Pastor Mike Joynt (Trail Guide, AZ) replied to Larry Hughes's discussion 'Advice'

Larry, If you cannot get there yourself can you contact a Pastor to go visit? In my brief time in the ministry (3 years) I have probably visited 6 or 7 people in this kind of situation. I pray and proclaim and trust in the Spirit. Usually people…

Pastor Mike Joynt (Trail Guide, AZ) replied to Dan's discussion 'Request for your opinions - Other Christians'

Dan, Be at peace - these problems are God's problems. This is not to minimize the importance. Rather we confess the truth, do the work God has put in front of us, and trust in God. Are heterodox Christians saved? As long as they believe…

Pastor Mike Joynt (Trail Guide, AZ) replied to Quinn M's discussion 'Why do we Pray?'

Alicia, At a gut level I agree with both your points, but I think scripture says the opposite. I think we are encouraged to be whiny children before God. (The syro-phonecian woman, mark 7 & matt 15; the persistent widow Luke 18; the impudent…

Pastor Mike Joynt (Trail Guide, AZ) replied to Austin Pooley's discussion 'How do I respond well to this question?'

Pastor Mike Joynt (Trail Guide, AZ) replied to Rev. Alan J. Wollenburg's discussion 'LAW and GOSPEL' in the group Trail Guide Forum

Stephen, The thread has gone to deep so it will not let me reply to your last reply, but I am going to anyway. I think your summation is excellent. I agree with points one and two. It is also true in my experience that some Lutherans want to react…

Pastor Mike Joynt (Trail Guide, AZ) replied to Rev. Alan J. Wollenburg's discussion 'LAW and GOSPEL' in the group Trail Guide Forum

Stephen, Sorry for the delay in response. These issues are complicated, subject to semantical difficulty, and not necessarily as easily divisible as we might like. So attempts to properly understand sometimes come to frustration rather than…

Pastor Mike Joynt (Trail Guide, AZ) replied to Rev. Alan J. Wollenburg's discussion 'LAW and GOSPEL' in the group Trail Guide Forum

Stephen, It is my experiences that Lutheran are not consistent on whether sanctification is monergistic or not. I think this is more a terminology question than a doctrine disagreeement. Monergism does not really mean we do nothing, but rather that…
