  1. Luther observes that the communicants filing to the Lord’s Supper on Sunday are, by Monday, scraping, grabbing, and scratching across every level of society. He finds this a sin and a shame. Today we’ve tidied this up considerably: one may join a party that deplores poor scratchers, or one that deplores rich grabbers, and in either case feel entirely absolved. Luther, characteristically, was not offering that option.

  2. 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?

  3. 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?

  4. "Why I wrote EcoActivist Testament," a >2 minute video. In this video you will see this octogenarian (me) worshiping with nature at our old farmhouse in the western mountains of Maine.

    If you are a faith-driven #ecoactivist, I wrote this for you. If you are sometimes on the verge of despair, wondering "why bother!?" I wrote this for you.
