Baugher reads Luke 16 with irritation: the rich man, condemned to hell, still tries ordering Lazarus about, as though nothing changed but his location. His heart stayed the same—still despising Moses. Today that charge gets redirected at those who suggest the rich should behave differently. The original target evades it entirely.

I'm intrigued by the photo here, highly coloured decoration in the Cistercian monastery of Wienhausen - & the note that in Germany "many medieval artworks have endured not despite, but thanks to the Lutheran Reformation." Upcoming talk:

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?
