Gossner—German Reformed and Lutheran minister—lists the components of divine service without apparent hierarchy. Suffer. Praise God. Preach the Gospel. Love the neighbor. Visit the widow and fatherless in their affliction. Keep unspotted from the world. It’s a complete list. One notes that contemporary spokesmen for historic conservative Christianity tend to cover some items more thoroughly than others, and develop considerable theological ingenuity around the remainder.

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?

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?

Steven Ozmet's work on the Swiss Reformation helps to make a good deal of sense of why Calvin's Two Kingdoms theology has a weaker distinction than Luther's. (Calvin did learn the hard way the challenges of integrating church and governance, incidentally.)
