Comment on Feast of the Holy Trinity – John 3:1-15 by Charles James

Thank you pastor for the sermon. There are a lot of people who would identify as Christian simply because they think that being Christian is living in a civilized society. They fail, as I have failed many times in my life, to see and experience that the Christian life is living the life of the Trinity which the Trinity, Father, Son and Spirit, has shared and is sharing and will always share with humankind. Did the Trinity not plan that the Son take on our human nature so that we can share in the life of the Trinity? Why do we make ourselves languish in the dark moments of mundane life when we know and believe that God is offering us life, a life that reassures us that He is God for us, wanting to fill us with His love and life.

“This difficulty is not solved by an old Lutheran Church Orders when it states: ‘The Christian congregation is to be instructed on this day about two great doctrines of Christian teaching, of the Holy Trinity and of Regeneration.’ ”

Anyone know to what Church Orders he refers? Such instruction about the perceived theological focus for each Sunday would be enlightening.

Comment on Easter 7 – John 15:26-16:4 by Charles James

Thanks for the sermon. Indeed persecution can come from fellow Christians or from those who think that they are more Christian than Christians of a different denomination. It can be experienced within the home when one parent has lost his/her faith and the family is divided and the children , after seeing the division between their parents, give up the practice of their faith. We can allow un-Christ-like behaviour to creep into our lives and negate our witness to the Gospel. Pray for me that I may persevere in living out my faith daily.

Every day that I live I become more conscious of my own sinfulness. I see my propensity to sin. Thanks for the sermon – Christ alone is the sinless one and it is through him that we find forgiveness.

FYI, the link to download the entire pdf of all of lessons for lambs is not functioning, at least not for me.

Hi, Todd:

Just happened to run across (stumbleUpon?) this web site. It looks like the beginning (?) of something good. Thanks.

Comment on Hymn Plan for 2012-2013 by The Rev. BT Ball

Dave-
plugging straight through has been done all over the place, I’m quite sure it was common during the TLH glory days. The only caution I have is that the saints will miss the greatest chorale there is, Wachet Auf, as you are not observing the 27th Sunday after Trinity. If you aren’t going to observe that day, you gotta get that hymn in there somewhere.

Comment on Trinity 20 – Matthew 9:1-8 by Charles James

Thanks for the sermon – the example of the car salesman is vivid and illustrates that grace is not earned but given freely for our eternal salvation. Pray for me that I may continue responding to God’s gift of grace. May God bless your ministry and open the hearts of those to whom you announce his Word.

Don’t ya just love it when God is NOT “fair” with us? I do NOT want to be treated ‘fairly’ in the matter of justification and salvation (or a bunch of other gifts that God gives).
