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?

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?

My #introduction: I'm a #TwitterMigrant. Interests include #Knitting, #theology, #Music, #Books, #USPolitics (although ready for a brief rest after the US midterms!!). I'm a #Lutheran, #ScoutLeader, #BoyMom to a pre-teen and wife to a good guy who is not at all interested in social media. I might talk about #CareerDevelopment as it's taking up a lot of brain space lately.
This seems to be a more global, interesting, and kinder place than the blue bird. I'm excited to see where it goes!
