Martin Chemnitz Press on Facebook, Twitter Soon




I added a Martin Chemnitz Press page to Facebook.

I will put updates and other material there and link them to Twitter.

A Reformed minister from Indonesia was pleased to learn about free PDF downloads from Martin Chemnitz Press, so he recommended them to his FB friends. That led me to set up a page on FB for the books.

If you go there and click "Like" you will move the page a few steps closer to competing with the pages of professional wrestlers and rock stars.

Church Is the Human Outworking of the Person of Jesus...Let's Be the Church

___One Church - Two Locations
"Be The Church" Series_

   September 12th kicked off our vision sermon series with St. Peter Lutheran
   Church and The CORE, “Don’t Just Go To Church - Be The Church”. Pastor Ski,
   Pastor Sievert, and Pastor Tim preached on being devoted to God’s Word,
   People, and Mission. Here is what we learned:

   In week 1, we were reminded that church is a place that God uses to create
   and strengthen our faith. He does this through his Word and Sacraments.
   Church is also a place that God uses to draw us to Him. We don’t go to
   church because we are saints; we go to church knowing that we are broken
   sinners that need to be told and reminded what Jesus has done for us through
   the message of the gospel. We are thankful to our God for providing a place
   for his people to gather.

   In week 2, we learned that the church is about more than just the building.
   Christians belong to Christ and to each other. The CORE’s building has never
   officially “belonged” to them. It was during this series, that Pastor Ski
   announced another church has put in an offer on the Big Picture (The CORE’s
   current location) and that offer has been accepted. Thank you for all of the
   prayers and support during this transitional time. In the next few weeks
   Pastor Ski will be announcing where The CORE’s new home will be. Please
   understand that this does not mean that the ministry is ending, it only
   means that the building and location from which the ministry operates from
   will be changing.

   In week 3, Pastor Tim reminded all of us that God’s mission is to reach
   people who are lost. Pastor Tim also reminded us that have the privilege of
   sharing the gospel of Christ with all people. For it is that gospel that
   works faith and leads sinners to the cross. It is that message that broken
   sinners are told and reminded that Jesus is their Savior.

   The next sermon series at The CORE will be “... And Other Dark Things” the
   series starts October 3rd and ends October 31st.

   _Neighborhoods and Small Group Update_

   Our fall neighborhood groups officially kicked off on September 12th.
   Sign-up was held for 3 weeks in the lobby and has now ended. New group
   sign-up will resume after the first of the year.

_Nine New Members at
The CORE_

   The CORE was proud to welcome 7 new members and 2 confirmand students. As
   part of their welcome, we played videos of their story and how God led them
   to our church. We are all just a small part in the Lord's big story.

   Thank you to our new members for sharing their story and being a part of
   God's mission. It was in these videos that we learned just how big our God
   really is and the incredible ways that He moves in
   our lives.

   _Looking Ahead_...

   _"...And Other Dark Things"
   _October 3rd - 31st

   _"Gifted"

Church isn’t where you meet. Church isn’t a building. Church is what you do.
   

Church is who you are. Church is the human outworking of the person of Jesus   Christ. Let’s not go to Church, let’s  be the Church. - 
Bridget Willard

Abortion on Demand, Global Terror - Funded by Thrivent



Remember, folks, Appleton is Thrivent.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. (W)ELS has been financing this through their contributions to LWR (Lutheran World Relief). LWR is a hobby horse of the newly elected "Conservative" LCMS synod president Harrison. Thrivent is the middle man in most of these monetary exchanges between the men and women in (W)ELS pews and the murderous horde who slaughter "other" people's children.

1 April 2008, New York
Ted Turner, Chairman of the United Nations Foundation (UNF), announced a collaborative effort with the United Methodist Church and Lutheran World Relief, to fight malaria in Africa. The announcement was presented during a special thematic debate of the United Nations General Assembly which took place on the 1st and 2nd of April. Together with the UNF, the organizations strive to raise US $200 million to fight the spread of malaria, and to contribute to achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.

At a press conference held jointly with Srgjan Kerim, the President of the General Assembly, Mr. Turner stated: "Had it not been for the UN, humanity would have gone a long time ago."

Ted Turner on forced population reduction - genocide
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=ted+turner+population+control&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=37132dca8f7438ee

Millennium Development Goals,
Include depopulating the world. United Nations estimates that 6 billion of the nearly 6.5 billion people on the planet need to be eliminated.

In 1996, Turner stated in an interview with Audubon Magazine that a 95% population reduction would be ideal. Below is his quote. “A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal." http://www.jonesreport.com/article/04_08/28turner_911.html

These Are Global Warming Propaganda Messages - Not For Children


Imagine the mental deterioration of those who engage in this kind of communication. I cannot.


Angry, Bitter Apostates




The Church and Money Changers are eager to name-call. Anyone who disagrees with them is called angry, bitter, disgruntled, legalistic, crazy, hate-filled.

They often advise each other that I "hate the Wisconsin Synod." That is based on their reading of this blog. What they cannot face is 95% of the material comes from their own pastors and members.

One of them phoned me once, drunk and screaming. He wanted to know where all the information came from. I said, "From your own pastors." He took a few seconds to take it in, realized it had to be true, and slammed down the phone.

Read this out loud Shrinkers, so you can remember this - This blog is fueled by what you have done to destroy the Lutheran Church. Members and pastors of your synod forward me links. They do research on their own. They phone and email me. Somehow they find me instead of talking behind my back (no they are not like you cowards).

That means I get perspectives from all the synods except ELCA, and I am in contact with those who have left ELCA. Can you imagine that? An ELCA member I have never met can contact me directly and yet the whiners, boozers, and skirt-chasers of the Synodical Conference cannot.

I use my own recollections to show "the child is the father of the man" as the poet once said. The cowardly, greedy actions of 25 years ago are bearing fruit today. I should suppress those facts?

 Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "Huge ELCA Church Votes To Leave - WELS Is Also To...":

Forgot to mention Pastor Jeske (W)ELS and his TV program Time of Grace working with LCMS Recognized Service Organization status, and being promoted as an LCMS program, while still a member of the (W)ELS. (W)ELS heads are still spinning from the blinding speed at which decisive action was taken by the Synod SP and DP's to correct that blatant display of unionism.

The New Age Church and Change group has taken over the (W)ELS and they're making an absolute mockery of the synods. History will record what has occurred and will list the names of so many people who helped make it happen, who rolled over in their sleep while they're kids were taught to pervert the Gospel of Justification by Faith Alone, view the Confessions as just another error prone book written by just another group of sinful human beings and in exchange they'll worship the swollen feet of the Synodical false teachers and sell their souls for a few years of warm fuzzy fellowship void of the oppressiveness of doctrine but with nostrils full of the stench that comes from the rotting carcasses of the Synods.

How's that for over doing it? Sad part is, it's true. Look your children in the face tonight and tell them you, by the grace of God, are doing everything you can to expose and refute false doctrine and practice in your church and Synod for the benefit of Christ's Church. Tell them you are, by the grace and mercy of God, doing everything you can to promote and defend the pure Word of Scripture as it's correctly explained in the Lutheran Confessions for the eternal benefit of Christ's Church.

All of us must remember to walk by faith and not by sight. When we refute error and stand by the truth of God's Word, we may not see the fruit of this within our short lives here on earth. Furthermore, we do not do this to gain recognition. All glory goes to God, who gave us eternal life by faith in Christ. We have been warned to expect mocking and abuse. Those who treasure their status and position in a Holy Mother Synod are weak kneed. They do not stand on Christ, the Solid Rock.
