Go to church tomorrow.
Easter is approaching and you want to be prepared.
Also Jesus is returning and you absolutely want to be ready for that.

Seinfeld had shallow, self absorbed characters and the ending was designed to highlight that the characters were pretty terrible people.
Friends also had shallow, self absorbed characters, but the audience was expected to think that they were good people.

Lord have mercy
Maria, a young abortion activist on the forefront of the fight to legalize abortion in Argentina, proudly had her first legal “safe” abortion this past month at a hospital.
She—and her baby—died as a consequence.
There is deafening silence from the global pro-abortion movement.

When a college student drives 1 1/2 hours each Sunday to come to church, is going to be confirmed on Sunday, and actively reads the Book of Concord online, you get him a confirmation present.

Him: "It's my birthday money. I want to use it to help fix the roof at church."

When I die please don’t even consider having a “celebration of life.” Have a Christian funeral that proclaims Christ’s saving work and anticipates the resurrection. Also, sing Reformation and Easter hymns.

The stole being placed on a pastor is a symbol that he bears the yoke of the ministry. It's not his ministry, but the Lord's. It's not up to him what to do, but he is given to do that which has been entrusted to him from the Lord.

If you’re a Lutheran who has recently joined Twitter: welcome, we’re glad you’re here.
We have a nice community of confessional Lutherans here who have been here for a while.
We take theology seriously, but we don’t take ourselves seriously.

Baptism is individual and communal.
The Sacrament of the altar is individual and communal.
Worship is individual and communal.
Faith is individual and communal.
Christianity isn’t individualistic.
The Lord always calls us to community.

Well yeah
Because He was and is the Christ.

The sound theology of knowing that Jesus is coming again and will make all things well certainly can take a great load off of our minds as well.

Our little church choir is going to sing Christmas hymns at our town’s cookie walk.
We get to sing of the Savior while the town gathers for a cool event.
The school choirs declined the opportunity.
The big churches in town declined too.
But we’ll do it.
Gladly.

Few things are absolutely essential for churches.
The divine service
A pastor
Word and Sacrament ministry
But things like Sunday School, VBS, youth group, LWML, LLL, etc. are not mandatory.
If they’re helpful, then great!
If not, don’t feel guilt for not having them.

My heart is full
The Apostles’ Creed was confessed in English, ASL, Arabic, Amharic, and Somali.
Voices were raised in worship and prayer.
Brothers and sisters from different cultures were one around the Communion rail.
God be praised.

Lutheranism is a confession, not a midwestern or German cultural cliche
@booksandbbq
@CrankyFed
Cultural Lutheranism is the worst kind of Lutheranism
Actually believing and living out what we teach is the best kind of Lutheranism and can be done in the south, midwest, the coasts, and internationally.

For those who don’t know
In the LCMS we have “Christian” because we received it from the German. It’s a translation issue, not a theological statement being made in using “Christian” instead of “catholic”
It should be “one, holy ______ and apostolic Church.”
