Law and Gospel
It is my prayer that this blog will give glory to God! “But what does it say? ‘The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,’ that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, ‘Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame’”. (Romans 9:8-11 NIV)

Music has always held a position of great importance within the Evangelical Lutheran Church. However, the future
of hymnody is threatened, partly due to a severe lack of understanding of hymn texts and the role of hymns within the
Divine Service. This blog exists to promote educating both clergy and laity in this rich treasury which belongs to all of
God's people.

9/7/07
Well I suppose I enjoy reading various blogs and have decided to give myself the chance to express some of the struggles in my life. I am a husband and father, who struggles with a lot of demons on a daily basis. I try to curb my outward sins, but I worry about their effect on my wife and kids. I trust in Christ for my righteousness before God, I go to Holy Absolution, but my faith while strong is at the same time weak, my sin is always before me, if I weren't a Lutheran I don't know how I could take it any longer. I identify with St. Paul's struggle with sin very much, because I know the commands of God but my sins are always very apparent, knowing the Law of God shows my sins so clearly that I cling to Christ for comfort, I find it nowhere else.
I expect my posts to revolve around my struggles with sin, with theology and culture thrown in, since those are the posts from others that I enjoy reading about.

Thoughts and ruminations by a confessionally-minded Lutheran pastor on church and society. Seelsorger is a German word which means both pastor and chaplain.

My writings will undoubtedly touch on both.

Memorial Moment applies the theological content of a quotation from a church father, such as Luther, Leo the Great, Chrysostom, Augustine, Gregory the Great, Athanasius, the Cappadocian fathers, etc. to a contemporary faith issue. These devotions, which take seriously the church's great tradition, focus on the gospel of God's gracious giving rather than on human activity. These devotions put into practice the idea that an important contextualization for the church's theology is the church's history. The work receives enthusiastic reception from a growing list of 800+ email subscribers.
