Later Wesleyan and pietist movements: holiness and temperance « Churchmouse Campanologist:
Two of last week’s posts introduced pietism. The first explored its origins in Germany and the second examined its expansion in Methodism.
As we saw, pietism is based on the theology of Christian perfection, which comes from the perfection of Christ. Whilst all Christians are enjoined to sanctification — bearing increasingly holy attitudes and behaviours as a result of God’s grace and the Holy Spirit working through them — the danger is semi-Pelagianism. A list of proscribed activities — dancing, drinking and smoking — is not only a form of legalism but gives some believers in Arminian (‘free will’) denominations the idea that they can save themselves by obeying this checklist of behaviours.

Session Title: Making Money God’s Way
Presenter: Mark Jeske
Do you want your business endeavors to be lucrative? Is it possible for them to be lucrative without the “filthy lucre” part? The Bible has some severe warnings about materialism and the idolatry of loving money, but is it inherently sinful to want to build your family’s wealth? Join Pastor Jeske for a walk through the Book of Proverbs to find God-pleasing ways to make money.

Re: "A Workshop on Modern Artistry in Lutheran Worship."
Is there a place for Confessional Lutheran called workers in WELS now that the WELS Communications Services is endorsing/promoting Koine/WLC events (Koine is the "official" [paid?] "house band" of WLC http://koinemusic.com/index.php/news/2-band-news/123-koine-partners-with-wisconsin-lutheran-college)?:
