Baptism means freedom from sin…World Cup…L.A. Kings…Pastor Mark C. Anderson

You can throw out the penultimate issues in that post title and realize that Pastor Mark is still teaching from Steven Paulson’s book, “Lutheran Theology”, the chapter on “Baptism’s Freedom from Sin”.

 Go on…give a listen…if you can tear yourself away from “Diners, Drive-In’s, and Dives” (sometimes I have trouble with that):

 Listen to >  Baptism makes you Holy

And then…enjoy the World Cup games.

And bask in the fact that the L.A. Kings won the Cup (Stanley’s)…again.

And…congratulations to you Spurs fans, as well.

Do you like ‘spiritualizing’ the Christian faith?

Are you one to ‘spiritualize’ The Lord’s Supper?

This message might give you pause. At least we hope it does:

The reality of what is going on in this world

_

How do we view the world? What words are we using to define reality? From what words are we deriving meaning and truth?

_

Pastor Mark addresses this issue in his sermon for the 1st Sunday in Lent, 2014:

This is one of the best anti-religion sermons that I have heard preached in a long time:

 Ash Wednesday sermon, 2014 > Dying to Self

_

Love it…hate it…indifferent to it…it’s going to work on you in any event.
