The Collect & Bible readings

More from Narrative Commentary on the Divine Service by John Pless. Notice how we hear from a prophet, an apostle, and an evangelist every Sunday: SALUTATION, COLLECT – (p. 189) The pastor stands in the congregation as Christ’s servant. The vestment he wears indicates that he is not speaking on his own, but as one sent and authorized to represent Christ Jesus. As the authorized representative of the Lord, he says “The Lord be with you.” The congregation responds “And... Read more

The price-cutting tailor vs. the New Deal

George Will gives an object lesson about what happened to an ordinary citizen when the government presumed to control the economy: The crime scene at 138 Griffith St. has changed in 76 years. Today it is a barber shop. In 1934, it was a tailoring and cleaning establishment owned and run by Jacob Maged, 49. With his responsibilities as a father of four, Maged should have shunned a life of crime. Instead, he advertised his criminal activity with a placard... Read more

Quantum photonic computers

A dramatic practical application of “weird science” may revolutionize computers in the next five years: A new photonic chip that works on light rather than electricity has been built by an international research team, paving the way for the production of ultra-fast quantum computers with capabilities far beyond today’s devices. Future quantum computers will, for example, be able to pull important information out of the biggest databases almost instantaneously. As the amount of electronic data stored worldwide grows exponentially, the... Read more

Another great sermon from Pastor Douthwaite, preaching on Luke 15:1-10. An excerpt: And so Jesus says: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?” And the Pharisees and scribes are perhaps thinking to themselves here: What man of them? None of them! Why risk the 99 for the sake of the one?... Read more

More from the Narrative Commentary on the Divine Service by Prof. John Pless of Concordia Theological Seminary (Ft. Wayne, IN). Again, our pastor had these brief introductions read before each part of the service as a way to teach the liturgy. Notice that the entire liturgy consists essentially of passages of Scripture. When someone objects to the liturgy, I ask, “What words from the Bible do you think we shouldn’t say?” INTROIT (p.186) Having received the Lord’s forgiveness, we are... Read more

Will Republicans blow their big chance?

Last updated on: September 16, 2010 at 5:30 am By Gene Veith

Tea partiers scored big in this week’s primary elections, defeating long-established Republican politicians with newcomers whose zeal exceeds their experience. Now Democrats, just as they were getting resigned to a rout in November, are thinking that maybe they will do OK, that the Republican Tea Party candidates will be too extreme, too scary, or too unqualified to attract the larger public, who will instead be prudent and elect the Democrat. See As the Tea Party Rises, Democrats See an Opening... Read more

Luther’s bar tunes

Last updated on: September 16, 2010 at 5:00 am By Gene Veith

Luther used bar tunes in his hymns, right? So we too can use the pop music of the entertainment industry for our church songs, right? Once again, as I have explained before, a “bar tune” in music history is NOT a song that was sung in our kind of “bars”! Peter Berg explain: Luther did not use bar songs but rather his own creations and the musical heritage of the church catholic. The term bar refers to the type of... Read more

From Narrative Commentary to the Divine Service by John Pless: It is only through the forgiveness of sins that we enter into the life of heaven. To confess your sins is to speak the truth about your life. This truth you learn from the Word of God and He, through the Holy Spirit, teaches you to say what He says (same/say). God seeks that truth in the heart and on the lips. To confess your sin is to same/say “Amen”... Read more

Loving austerity

Last updated on: September 15, 2010 at 5:38 am By Gene Veith

You’ve got to hand it to the Brits, as Anne Applebaum explains: “Vicious cuts.” “Savage cuts.” “Swingeing cuts.” The language that the British use to describe their new government’s spending reduction policy is apocalyptic in the extreme. The ministers in charge of the country’s finances are known as “axe-wielders” who will be “hacking” away at the national budget. Articles about the nation’s finances are filled with talk of blood, knives and amputation. And the British love it. Not only is... Read more

Physics and the Uncaused First Cause

Christian physicist Frank Tipler, via Stephen Hawking, offers an update on St. Thomas Aquinas: In 1966, Stephen Hawking published his first — completely valid — proof for the existence of God. Over the next seven years, he followed this with even more powerful valid theorems proving God’s existence. So how did Hawking, who successfully proved God’s existence, remain an atheist? Simple. He simply denied that the assumptions he used in his proofs were true. As a matter of logic, if... Read more
