“Jesus’ ministry as a teacher and as an example…was a failure.”

Posted on March 25, 2012 by theoldadam

 

I told Pastor Mark that I thought this was a great sermon, and he said, “It was all Forde. It was all Gerhard Forde.”

‘Back to grace…again.’ – Another very Lutheran sermon.

Posted on March 23, 2012 by theoldadam

I think you’ll like this one…up until the part about how God acts for us in Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.  ( I sincerely hope that I am wrong about that )

Then, hopefully, you will be steered back to “grace…again.” ( I hope I am right about that…for myself, as well)

Taking all this God stuff just a bit too far…

Posted on March 12, 2012 by theoldadam

Jesus, I mean.  Whipping people in the Temple.  Turning over their tables.   Driving them out.

Pastor Mark asks us, “how would we react today to such a display of passion?”

What gives?  I mean…we don’t act that way where God is concerned.  Do we?

Two HUGE issues for a proper understanding of the Christian faith, and assurance, and freedom

Posted on February 29, 2012 by theoldadam

 

If you get one, or both of these issues wrong…then you will be sent inward for your assurance.

If you have a proper understanding of both, then you can forget about looking inward and instead look outside of yourself…to God…and HAVE REAL ASSURANCE.

  Listen to this one:>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 Too many in the church have never heard these things…and need to hear them.

 Too much is at stake.

Thanks, once again to Pastor Mark.
