| Happy Birthday, Pastor Jim Shrader |
Long ago, at Augustana College in Rock Island, someone gave a lecture where he mentioned a club gathered to discuss various philosophical topics. I thought that sounded great, but I never saw anything developing like that.
This morning, one pastor asked me on Facebook, "Zwingli said that?" That revived the memory from college. That reminded me that the idea promoted by the Augustana professor's lecture was already true for us at Bethany Lutheran Church, which pre-existed blogging but grew from blogging about Christian doctrine. The Word of God accomplishes so much, we should stand back from planning goals and trust in the Means of Grace.
We have all kinds of pleasant discussions about Christian teaching, past events, the future, and various ways to scatter the living seed, the Word. Therefore we have many different talents used to accomplish this.
National events matter too. The press secretary quoted John 3:16 in her latest tweet.
