  • Wisdom and Eloquence

    - Jul 10, 2009 10:05:54
    I've been thinking some more on how wonderful (and what a great bargain) the Wisdom and Eloquence conference on Tuesday August 4-Thursday Aug 6, 2009 at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Ft. Wayne, Indiana is going to be.

    What other conference features daily Eucharist along with the prayer offices? I don't know of any.

  • The Visitation and the 4th of July

    - Jul 02, 2009 16:09:52
    "Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord." said St. Elizabeth to St. Mary. St. Mary was just pregnant. The Holy Spirit had overshadowed her and she had conceived. The Seed of Abraham was in her womb. He was a child without a father even as He was a priest without a genealogy. She was probably not showing yet. She was ...

  • How to Tie Your Shoes

    - Jul 02, 2009 06:42:07
    Do your bows look like this:


    or this:


    Even though I knew how to tie a square knot, I tied granny knots in my shoelaces for years, and my bows looked like the lower picture. The waxed laces of men's dress shoes slip ver...

  • The Adulterer's Vanity

    - Jul 01, 2009 07:08:21
    I don't think President Clinton's affair with a white house intern was a love affair - from his perspective. I'd guess it was from hers. That was what made it so abusive. He took advantage of his authority and power. It was a terrible abuse of power, like unto a teacher, a minister, or a superior officer.

    But we should be warned. Every case of adultery I've known of in the church has ...

  • Sermon Building from Regina, SK

    - Jun 30, 2009 06:51:51
    Every preacher should be able to preach Law and Gospel, in a simple and direct way, off the cuff, from any text. This skill can easily be developed with shut-in and hospital calls. If the preacher takes the same text to the shut-ins all week long and forces himself to expound it in light of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, by the end of the week, he will have a sermon and probably know ...

  • Help with a song

    - Jun 29, 2009 16:29:12
    Back when we were dancing at American Style in Ft. Wayne, they would end their Friday night dances with the bump (a sort of line dance where you circle the floor and get a new partner every round). The song was a blast. It would be perfect for musical chairs at VBS. I can't even remember if it had lyrics. But I think it might have had "bada boomp bada boomp." Any ideas what that could be...

  • Thoughts on Preaching from Regina, SK

    - Jun 29, 2009 09:48:03
    1. Theology is personal. We preach to and for ourselves.

    2. We need to preach the Law as accusation, not as friendly advice or wisdom.

    3. We need to preach the Gospel as though it is the last word the hearers will ever hear.

    4. Our preaching needs to sing, to put words of praise into the mouths of the people.

    5. We need to be less self-aware...

  • Pastoral thoughts in the midst of cancer

    - Jun 28, 2009 19:10:37
    Add Rev. Scot Kinnaman's blog, Blog My Soul to your bookmarks and add him to your prayer list while you are at it. Rev. Kinnaman's sorrow, fear, and violation at being diagnosed with prostate cancer late last month have already borne fruit for the church. God be praised. And as long as he is willing to share, and he is certainly not obligated, we shall all be...

  • Presentation of the Augsburg Confession sermon

    - Jun 26, 2009 13:54:14
    The Anniversary of the Presentation of the Augsburg Confession
    June 25, 2009)
    Text: St. Matthew 10:26-33
    Title: A Confessor Worth More Than Sparrows.

    God did not become a sparrow. He became a Man. He took up our flesh in order to make payment for our sins and to rejoin us back to Him. He gives us a part in His Kingdom. He gives us something to confess.
