I came across this blog entry tonight, and was blown away. This fellow observes great opportunties ahead, and I think he is right on the mark. This is the time to step up to the plate, and throughout his post he mirrors a common theme, dont be safe, dont be timid, dont be fearful, step [...]
3 Comments » expensive, is what the librarian told me, when I picked it up as an interlibrary loan. She told me the replacement cost was listed as $900.00!!! Ouch, I will protect it as if it was gold LOL My guess is, someone messed up data entry, as Amazon has it for $9.99 and google books has [...]
There are significant differences of opinion within Christianity as a whole as concerns the following ELCA amendment from some time back. To call upon the ELCA to underscore the call for economic initiatives by this church and its members in the peace not walls campaign. Such initiatives, in consultation with the Evangelical Lutheran church in [...]
Dave’s Lenton Lutheran Paradox is amazingly cool! A must read for all faith based bloggers. It appears more and more Pastor’s are writing their sermons at Starbucks, Panera, and other WiFi enabled coffee shops. Are such firms the new secratarium or pastors office? Its a powerful thing in many ways. I must admit it would [...]
Today, I reached the section on the slavery controversy of the mid- late 1800′s. In many ways, its saddening to read the opinions of the well respected men of the past and how wrong they were.

So, I’ve been persusing blogs on all sides of the ELCA’s task force recommendations. A somewhat recurrent theme seems to be long drawn out entries, almost white papers. Granted, its a complex and lengthy document…. but when one brings up 10, 20, or more points of response within a single blog entry, its a bit [...]
So I’m behind on the lectionary… one of the issues of non-real time particpation in the ELCA faith community. Anyhow, the text of issue is Mark 1:29-39, where in v 32-34 Jesus is curing the sick and casting out demons. Lutherans, as a general rule dont get into the demon thing very much at all, [...]
This is a response to Pastor Bryans blog where he talks about the negatives of church shopping, namely tradition, beliefs, style, and a lack of diversity. I’ll focus on tradition and diversity. Tradition creates a feeling of comfort, which in and of itself is fine, but it can also lead to complacency. If one attends [...]
In my search for regional blogs, as part of my quest to learn more of Lutheran history, I found Skating in the Garden in High Heels under my Alb from Roland, IA. The major focus was on the law and Gospel, but also how the third use of the law ties in. The part below [...]
1. When writing an extended paper defending a theological position, don’t make a major error in the 2nd paragraph of the first page. It kills credibility fast. I’m sure I’ll do the same, or have done so and dont know yet… but still, EEK 2. If guest preaching, know something about the host preacher. Ie, [...]
