In the Crook of the Shepherd: Unanswered Prayers

http://goodshepherdmusic.blogspot.com/2008/06/unanswered-prayers.html

Tuesday, June 10, 2008. On a more personal note. Ever have one of those series of experiences that really makes you wonder about your life? About whether you are really connecting with the people YOU feel like you are? I think this lesson applies to these two women and their pursuit of happiness. If I was to be selfish and want them in my life more, then maybe they wouldn't have found these great men who make them so happy. I would have stood in the way of their voice being heard. I used to pray to God t...

Garden of Gethsemane: January 2007

http://gardenofgethsemane.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html

A Lutheran Pastor's Blog on Theology, Liturgy, and Church. Wednesday, January 17, 2007. 2nd Sunday after Epiphany. It's been awhile since I've gone ablogging, so here is my new post. It is taken from my last sermon. Grace, peace, and mercy from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. That God gives man wine to cheer his heart. One of the Messianic signs. Alluded to in our Old Testament lesson is that, “The mountains shall. Good here and a sign of the Messianic kingdom. Blesses that couple with His firs...

Garden of Gethsemane: Missions Gone Wild

http://gardenofgethsemane.blogspot.com/2008/05/missions-gone-wild.html

A Lutheran Pastor's Blog on Theology, Liturgy, and Church. Monday, May 12, 2008. Thanks to 'the Old Parson' for posting this blog. It's bad enough when members of the synod try to accommodate the Divine Service to reformed sensibilities, but to have the chair of the missions department at one of the Concordia's suggest that we should accommodate it to Muslim sensibilities is unthinkable. The gist of the Professor's proposals is that we should alter Christianity itself, at least in the Muslim mission cont...

Garden of Gethsemane: The Kingdom of Heaven Belongs to Such as These

http://gardenofgethsemane.blogspot.com/2010/09/kingdom-of-heaven-belongs-to-such-as.html

A Lutheran Pastor's Blog on Theology, Liturgy, and Church. Tuesday, September 21, 2010. The Kingdom of Heaven Belongs to Such as These. On the surface, my friend is right; baptism is not explicitly mentioned. But the failure to see the connection between this text and the Sacrament of Baptism says something about the way he views Baptism as well as revealing the way he does theology. First, what does Scripture tell us Baptism does? How can the kingdom of heaven belong to the little ones? Children become ...

In the Crook of the Shepherd: Oh yeah.. September's WiTW

http://goodshepherdmusic.blogspot.com/2008/09/oh-yeah-septembers-witw.html

Friday, September 12, 2008. Oh yeah. September's WiTW. Is there room in the church for organ, piano, violin and guitar? Is there room in the church for English, Latin, Spanish, and Polish? Can there be priests in the church who speak very theologically and others who tell stories or jokes during their homilies? Can there be masses that are uplifting and exciting and others that are more solemn and reflective? All indicators I have show me the answer is YES! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

In the Crook of the Shepherd: May 2007

http://goodshepherdmusic.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html

Wednesday, May 30, 2007. I had my first funeral as Director of Worship on Monday this week. With the memorial service on Monday evening and funeral Tuesday morning, I was sooooo nervous. What if I didn't pick the right songs? What if my guitar playing was something that they didn't care for? What if I forgot about a part of the service? Thursday, May 24, 2007.
