....and are wondering what resources you should be reading, watch this video - Pastor Fisk gives his Top 5 books written pre-20th century, and his Top 5 books written after the start of the 20th century....valuable information!

(i don't know how to embed, maybe someone would be willing to teach me....)

A very interesting... sometimes frightening, presentation. I suppose the younger set, ie: my children's age group, would like this quite a lot. In my case, the video style is a bit... much. It took five hours to download on my dial-up connection. sometimes dial-up really... well, kinda sucks.

 

[alexnbethmom]

yeah, his video presentation i don't think is for everybody - i had to watch him a few times before i got comfortable with it....but he is such a passionate speaker, and speaks truthfully about law and gospel, i would love to see a sermon of his from his church....i have showed his videos to a couple of my friends, and they were like "wow, i'm sure he's good, but i can't handle watching that".....LOL

He had me at the bunnies!

Thanks for sharing this. I will check out some of his recommendations.

Yeah, the style is very much directed at the younger, internet culture savvy crowd with references to internet memes and inside jokes.

I'm not really young but I get most of the jokes.

As to the bunnies... why are two bunnies stuffed into paper cups so funny? I really did enjoy the refutation of Pres. K's, 'This is not your Grandfather's church,' vis-a-vis, 'Still Attending Grandpa's Church,' in his illustrations. The M-TV stop-action style of photography is really annoying. But then... I really am a fuddy-duddy even if I agree with him. All the same, if this reaches the youth of our country, then this is a wonderful thing. It's really so very nice to see such a young pastor that's commited to good sound doctrine. There really is hope for the LCMS after all!

Well, aside from those bunnies being just really cute, it's a spoof on an internet joke. If you don't know what it's referring to, then you probably wouldn't appreciate it if you did. It's one of those inside jokes I mentioned earlier.

i just thought it was two cute bunnies - didn't know there was an inside joke to go along with them, LOL.....tried googling it, couldn't find it - what is the inside joke about? PM me if you need to, LOL....

And I've been saying this for how many years now?

Gee... I wonder if I could get you and this young fella to come here to Redding and kick these liberal's butts? LOL, just kidding. I think the LCMS needs a Circuit Pastor who can go from congregation to congregation UNANNOUNCED to observe and correct the consistant inconsistancies, as well as bring congregations back, that have strayed away from the basic Lutheran order and faith?
