  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Did Jesus use a bulletin?

This afternoon I ran over to church to finish the bulletin for the morning.

As I was stapeling and folding a visiting pastor poked his head in my office and asked if Jesus used a bulletin...

It is a running joke this week. We did a survey last Sunday asking about projects around the campus and prioritizing them... One of the projects is enlarging pastors office just by taking out a wall... One of the comments was 'Jesus didn't have an office'

as I don't see a single book that He authored in the bible

but He did say that He wrote in our hearts, not quite a bulletin but much more effective

Well, actually, Jesus, as God, authored all the books of the Bible.

You all are funny
Thanks for playing along



We do one service all out of the Hymnal once a month. The other weeks I type out everything in a service folder. Well unless space is tight, I will just reference the hymn number or type out the words if it is a song not in the hymnal.

Did Jesus use a bulletin? Not in the paper sense, as paper was too expensive for the Synagogues (sp?) of his day. Instead, they impressed the order of service upon thier minds from an early age. They MEMORIZED the service, if you will. Something we, as Lutherans, would be wise to emulate. There's nothing wrong with having the Divine Order Of Service memorized. After all, it is almost all scripture! Weren't we admonished to have this (scripture), 'written on our hearts and minds'?

So did Jesus use a bulletin? I suppose in a very non-literal way, you could say he did. As to an office, He has something even better! Our Lord has a THRONE ROOM!

Hopefully not the same "throne room" that we have here in our house!

It's commendable, Rad, that you can remember such. However, I've seen a number of pastors up front who couldn't do the service without constantly referring back to the hymnal. I'm not talking about the small segments which change, like prayer of the day and such, but the basics which are the same each setting. Ah, well. Fortuneately, that's a very minor issue anyway.
