#lutheran — Public Fediverse posts

#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.

Winter sniffles + giant Duplos + the classic 'pass the used Kleenex' move 😅😂 Pastor Justin Wixon turns everyday messiness (and family humor!) into a powerful reminder: We dirty up the good things in life... but God washes us clean through the gift of Baptism!

Carl Ferdinand Wilhelm Walther was the first President of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod. This pamphlet speaks against communism and socialism, but also surprisingly, makes striking criticisms of greed. One such warning is that no Christian would have their money and heart as one.

Is this a common spiritual warning today?

Where is your heart?

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?

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?
