@toddwilken That's like saying Dutch and English are the same language.

The Family is not only an institution, but a foundation, the foundation of nearly all institutions.

We were pleased to have The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod President Dr. Matthew C. Harrison as preacher during our Wednesday chapel service at the Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus. Harrison both delivered the sermon and assisted with the distribution of the Lord's Supper.

I previously wrote about Finland's prosecution of Christian Democrat MP Päivi Räsänen for raising objections to homosexuality. https://t.co/jl8XPa2G0C She has now been convicted in an evisceration of free speech values... https://t.co/7aPs8ebNS1

I can’t express how enraging and unjust this decision is.

No one ever filed a complaint about her pamphlet written 20 years ago. The prosecutors only found out because of a witch hunt after her Bible tweet, dredging anything they could up.

11 judges over three levels of courts over 5 years looked at her case. 8 would fully acquit, but 3 decided that a handful of lines were “too” offensive. So Paivi must be made a criminal.

How is that in any way justice?

On top of that, they order the pamphlet destroyed and removed from the internet. Truly Year Zero, Orwellian thinking. Conservative Christian beliefs made a perpetual crime.

Through it all, Paivi has exemplified a truly Christlike spirit. This ordeal should have been over today, but it isn’t.

This decision should outrage the world over how extreme the European “hate speech” regime has become.

Neo-Pagans have sometimes forgotten, when they set out to do everything that the old pagans did, that the final thing the old pagans did was to get christened.

@ThomasEWoods I know what Luther would of thought because my STM thesis was on Thomas Muntzer the father of all this nonsense. If you want a Protestant pastor who is an expert on Anabaptistism to inform your viewers, I will gladly do so.

[Rev. Roger Drinnon @RevDrinnon]

@RevJimPierce @lutheranpeasant I don't think Walther could imagine the world we live in at all so he cannot directly address it. Maybe there was a contention of Lutherans that were more Anabaptist/sectarian but we appeal to the confessions not their judgements.

[Rev. Roger Drinnon @RevDrinnon]

@RevJimPierce @lutheranpeasant I explained on a thread that calling the Kaiser is a Christian Nationalist is an anachronism at best and sloppy history at worst. The Saxons rejected the King from making declarations on doctrine, NOT that society should be formed by Scriptural principles.

@elonmusk Joy is not found in wealth but in the treasure of the blood of Jesus. I don't know if you will ever read this but I pray you experience the joy of Jesus's forgiveness. Exploring outer space is exploring the mind of God. Find purpose in God's calling for you.

How does a congregation foster faith that lasts in the young people of the church? The Rev. Roger Drinnon and Katrina Drinnon join us to talk about the call they received to St. Paul’s and the assignment they were given: working with the youth ministry.

Merry Christmas to all! Remember the most important thing, Christ is born for you.

My thread on the intellectual laziness of calling the Prussian Union Church "Christian Nationalism." More could be said about the influence of Stanley Hawerwas and Anabaptistism in the Synod. His influence has created a huge mess regarding the Lutheran teaching on the two realms.

A thread as promised on the Prussian Union 1/🧵
The Prussian Union is being used as a warning against “Christian Nationalism.” This is a false analogy.
The Union (1817) was a state-imposed theological merger that subordinated confession to political unity.

[Rev. Roger Drinnon @RevDrinnon]

13/ That is my thread on this. I would like to see research on the voices against Christian Nationalism that are/were practical Erastinians during Covid. I think that somewhere down the road, there is a PhD in this.

12/ The governors were from the two major parties so this was a bipartisan problem. But there was hardly any energy by leading Confessional voices directed against those governors regarding mandating the church to do online communion especially when it mattered and costed most.
