    communion question

    We have both. It's up to the communicant to decide what they want to use. They are offered the individual cups first and if they don't choose that, the pastor comes around with the chalice.

    Wedding after kids having private ceremony?

    You shouldn't have any issues with it. 1 Corinthians 7:9 But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion. They don't need to even do an official ceremony. I think it's nice that they would consider something to that end. I've...

    Pregnacy with PCOS

    I actually ended up getting pregnant from the ovarian drilling. The little one is just about to hit 19 mo :) We weren't "trying" at the time either because I hadn't had a period in a few months.

    Contraception?

    Firstly, it depends on the synod. The ELCA is not entirely pro-life (see http://download.elca.org/ELCA%20Resource%20Repository/AbortionSS_Summary.pdf). Because of this, there is a shift on contraception itself between synods. The ELCA does not have a position regarding any abortifacient...

    33 Christians executed in North Korea. Why does God allow this?

    What I'm saying is we shouldn't be surprised God allows it. I will also say that "Christian" in the USA is watered-down. Too many sheep that follow the wolves.

    33 Christians executed in North Korea. Why does God allow this?

    The Bible shows us time and time again that the Christian walk is not easy and there will be persecution. There are also many different kinds. While we don't have executions here in the USA, we still get ostracized for not accepting homosexual activity or being forced to pay for things/provide...

    German Bier

    I'm more of a wine drinker. I just don't drink very much. I think it actually can be used as a solid tool for witnessing. I mean, you're a Christian and you drink alcohol...plenty of people would be asking why. I think jeff that going the path you are can easily slip into legalism. When we are...

    Anti-evolution - LCMS?

    Could you believe that God was capable of creating an "old earth" in 6 days? After all, he also created a man - not a baby.

    Why Do We Care So Much?

    Incorrect interpretation of scriptures can lead to dangerous consequences. See a sampling: Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to...
