now and when I have to get ready for work, so I'm putting off my morning devotions until I get one load into the dryer and the next load into the washer. I did say the morning prayers today, already, though.

    Now, For Something Completely Different

    When I was a Catholic with Vaticanish affinities, the church I attended had four confessionals around the main sanctuary. Every Saturday, there were some seriously long lines to each one of those confessionals. It only got a little embarrassing when the fellow making his confession began to get...

    Now, For Something Completely Different

    Understood. I still just like to do it and my Pastor is very good about keeping the appointments and giving me good pastoral advice. :)

    Now, For Something Completely Different

    Exactly right. I make an appointment for Private Confession at least once every couple of months. It truly is a wonderful blessing and I'm glad that the Lutheran Reformers retained it.

    What message do you take away from Job?

    Well, MC, all I can really say to that is that my belief states that if it's in the Scriptures, then God said it. If God said it ( and it's impossible for God to lie), then I believe it. For me, that settles it. That will probably come across as a cliché, but I really don't know any better way...

    What message do you take away from Job?

    What do I take from this? That God's ways are above our own, for one. For another, if there are things even in God's own Creation that we can't understand ( and there are), how can we hope to comprehend the reasonings of the Almighty? Our capacities are finite, God's capacities on the other...

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Is the process of making those amendments so complicated that the average Australian politicians can't be bothered with it?

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    So, the United Kingdom benefits from having a monarchy. Well and good. What benefits do Australians enjoy as ( perhaps technically) British subjects?

    Christian Denomination Selector Quiz

    How would one's eternal life be affected by a web quiz? Don't we all agree that it would be by God's mercy that we would enter into eternal life in any event? Surely God's not bound to the Internet!

    Okay, let's talk about predestination

    You want to see a real flame war? Try getting Lutherans and Reformed to see eye to eye about predestination. We believe that God leads the saved to Glory, but people select damnation for themselves. The Reformed say that God chooses the elect for salvation and the unsaved for damnation. That's...

    Doubts in my Church

    Well, I guess I'd best recommend my own church, www.lcms.org. This is a Confessional Lutheran Church, whose theology is based entirely on the Bible and those traditions that are themselves Biblical. If you like, www.bookofconcord.org describes our position in matters of faith and doctrine, but...

    What message do you take away from Job?

    God's ways are higher than our own and His will shall be done. Testing followed by redemption seems to be a major theme in this work.
