I published this at Lew Rockwell, and I think it has relevancy here, both in terms of our churchly institutions as well as what it means to confess.

Three cheers

We note that, appropriately, President Harrison has announced that he is launching an investigation into our synodical schools in Mequon and Ann Arbor. As he indicated, this is in accordance with his duties as president of the LCMS.

Jesus is not in the Way, He is the Way

It’s amazing how homogeneous the experiences are of pastors all across America. American Christianity is plagued by the same culture that leads to the same idols that lead to the same struggles. There are certain false gods we adore in our country and culture.

New and Improved!

I’m not just an editor, I’m a subscriber - and have been for a long time. I was getting Gottesdienst in the 1990s, before I went to seminary.

Sheep in Wolves' Clothing?

While going through seminary in my day, we no longer “officially” declared an area of specialty (i.e. practical, historical, or exegetical).

Lenten Weekday Masses

Lent has a character all its own: it has not only mass readings assigned for every Wednesday and Friday, as well as this week’s Ember Days, but a full set of mass propers for every single day from Ash Wednesday until the Resurrection of Our Lord. To put this in perspective, in our current books, we have the full mass propers for Ash Wednesday, for the Sundays in Lent, and for each day of Holy Week - but all of this comprises less than one third of the totality of Lenten mass propers.

Outstanding Resource for Families!

It always seems like we confessional Lutherans are usually behind the 8-ball for family devotional and catechetical resources, especially for homeschoolers and/or families that include the very young.
