Pope Benedict on “The Burning Question of Martin Luther”

Posted on September 25, 2011 by theoldadam

 

Luther's 95 theses by honecr5

The-Internet-Monk-Pope-Benedict-on-“The-Burning-Question-of-Martin-Luther”

Good stuff there on how the Roman Catholic Church and Pope Benedict are working towards   unity with Protestants and Lutherans. 

 

 

There was much at stake then. And there is  much at stake now.

__________________________________________________________

Listen in to Pastor Mark’s sermon today that ties in very nicely to this issue of Martin Luther speaking out for the freedom of the Christian, and the freedom of God to save real sinners and to work His will in our lives, apart from religious spirituality projects that are foisted upon us by the church…or by ourselves.

Baptism, Vocation, and staying off the spiritual Christian progression project…

Posted on September 20, 2011 by theoldadam

 

Pastor Mark’s class this past Sunday.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

click here >Baptism, Vocation, and staying off the spiritual Christian progression project

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

In minute 27 he reveals the 4 secrets to Christ-like spiritual growth and lets out of the bag the exact substance that angels wings are made of (and where you can purchase this heavenly material). Just kidding. You can’t buy the stuff…you have to earn it by your steadfast obedience.

Bridge by Caryn Hughes

Here’s Pastor Mark’s sermon for the 87th Sunday after Pentecost (or whatever…actually I think it’s the 12th Sunday after Pentecost):

There’s a nifty little prayer by Martin Luther in this sermon that you might want to remember.

Then again,you might not (if you really are into the whole ‘holiness project’ thing).

 In Luther's Pulpit (Kirk) by crbassettJoin Pastor Mark as he works from an article by James Nestingen, on how Lutherans understand the Word of God,  and where we (any Christian) derive our authority to preach, teach, and proclaim the Word, and administer the sacraments.
