Remember the Sabbath

Liberal Baptist Pastors Dine with Obama, Sudanese arresting and re-arresting Christians, ISIS on the Loose and Angry in Mosul, while Christians want Christian moms to know it's Okay to wear a Swimsuit this summer. Later, Pastor Gary talks about the Commandment to remember the Sabbath, and why that doesn't mean "don't do any work". Lutheranism for the Rest of us.

Remember Jesus In the Supper

In recent blog post on Gospel Coalition Website author Dustin Crowe wrote about the question "What does it mean to remember Jesus in the Lord's Supper", and he made some really good points. But being Lutherans we couldn't resist first looking at why it's important to understand how Jesus is present in the supper before you can even answer the question of what remember Jesus even means.

Ritz Crackers, Scrabble, and the Christmas

So Families show up on Christmas, bringing with them their old squabbles and anger, to a Holiday bereft of meaning other than getting together to eat, fight, and play scrabble. That's what the American Atheists Group wants you to do. Celebrate a Holiday that has absolutely no Christ in it. No meaning. No point other than to give gifts and visit with family. They could do that any day of the year, couldn't they? Visit Matthew Pancake's Facebook http://www.facebook.com/matthew.pancake Visit Pastor...

The Destruction of a Tender Conscience

People with tender consciences need hope. This Christmas Season is supposed to be about hope, about an announcement that says, "for unto you is born this day in the City of David, a Savior. Tis Christ the Lord." But doesn't it seem a bit like this simple message of hope is getting lost?
