“The intention of the Mass was to uplift and honor black culture.”

~ College Student Natavia Mitchell

John Lennon’s Imagine is a true Marxist anthem, one that some have suggested replace the allegedly racist Star Spangled Banner, as our national anthem. Indeed, it became an ironic act of megarich celebrity do-gooderism that was hilariously panned even by the New York Times. The proposed canonization of this persistent Communist pop-song is one small part of the current disorienting and revolutionary Anschluß against anything traditional in American culture.

I recently received an email from a pastor questioning the paradigm in the LCMS that places a high value on “preaching the Gospel” and wondering if that “were enough’ - especially in light of racism, “LGBTQ issues” and “global warming.”

In several places in his epistles (including a self-application in Romans 1:1), St. Paul uses the term “δοῦλος Χριστοῦ,” usually translated into English as “servant of Christ,” reflecting the Latin translation “servus.”
