We have had Bible studies in our church on justification so much that I am pretty sure I understand it as well as I possibly can. This weekend I ran across the following Facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/schulzcj?fref=ts ‎"The LCMS along with the WELS insisted on the words, that...

Every Sunday morning our church puts out a 'sermonette' on our local radio station, given by our Pastor. Today, in the announcements after our church service, Pastor 'warned' us that we may hear some questions or comments by locals in the community regarding this week's broadcast. He gave us all...

It's funny how congregations can get into the habit of singing mostly the same hymns all the time, and there are some that we never sing. Thank God for our new Vicar, who goes through our Hymnary in diligent search of the perfect hymns to fit his sermon. We had a couple 'new' hymns (to our...

This thread is probably a bad idea, but I just have to get this off my chest. This section of TCL is designated for the more conservative Lutheran denominations. It is meant as a 'safe haven' from arguments of the more liberal denominations. I am fully aware that we have differences amongst...

Gee, I don't usually start threads... I just pop in and give my opinion! I was lurking around in GT and they were talking about Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection in regards to the # of days it was (what day he died, and rose). And it got me wondering. This is in reference to this verse...

Hi all, I have been looking and looking all over the internet for any info on this: Today my boss said he heard on a local radio station that this Digital TV swich is not just for TV but for radio also, and today the radio stations will also be switching to all-digital. If you have a radio that...

This past Sunday was Mission Festival at our church. Our guest speaker was a seminary student from our Lutheran College. His homeland is India- one of 2 Indian seminary students we have from the growing church body in India. A question was asked about persecution of Christians in India. The...

Hi there everyone! A member of our church emailed a sermon to me today to give to my DH as words of encouragement- she had found comfort in this devotion when she was laid up for 3 months after ankle surgery. I read it over and it is SO comforting- for anyone and everyone who is struggling. My...

Hello all! I got an email the other day advertising PC Pitstop Optimize 2.0 as a way to clean up your hard drive, make it run more efficiently, etc. Has anyone used this program, and does it work? I have a 2003 Dell, pretty basic computer, with Windows XP. My hard drive (30 gb) is about full...

I just purchased an external hard drive for my computer. "My Book" (I think is the name) by Western Digital. 160 gb. I got it because my old 2003 Dell (Windows XP) only had 30 gb and the hard drive was almost full (less than 3 gb left). I can't even defrag my old drive because it says it...

I found this link in another thread http://www.lcms.org/pages/rpage.asp?NavID=12837 I was wondering - what is it that the LCMS hopes to accomplish by being involved in this dialog? I can't see how there could ever be an agreement on doctrine - so, what is the point? Just curious.

It's that time of year, when we all have the Christmas tunes going! I put up our tree Saturday and baked cookies and really got in the mood by listening to my Mannheim Steamroller Christmas CD's. Then I played my Tran Siberian Orchestra Christmas Cds and can't decide which I like the best! I...

Hello everyone, Late last night I was watching TV and a commercial ran advertising a brochure talking about ADHD that you could get by going to the web site or calling the 800 #. Of course I thought (silly me) that I would easily remember the website today, to go sign up for the brochure, and I...

Thank you for the blessings, MrFreshDew! I have lots to learn about all the features of this forum, and look forward to great experiences here! P.S. - I couldn't find any other way of thanking as I see I can't reply to PM's until I have 5 posts! Hope this way is ok!

Hello everyone! I came across this site from a link from another forum site about religion. I saw that this site is geared more towards Christians, (hence the name Christian Forums) rather than everything under the sun, and thought I would check it out. As you can see from my user name, I'm a...
