Wow, that's pretty sad actually. The country founded on the idea of a Christian government, not a theocracy though, is actually one of those needing missionaries the most. I was reading in "Stars and Stripes" the other day about how the gang wars in Mexico have brought up a new cult focusing on...

Most of my mom's side of the family is ELCA, they live in central Illinois. I know even their churches are having huge problems with the current issues. My grandpa and Aunt's church is about to split from ELCA and go to LCMS. My other Aunt and Uncle's church though, not so good. The district...

From a soldier's point of view...awesome movie...hit it dead on, minus the part where the guy runs around in central Baghdad on foot. That's how one gets their head lopped off on the internet. Other than that, awesome movie.

Wow..looks like I missed a lot since I posted last. I appreciate everyone's care and concern for my soul. I truly do. So thank you. I also wish to apologize for allowing this thread to go the way it did toward arguing and bickering. We are all Christians here, instead of arguing, we should lift...

I believe that my soul is prepared, so it would be worth it for someone to receive Christ. A soul is worth far more than any life. IMHO

Thanks for the tip Tangible ;-). Well, it's gonna be in a grape juice bottle, so if anyone asks, I'll just be honest and say, "well I guess the juice just fermented is all...oops." Besides, I have a greater allegiance to Christ than to the military, as loyal as I am, God comes first. I don't...

I know that the WELS doesn't send out missionaries to war torn countries, such as in Africa and the Middle East. Does LCMS have a program for that? I don't know if there are any military veterans on here, but they would more than likely know exactly what I'm talking about. I see so many...

Well, thank you very much Preacherswife for asking your husband. It's nice to get a second opinion on the matter. The whole wine and grape juice thing is pretty difficult actually. Does anybody know how to turn grape juice into wine? I'm kinda curious in fact. And Angel was very helpful to me...

Haha, well why not? Lets just get to the bottom of things. Thanks Preacher!

Aibrean, I am WELS, so that explains our differences right there. I'm not trying to start a debate on communion here. I just had a question that was answered by my own pastor at home. All I know is that God will take care of my situation out here. He doesnt want me to be kept from this...

Oh yeah Catholics have beautiful churches, and to hear something like that would give me the chills.

Thank you very

I know he wrote the music for "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring", but I know he wrote others. Does anybody know of some of his other works?

Well, the fact of the matter is that my pastor back home talked with my dad about giving me communion over the internet. My pastor also said that because my dad is a prior elder, and used to distribute the Lord's Supper along with the pastor, he could give me the sacraments. That's all the...

Amen to that!:thumbsup:

Okay, sounds like the two of us are in the same boat. It would be very nice to go to a liturgical service.

yeah, it's a no no. We do have an abundance of near-beer over here though. It has a whopping .3% alcohol content.Not very good I'm afraid. One would think that the army would make exceptions on the wine though due to religious use. We're not allowed alcohol because of the muslim faith, but when...

I talked to my dad who used to be an elder in my church and he told me my pastor said it would be ok for my dad to give me communion over Skype, they just need to mail me the Eucherist, I just need to get the grape juice. Problem solved! Thanks for the names, I'll still try to track down one of...

That's very true thanks for the tip ;-)

Yeah, your son and I both in it together I guess, wish him luck for me. I didn't get to attend a single service, but I did get to watch some of them online because my church back home has them on their website. The Grace of God truly is everywhere. Easter morning I was on a mission and even as...
