More on the question of impact of the Church in society today, this discussion firmly declares the responsibility which Christians are called to serve by faith – even so to save the lost culture around us. By living as faithful members actively engaged...
This topic discusses issues in the relationship between Church and State in the modern Western world, so evident in the declining faithful community (with report from both the USA and UK). By assessing trends in human thought and secular influences, it...
A key point to recall during Epiphany is this central doctrine on the Justification by faith we receive through Christ alone. We can see all mankind is lost in sin, with need to correct misdeeds. Yet by Christ’s work of atonement we are saved, as God...
This explores more on the topic of integrating Christian faith in India today, with challenging issues of enculturation. For example, inter-faith dialogue can help to define the differences between Christ and the Hindu Avatar. Also, the issue of family...

Looking at the structure of books in the Bible, we can see distinct patterns and themes such as the series of the Septuagint, the message of the Psalms, the character of the Gospels. Further details, such as the order of the Epistles and specific...
The Scriptures can be recognised as such a rich literary resource, which bear prominent significance as for being an historic account enforced with its theological themes and truth. The unique Hebrew culture is deep-rooted throughout the Old Testament,...
By understanding our communion with Christ, we can also better perceive our individual role in the Church. Luther defied the institution of the Church in his day (with its imposed hierarchy) to describe instead the individual ‘priesthood’ as...
Luther served to redefine the idea of the Church in his time (yet offered little instruction on how to operate it most effectively). According to his doctrine, our service should be by adhering to the fundamental principles evident through Christ in the...
An interesting review of a peer of Luther who served at the University of Wittenberg and supported the Protestant movement. Amsdorf helped to clarify the Lutheran theology for the common people, the most essential points concerning the role of God’s...
Further discussion explores Luther’s notion of us being bonded or ‘bound’ to our neighbour, as another member in the Christian family. This derives from trust in God with absolute assurance of all that is provided through Christ: liberating us from...
This treatise by Luther concerning our Christian life and responsibility derives from religious argument in medieval Germany at that time. Being controversial for its criticism of the corrupt Church authority, Luther’s motive was to clarify public...
The preaching and teaching of the Gospel is the topic of this interview with Mark Nixon, teacher of New Testament theology in India
By exploring Christ’s teachings we come to understand the Kingdom of God: not merely a dream for our future, but as a feasible reality here on earth due to be shared in the fellowship of the Church. It is, in fact, by effect of God’s gift of...
To review our understanding of what it means to be human is very revealing. To note the cultural changes that are so diverse and relative to many societies - with different spiritual beliefs - also helps us to consider the current state of Christianity...
Christian Anthropologist Drs Priscilla Garcia, describes a Pentecostal church which emphasis community service: motivated by a notion of 'building The Kingdom.' An interesting overview, resulting from Drs Garcia’s academic research, which...
Here is a vital discussion on living the Christian Life, to consider it as a pilgrimage - walking ‘the Way’ - so as to understand the Divine Laws of beauty, goodness and truth. Through this aesthetic experience, it essentially compels us to improve...
To consider the historic context of the Jewish kingdom helps us to perceive the meaning of Isaiah’s ethereal vision of the King of Glory – and how it applies to us. It aptly illustrates our destructive sinful state to see His holiness elevated above....
To ascertain the principles our Lutheran confessions, it was concurred by the committee that God reveals Himself through the Word: as that which was spoken (through prophecy), written (in Scripture), and embodied in His Son, Jesus Christ. Also we know...
Here is review of a book representing the core values of our confessional Lutheran faith, as it was systematically prepared by a council of the LCMS in the 1980s. It addressed a fundamental need to present the truth of these dogmas in a coherent way,...
The prophetic story of Jonah is remarkable, considering his dismay for God’s mercy which was granted to the Gentiles. Jonah judged that destruction was more fitting for their corruption. However, he was himself notably disobedient to God’s command...
With respect for the function of Church music to unite us into a community for worship, there is now a calling to expand upon the tradition and instruments, introduce new methods and understanding for the next generation of professional Church musicians....
Important issues concern the music scene in Lutheran worship today, considering how Luther brought revolutionary methods to integrate the congregation into the worship service. With respect for the well-established tradition, now is a matter to...
The liturgy and settings for worship in the ELCE has evolved in an interesting way, relative to the immigration of Lutherans to America. As result, over time it produced a vast selection of musical settings applied to different texts. Plans are underway...
