Any church that accepts federal money is forfeiting its moral position. Federal money carries with it federal control, which can be expanded to any activity of the organization receiving the money at the whim of the government. We have seen…"

Dr. George C. Adams commented on Rev. Kurt Hering's blog post New Improved, Brand Refreshed Triple-Cross"Pastor Hering:
I am also rather mystified by the lack of discussion before the change was made. It may be an adiaphoron, but we have had enough of decisions from "on high" by the previous administration and the seeming preoccupation on the…"
Dr. George C. Adams commented on Glenn Scowcroft's blog post Greatest Threat To The Pure Doctrine of The Lord's Supper"Glenn:
Thank you for these postings. Sadly, not enough of the faithful in LCMS own or read The Book of Concord and in all too many congregations, it is only paid lip service. Based on our doctrinal standards, we must always be ready to give a…"
Dr. George C. Adams commented on Larry James Siefken's blog post Northwest District churches shrink when trying to grow by imposing works on members"Larry:
Having left a church in Idaho Falls, Northwest District, I can attest to the works centeredness of this approach. The church will grow or shrink according to God's will and according to our faithfulness to His Word. He tells us that His…"
Dr. George C. Adams replied to James Robertson's discussion United Methodist bishops say they'll uphold ban on same-sex unions"Another example of bifurcated theology. Methodists will ordain women, in contradiction to God';s Word, but not bless same-sex unions. Good for their bishops in sustaining their ban on this abomination. But, where is their fidelity to Holy…"

Adams replied to Jonathan Caspersen's discussion ELCA Dissent & Authority of Scripture in the group Ask the Pastor"The contradiction stems exactly from the preference of liberal "theologians" for using a smorgasbord approach to Holy Scripture and its authority.

Trinity Sermons
I would like to call everyone's attention to two solid Lutheran sermons preached by Reverend David Bott at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Jackson, WY. These are among his best sermons in the four plus years of which I have been a member. I commend them to your viewing. The sermons may be found at the Redeemer Web Site: Redeemerlutheranjackson.org

Veiled Slander and Rebuttal
Jesus First has reached a new low in its attacks on Pastor Harrison. Their JF#9 letter implies that there is fiscal irresponsibility and lack of careful stewardship under Pastor Harrison's leadership. This tactic is despicable and a clear violation of the Eighth Commandment - and this from men who assert they are "Gospel Centered, faithful Lutherans.

Redeemer, jackson, WY
Through the hard work of two members at Redeemer, Kiley Campbell and Marvin Cotney, videos of sermons delivered by Rev. David Bott are available at our web site redeemerlutheranjackson.org. Pastor Bott's sermons are solid Law & Gospel sermons and, in or opinion, well worth viewing.

The View from Wyoming
We have been watching what one of our members calls the "Food Fight in Oakland." The CNH District's suit against four members of Our Redeemer, Oakland has hit You Tube and also been all over ConcordTX and MNN. A number of us at Redeemer, Jackson, WY have discussed this and done some research. There is still a great confusion as to what is really going on. But the incident prompted one of our members (and WT member) Randy Bosch to write the following. It is very germane to the situation in Synod… Continue

Nothing New Under the Sun
Writings of St. Basil the Great bemoaning the impact of Arian heresy on the Church. I guess this proves there is no new heresy or sin under the sun. It makes for disturbingly relevant reading for our own time and Synod.
Our afflictions are well known without my telling; the sound of them
has gone forth over all Christendom. The dogmas of the Fathers are despised;
apostolic traditions are set at naught; the discoveries of innovators hold
sway in churches. Men have… Continue

Raymond Parent said… - Dr. Adams,
Thank you for your kind comments on my most recent sermon. The theology of glory seems to be taking our beloved church by storm. In the district in which I serve, being a purpose filled Christian in a purpose filled church is the popular message of the day. Life under the Cross of Christ is shuned, God is removed from our churches and Jesus from our altars and worship. I ruffle feathers when I preach such messages, but such messages need to be preached. It is only by the grace of God that I have the strength to do so. Soli Deo Gloria!

Tom Shepherd said… - Thanks for commenting on the picture of my FJ-40. I bought it new in March 1977. That summer, I took the top off and drove it from WY to CA and back. Except for being sunburned, windburned, and almost deaf, I had a great time. My two oldest nephews came along for the trip.
About a year and a half ago, I had quite a bit of body work done, and a new paint job (original color). That cost me almost exactly the same as the Cruiser cost new! Now I need to work on the exhaust and some interior work, and it will be like new.

I see you must know German? The CLCC has put together a seminar/conference titled "Your Reformation Walk". Gene White, who wrote it has many beautiful pictures of churches in Germany and Europe. I think he discovered a lot of great dark beer there, too. You may enjoy having the seminar come to your area. If Lutherans learn to appreciate our heritage and roots, and how firm our forefathers were in their stand of what we believe and why we believe it, they will come to appreciate being Lutheran again.
