A few years ago, Issues ETC. host Todd Wilken wrote a great piece for the Issues ETC. Journal called “Playing The Pharisee Card”. Here’s the start to that article, which I think is one of Pastor Wilken’s finest: “I have been called a Pharisee more times than I can remember. It goes with the territory. I host a conservative Christian radio talk show. I publicly defend the teachings and practices of the historic Church. I also publicly point out false... Read more

This is my last Advent sermon. It’s about the Temple, the Annunciation, and the Baptism of a little boy named Noah (which made the Flood Prayer even a little bit better than usual). Texts: 2 Samuel 7:1–11,16; Romans 16:25–27; Luke 1:26–38. I look like a pirate in the screen capture. Read more

My pastor’s sermon from this past Sunday. The title above is what I have assigned to it. The bold is mine. “And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David” Luke 1:32 Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Crown Prince William and his wife Kate were in New York City last week. William will become King of England, once his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth dies or abdicates, and his father, Prince Charles dies or abdicates. That... Read more
Today’s pseudepodcast featured the return of Trent to the hallowed halls of the…of the…oh, dear. This is certainly falling apart… Today the pseudepodcasting trio put their thinking-caps part of the way on and had a discussion about the history and use of relics and what Lutherans think of them. Or what at least three Lutherans think of them. You may be surprised; you may not be. There’s only one way to find out… Featured Content: Lutheranism and Holy Ground/Sacred... Read more
On today’s program I discussed the doctrine of election and the debates over the subject which have existed in Lutheranism since the nineteenth century. I tried to show that there are four different positions which have been held among Lutherans, and that holding to intuitu fidei (though wrong) does not necessarily make one a synergist.
