In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Man is quite confident about our desires. We are sure about what we want and when we want it and that we know best. History testifies against us. We live in earthly kingdoms, all subservient to the eternal Kingdom of God, yet we demand and impose earthly wisdom upon its existence. No Kings, We have no king but Caesar, God save the king, Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations, Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? Behold yourRead More →

In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Almighty God is in the business of bringing beautiful order to grotesque chaos in majestic reversal. He does this in our hearts out of which we think, say, and do sins aboundingly. By His Holy Spirit, He dwells in us as in a temple sanctifying the heart, which is unclean, that it might be a fount and testimony of good things to God’s glory. He brings order to the chaos of our world, for where He is love, trusted, and obeyed, good order prevails and the people prosper.Read More →

In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Beloved in the Lord, on this day in which you began the Divine Service by praying, “Judge me, O God,” you do well to pay attention to what you hear and learn in this holy place, whether it be pondering upon certain words of God for the first time or as reminder for a countless number of times now. The Lord has commanded that you offer your bodies as living sacrifices of thanksgiving as you come here physically, but also that you offer up your heart and soulRead More →

In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. We know that the Holy Christian Church has crafted the sacred 40 days of Lent as an allusion to other 40s found in the Scriptures, one of them being the 40 years that Israel wandered in the wilderness as Moses records for us in Exodus and beyond. Chapter 16 brings us into their 40 to hear that the whole congregation of the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. And the children of Israel said to them, “Oh, that we had died by theRead More →

In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Lent, which by week’s end shall be already halfway over, is a blessèd and necessary annual re-training of the Christian heart with the goal of bringing us, and our whole person, back to reality. We all need Lent, at minimum annually, for none of us shall shed the need of discovering and repenting of the sins in our lives until the Lord returns or until He ends this life of sin by death to draw us to Him yonder. We will only be done with our fight againstRead More →

In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Mothers are a blessing. They are a blessing simply by the fact of how God makes them to be mothers, for by the love of a husband and by the long months of nurturing life within their very own bodies, mothers are made. They are made as those through whom life comes. Apart from Adam and Eve, there is no person ever to have lived who did not have life because of a mother. And as expected, mothers grow quite attached to the lives that they berth. TheyRead More →

In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. We call this second Sunday in Lent Reminiscere, because we pray Remember, O LORD, Thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; For they have been ever of old. He must, for our sake, He must, for Christ’s sake, remember His tender mercies for we are always in great need of them. We need Him to remember them, for we go about this life of faith remembering things ourselves. We remember how we have sinned, how we like sheep have gone astray in our hearts, in our minds, in ourRead More →