There is a great reputation for Lutheran hymnody – renown ever since Luther’s initiative to translate Latin liturgy into the people’s common language to promote wide-spread ministry of God’s Word. So it is similar incentive for producing this...
The fact of Jesus ministry is also verified by external sources. Historic records from the Roman Empire concur with specific dates and locations in the Biblical account; and the earliest references of the “sect” of Jesus’ followers first labelled...
This episode considers the Biblical account of the many witnesses of Christ’s Resurrection, with the diversity of their details in different contexts – from visitors to the empty tomb, to visions of the Risen Christ. Good reason to regard this as...
Sceptics and scientists disclaim the validity of Christ and His ministry due to the miracles He wrought and His Resurrection. This discussion verifies Jesus as Truth through multiple points, notably the eye-witness accounts of the Risen Christ. Also the...
Luke emphasises in his account of Christ’s teaching to the disciples precisely how to cry out with lamenting prayer to God. By examples in parables, Jesus conveys that the manner of approach must be with a contrite and humble spirit. Also in...
Here we consider the practice of lament as a traditional Jewish form of prayer, beseeching the Lord for delivery from tribulation. Luke’s account of Christ reflects specific petitions of lament from the Old Testament Overall, it is affirming Jesus’...
This continuing study of Paul’s distinctive use of lament really emphasises the Gospel message as God’s response. Suffering was predominant in the early Church – personally and collectively – but we, in turn, can find comfort in these things for...
Paul’s Letter to the Romans echoes the cries of lament which are so prominent throughout the Psalms. This is identifiable as a pattern of prayer in most distressing circumstances, by beseeching God for deliverance followed by praise. This certainly...
For the idea of Sanctification as ‘making holy’ it is helpful to review the rituals commanded by God’s Law in the Old Testament. The former sacrifices and cleansing, necessary even to enter the temple, we recognise has been fulfilled for us by...
The concern of how our salvation can be verified has caused for much concern and different understandings within the Christian Church. Dr Tom Winger speaks of his article ‘The Reformation of Salvation’ to explain the Lutheran perception of how we are...
The integrity of this book is a valid response to the academics who strive to invalidate the real physical Resurrection of Christ. With a world view, these critics apply their own rational and philosophical strategy so as to deny the incident as...
Rev Dr John Bombaro introduces the core of his book justifying the Resurrection of Christ against doubt and critical human logic. Respected scholars tend to identify discrepancies in details of the Scriptural accounts, yet the mystic and...
This second review of Lutheran theology scrutinises the Classic logic which fell short in his revelation of the interplay of God’s grace. The Catholic concept of the merit and measure of righteousness incited his defiance posting the 95 theses,...
Here is a review of the different efforts for religious reform which had been pressing prior to the Reformation: regarding the political structure and papal leadership in Rome, individuals such Wycliffe and Huss, civil revolt and logical thinking in the...
The message and language of the Psalms tend to touch deeply to a universal human experience and understanding our relationship with God. Professor Jeffrey Pulse identifies this into three categories and a cyclical pattern which is common throughout the...
The generous gift Christ delivers during this season is His Light promised to ALL the World. Dr Richard Harvey describes the celebration of Hanukkah from the Messianic Jewish perspective, respecting Christ as Lord. His powerful statement, ‘I and the...
This final session refers to the point in the Gospel where Christ commences His ministry by quoting the passage of Isaiah as ‘the Scripture now fulfilled’ through his arrival as the Messianic King. Bartelt identifies this significantly following His...
Isaiah recounts the history of the Jews in captivity, being God’s judgement as consequence for their unfaithfulness. Yet his prophecy declares the promise of grace and delivery due to come. Dr Andrew Bartelt identifies the Old Testament references...
What is Advent all about? Christians count times and seasons with a different calendar than the secular world around them. The Church Year reminds us that God has already come into the world, that He comes to us now through His Word and Sacraments and...
Here is an informative analysis discussing the security granted us by God, which allows for faithful trust and contentment in our lives and sense of order in the World. Dr Robert Kolb opens some interesting aspects of view determining God as ultimate...
Rev Robert Kolb further explores what seems to be a real mystery, the Righteousness which is granted to us: concerning how it is we can be both sinner and saint simultaneously. He elaborates upon Luther’s explanation (e.g. in the Small Catechism) how...
Rev Robert Kolb investigates in this series ‘The Two Kinds of Righteousness’ as understood by Luther, and applicable to our own roles and responsibilities in whatever way of life. As children of God being a product of His Grace, our identity is...
