Sad News from our Seminaries
Posted in Clergy, Uncategorized on May 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Last week something very sad happened on the campus of Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana and the campus of Concordia Seminary in Saint Louis, Missouri. Over thirty men who had gladly responded to the Lord’s call, “Who shall go for us?” saying, “Here am I, send me!” did not receive calls into the [...]
Lutherans and Evangelism: Have We Lost our Voice?
Posted in Baptism, Evangelism, Uncategorized on April 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
A great article by Pastor Peters on evangelism. Enjoy! A thought-provoking article by Pastor Peters, for your consideration and reflection. On another on-line forum is the question “Why Lutherans Can’t Evangelize.” It is a striking question born of a time when Lutherans have borrowed the evangelism methods of others and found themselves without a voice of [...]
Why Pastors Should Not Blog Anonymously
Posted in blogging on April 26, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I found this at cyberbrethren.com. I thought it was a great article. Enjoy! I recently had an unpleasant experience with a Lutheran pastor who blogs anonymously. He felt a need, apparently, to vent his spleen in a particularly spectacularly nasty way about something. When it was pointed out to him how thoroughly inappropriate and way [...]

Want to share with you today something from cyberbrethren.com I heard today from a couple who wrote to me, in response to my post about baptism, and said, “Pastor McCain, because of what happened in our ELCA church we are now attending a church that teaches that only adults should be baptized. Here is what [...]
When Does Faith Begin? Lutheranism’s “Lonely Way” on Baptism
Posted in Baptism, Uncategorized on April 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
When would you say that faith begins, on the basis of which we should venture to baptize? Perhaps at the present age of confirmation? Or in little children when they can confess with the mouth, as Thomas Muenzer of old would have it? Why, it would be the equivalent of turning the miracle wrought by [...]
The Hymnal in Every Home
Posted in Christianity, Uncategorized on March 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Due to the — well, how else to put it than this? — spectacular success and reception of The Lutheran Service Book, Concordia Publishing House is launching an effort to place the hymnal into every home. Traditionally, for Lutherans, there have been three core books that have shaped and formed their faith and life: Bible, Catechism, [...]
A NEW type of church
Posted in Uncategorized on March 31, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Many today are searching for the “right” church. It amazes me what people need to “experience” before they join one particular church. I found this picture today and it made me think of the “criterion” people use to find a new home church. PS. Vomit bags will replace children’s cry bags.

This happened yesterday on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile. Apparently all are not happy with Obama’s stimulus package.
