"...if by a liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties..if that is what they mean by a "liberal" then I am proud to be a liberal."

Hey, would you mind share your favorite Lutheran blogs?
Mine is this: Sarcastic Lutheran
It contains some of the best contextual sermon text I have ever read. Very Lutheran, inclusive, and loving.
This a qoute from this website on the subject of BAPTISM,
"We had a baptism at House for All Sinners and Saints last night. OK, so there are some weird things, some pain-in-the-ass things, some tiring things about being a pastor."
This is really disturbing to say the least. The pastor is full of tattoos and then there is the vocabulary..... I am in shock!

Nadia is real life, and speaks much of what folks think, but is too politically incorrect to say. Now, as far as the above quote goes, one would need to look at it in context with everything else. Her theology is almost always spot on.
That being said, if one is offended by language, and or tatoos... HFASS is likely not the best mission church to attend, nor blog to read.

Defy Satan in times of despair. Say: "O cursed Satan, you choose a nice time to talk to me about doing and working when you know very well that I am in trouble over my sins. I will not listen to you. I will listen to Christ, who says that He came into the world to save sinners. This is the true Christ and there is none other. I can find plenty of examples for a holy life in Abraham, Isaiah, John the Baptist, Paul, and other saints. But they cannot forgive my sins. They cannot save me. They cannot procure for me everlasting life. Therefore I will not have you for my teacher, O Satan."[/SIZE]
