Doing the Business of the Church
In LCC's Pollution Confusion I discussed how using the passage from Numbers to advocate against polluting the oceans was a confusion of the two kingdoms and had little if anything in common with the pollution World Oceans Day was intended to address. After the article was posted I got some pushback "What would you do?" and I'd... Continue Reading →
Recently LCC posted the following article to their Facebook group in honor of #WorldOceansDay https://www.facebook.com/lutheranchurch.canada/photos/a.448431991922194.1073741825.307839245981470/1583446091754106/?type=3 If you take a close look at the bottom you'll see a quote of Numbers 35:33. If you were the curious type like me you might wonder how this passage connects to World Oceans Day. Here's Numbers 35:30-34 with Numbers 35:33 in... Continue Reading →
In my previous article "We Were Rachael's Church" I wrote about how the Denhollanders held up a mirror of the church's behavior to Immanuel Baptist church in Louisville KY and how the church reacted with introspection, investigation, awareness, repentance, and finally restoration.

While I spend a lot of time pontificating about disagreements with how Synod et al are behaving, every once in a while I see something unique, innovative, and that...well...just works.

With the resignation of Mathew Block as LCC's Communications Director, LCC's been looking for someone to take the position for some time. While there hasn't been a formal announcement in any official publication yet, a guy by the name of Chris Pelletier has made an appearance in the CEF Investors Forum to let us know he's...

Every once in a while an author on another site will notice my little blog, comment on something I've written, and add a few thoughts of their own. Recently Rick Strickert over on Luther Quest cited my article "LCC East District Board Meeting, March 12-13 2018". What his article didn't get quite right was to the... Continue Reading →
Dear readers - If there is one passage that sums up why I do this blog, it'd be this: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Matthew 5:6 LCC has been waging a "war of silence" if not an active dis-information campaign on its membership in an apparent attempt to whitewash... Continue Reading →
