Thank you to Gottesdienst reader “Taylor” for writing to us about Cultural Marxism and providing a helpful link that digs deeper than my latest interview on The Gottesdiest Crowd on this very topic.

After the death of Jesus, His friends and family had to find a place for His burial. A wealthy benefactor, a member of the Sanhedrin (the ruling council of the Jews), took a risk and officially asked for custody of our Lord’s body (which had been hastily removed from the cross with the approach of the extra special Passover Sabbath approaching at sundown).

KFUO’s Concord Matters, hosted by the Rev. Sean Smith, had a series of programs on worship that featured our blogger the Rev. Sean Daenzer

“God ordains men; be one,” as the sainted Rev. Dr. Kenneth Korby famously exhorted us pastors. And indeed, there is nothing more pathetic than men - ordained men - behaving like 13-year old girls.

The Book of Concord is descriptive, not prescriptive. It is not a book of rules. It is a confession. Confessions cannot be prescribed. As Professor Marquart said so eloquently: “One believes something because one is convinced that it is true.”

In this day and age of secularism and social media, one of the most countercultural acts a Christian can do is to send Christmas cards - real cards in real envelopes that end up in the real hands of loved ones, colleagues, friends, and those with whom we come into contact throughout the year.
