It is within this charged atmosphere that Luther’s writings take on their full significance. His responses to the Turkish threat were not merely reactions to military events; they were rooted in a deep theological reflection on the nature of God’s rule over the world, the responsibilities of Christian rulers, and the role of the Church in times of crisis.

Mutual Conversation and Consolation of the Brethren V — Some Examples from Rod Rosenbladt

This chorus digs below the surface to reveal that beneath our chosen self-medications, be they alcohol or drugs or overeating or smoking or bed-hopping, you’ll unearth the real killer. And “it ain’t the whiskey.”

By the time we pulled off the side of the road, they had spilled out and surrounded our vehicle.

It was by listening closely to Dr. Rosenbladt's words and watching his quiet actions that one could learn many things about being a dad.

We like to define ourselves, and to have others see us and talk about us, based upon our accomplishments.

"For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." This should therefore be our starting place for understanding the basis of the doctrine.

St. Paul talks about faith that is weak and by his description of what it looks like, I lived there; I've been the weak brother. It appears that a firm faith is that faith that trusts in the goodness of God for you based on something outside of you – not on some special, superior knowledge, but having your name known and loved by God.

I pray Thy name be hallowed, Lord,
But want my name to be adored.

We will be watching fireworks and eating traditional combinations of food and drink today, along with many other Americans. While we celebrate this wonderful day when our founding fathers came together to stand against tyranny and oppression, we are thinking about the religious freedom we have in this county.

We have to trust that there is value in these conversations. They are not valuable only when they can be counted as a program. And what are most programs but attempts to get us to “act like” Christians at some future point of time?

Have we made Christianity too easy? No, God has made Christianity “too easy” because He has made it pure gift.
