#Lutheran #clergy in the centuries after the #reformation was a dense family network. Not only did the priests aspire that at least one son followed in their profession, they also networked to ensure their daughters married clergymen. In today's blog entry I've written up some of the resulting #matrilines in my #familyhistory.

✧ Easter Oratorio ✧
The Easter Oratorio, BWV 249, is one of three oratorios composed by Johann Sebastian Bach for high holiday services of the Lutheran church in Leipzig. He wrote an autograph score (page pictured) in 1738, but had already composed the music in 1725 for two works: the congratulatory Shepherd Cantata and a church cantata for Easter. The ...

In 1607, two #Lutheran clergymen sharing the surname Andreae came to work in the small town of #Kastellaun (#Hunsrück). One, 20-something, as the schoolmaster, the other, 75, as the vicar. Were they related? https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2026/03/understanding-andreae-connection.html

Martin Luther taught that covetousness—the restless desire for more—must be put to death. The Christian test is plain: the Golden Rule, dealing with others as we would be dealt with, the foundation of equity and justice.
Yet today complaints of unfairness are often dismissed as envy, and the charge of coveting is turned upon the complainant rather than the sin.

Martin Luther basically says every Christian hosts a daily argument between “Old Adam” and a conscience trained by Scripture. One wants holiness; the other wants snacks, shortcuts, and another pint. True faith trains the heart to praise Christ, serve neighbors, and stop cheating people. Beer optional. Moses still teaching.

Morris Officer, founder of the first Lutheran mission in Liberia, looked squarely at the slave trade and could bear it no longer. He prayed that every trace of that cruel traffic would be washed away. His response wasn’t theory, but repentance and hope. What injustices do we dare to pray would be cleansed from our own world—and our own hearts?

Andreas Hyperius, a 16th-century Flemish Lutheran/Reformed theologian, reads “You shall not steal” with unnerving specificity: withholding wages, shaving pay, defaulting on what is owed. His moral clarity assumes obedience reaches into ordinary economic life—even where raising such concerns makes people bristle. Scripture leaves little room for comfortable evasions.

David Chytraeus, the Lutheran theologian, reads 1 John with unnerving clarity: to refuse love is already a kind of death. Christ’s self-giving redefines what life looks like, and when we seal our hearts against need, we quietly deny that love lives in us at all. Love, then, must become concrete—truth taking flesh in action.
How can you show love?

Luther, peering at Psalm 14, says the real atheist isn’t the loud one but the numb one: the person who neither expects good from God nor seeks Him, and so grows hard, joyless, and oddly hostile—more inclined to wound than to help.
Now, if you look around and see people campaigning against kindness itself, that doesn’t exactly refute Luther.
So—how do you actually dwell on God’s goodness until it softens you?

Luther says “all things are possible”, but this doesn’t mean superpowers, it means you won’t disintegrate if you give things away. Belief makes generosity survivable. Once you realise what you have is gift, not trophy, pride calms down.
Awkwardly, that power is for your neighbour. So… what are you actually willing to put on the table?

Junius Benjamin Remensnyder was president of a Lutheran synod. He cites complacency about charity as being a _religious problem_. The Christian martyr Polycarp (d. 115) urged not to delay doing good, because alms can deliver from death.
Today we’ll happily delay alms until we can over-scrutinize some allegation against the charity or recipient.
How can you support the idea that delay of charity is a “current religious problem”?

Petrus Sacharie Nakskow, a Lutheran minster, lists five facts about Dives, the rich man who was uncharitable to Lazarus in Luke 16.
How can you depend on Christ, be sparing in your sumptuous feasts, be charitable to the poor, believe in Christ, and believe Moses and the Prophets?

@Gustodon @Paxil It’s worth remembering that #Evangelical used to mean something else. It still does in the #EvangelicalLutheranChurchInAmerica (#ELCA), which is the mainstream #Lutheran organization in the US. For them, evangelism just means sharing the Gospel with us ousiders—not that proselytizing can’t get annoying. They have female pastors and bishops and are pretty LGBTQ friendly. The Wisconsin and Missouri Synods? Not so much. There are many Christian organizations and individual congregations that use the term “Evangelical” in their name but are not right wing.

Johann Albrecht Bengel was a #Lutheran pastor who published a Greek New Testament. Here he comments on the Second Greatest Commandment (Matt 22:39). He speaks of a three way relationship between the reader, God, and himself. The mutual love of God to neighbor reinforces and sets an example for love between neighbors. It eliminates selfishness.
Try reading this aloud quickly.
How can you view a neighbor as truly loved?

Johann Arndt, German #Lutheran theologian, on “true Christianity”. The experience of divine compassion in God’s mercy does create compassion for neighbors in need of mercy.
Today, entire TV networks are available to help one consider how people in difficulty have made their own bed.
How can you view the needs of those around you in light of God’s provision and mercy to you?

Revere Franklin Weidner, a #Lutheran seminary president, considers pew rents, in light of James 2:3. The sad distinctions of common life must not be reinforced in the house of God. Give strangers the best seats!
Is he attacking the church for a social agenda, or he is simply obeying the word of God?
How can you make congregational life easier for poor members?

Johann Arndt, German #Lutheran theologian, writes on “true Christianity”. Two elements: contrition, and making faith visible by going justice (charity and mercy to other’s needs). With these God is more pleased than with sacrifices.
Today, do we say God is more pleased that we would hold up these virtues?
How can you worship God in pure faith, exhibiting its visible effects?
