Rev. David Sidwell replied to Jon Townsend's discussion But is "Christian News" Right About the Lutheran Blogosphere?"When I was at St. Louis we used to get a complimentary copy of CN. Most guys just put them on top of the garbage can assuming they would be recycled. So one day a "politically active" (my words at the time were less sanctified) seminarian…"
Jon Townsend replied to Matt Harrison's discussion Nietzsche and Nihilism"One of the odder moments of all of my studies, was when I heard a jewish professor, who lost his family in the holocaust, teach us about Nietsche. He thought it was an overstatement to say or write that Nietsche's philosophy was part of the…"

Jon Townsend commented on Jen's blog post Tweaking our confessions"Jen:
I think it is a "North of the City wasteland" unless you maybe want to drive all the way up to Ray Township or something. The West Side offers many many more opportunities, both LCMS and WELS that practice the historic liturgy without…"

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and Open Communion
I have written this disclaimer before:
Have you ever had the misfortune of hearing what Todd Wilken calls the “Three Stories and a Moral” sermon? Using the Wilken diagnostic, it is not Christian preaching at all.
What makes the “Three Stories and a Moral” sermon even worse is when the preacher drags out something from the “Christian” cartoonist Charles Schulz as one of the three stories. I’ve heard the “three stories..” sermon using… Continue

He needs out prayers, and some money wouldn't hurt either. Please see below from the LHF website http://www.lhfmissions.org/Page.aspx?pid=314

We missed you guys at the Apologetics Conference which was so good with some 20+ young Muslims there. They were fascinated with Dr. Francisco, who did such a wonderful job. Unfortunately, he didn't turn on the mp3 recorder for the first half of his talk, but we have the second on our website.
Wondering what topic you might like to see at our Third Annual Conference in October?
Blessings in Christ!
