by Garry Heintz When Lutheranism 101 first came out, pictures floated about on Facebook of people “caught” with their nose in the book. LCMS President Matt Harrison; a pastor eating sushi; a bust of Luther; an Octoberfest band; people’s pets and children. Even a few Canadians were found reading it! So who should read this book? [...]

EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH IN KENYA ON THE CHURCH APOSTATE This is the statement of the executive committee of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kenya that met on the 12th November 2009, on the Apostasy of the church of Sweden to consecrate not just a woman to the office of bishop but a lesbian bishop on [...]
Does Being and Remaining Lutheran Still Matter?
Posted in Luther, Lutheran Confessions, Lutherans on June 25, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I found this today from cyberbrethren.com. Happy Anniversary! Before we go further we need to clear up a common misconception. While insisting on the truth of Lutheranism, we can never allow ourselves to do so in an arrogant, haughty or self-righteous manner. People who are passionate about the truth of Biblical Lutheranism know that the [...]
Lutheran Mythbusting: The Empty Cross is Lutheran. The Crucifix is Roman Catholic.
Posted in Catholic, Lutherans on May 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I was reading some comments a person made about what represents Christ’s love best in Lutheranism. He said: “Christ’s love in Lutheranism is represented by the empty Cross…” Ah, no. There’s nothing wrong with a plain cross symbol, but the plain or “empty” cross is not somehow a “Lutheran” symbol, as opposed to the crucifix. [...]
The Lutheran “Brand” and the Perils of Brand Dilution

Here’s a fascinating post that I would ask you to read, carefully, and consider how this speaks to the Lutheran Church trying to be something it is not, or trying to look like something it is not. I picked this up from the blog Conversation Agent. When it comes to branding, less from you is more. [...]
Did Luther Teach Double Predestination?
Posted in Calvinism, Lutherans on December 16, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Whenever the question of why are some saved, and not others, comes up it is common for Calvinists who advocate for the view that God has predestined some to hell, and others to heaven, to try to drag Martin Luther into their argument and claim that they are actually being faithful to what Martin Luther [...]
What Really is a Lutheran?
Posted in Luther, Lutherans on November 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
What really is a Lutheran? This is a question which has not only perplexed non-Lutherans who have observed Lutherans in our country and all over the world split into a confusing plethora of territorial churches and synods; but the question is asked, and very sincerely, by more and more Lutherans who are distressed over the [...]

Why We Make The Sign Of The Cross

I found this article from Rev. Peperkorn. Very good. As a boy growing up in the “Heart of Dixie” way down in the Deep South, we Lutherans knew we were not Baptists, that’s for sure, and they never let us forget it either. After all, we drank, they did not. And we sure knew we [...]
