@ConcordiaPub When did CPH start printing the Lutheran Study Bible in China? Several older copies were printed in the US, but my latest one and 2017 Reformation edition in China. I gave one as a gift and was called out on it, the only reason I even looked.

Discover the New Testament Book of James, including disputes about the authorship, the historical setting, cultural setting, and Martin Luther's notes. myc.ph/4sf0N0T

@JoshuaBarzon The ones that say "Amen!"

How would you answer this question: “Who are God’s people?”

@HenryFrank02 Add congressional staff!

🚨BREAKING: Sen. Kennedy’s bill just moved forward, and it hits Congress where it hurts: NO paycheck for senators during a shutdown. If they can’t keep the government open, why should taxpayers keep paying them? Do you firmly support this? IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!! MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏

@LPersonTX @EmeraldRobinson @DocPeteChambers You obviously never met him, nor actually talked with him, or actually listened.

@EmeraldRobinson @DocPeteChambers Doc Chambers ran a vanity campaign. He paraded around Texas with saddlebags thrown over his shoulder (which no real Texan does), spouted off a bunch of talking points to sound genuine, and only had $30K in the bank. Nothing was stolen. He just didn’t run a real campaign.

The uniparty just stole the Texas primary election from @DocPeteChambers. Did you notice?

@lutheranpeasant Not sure about any of you, but I am enjoying using the 3yr A texts this Lent. Main problem is keeping sermons from going too long for my hearers.

Favorite Gospel:

@OGBURGKATHOLIK The rubrics call for the pastor to do the readings. Lay readers were first introduced by Dix, an Anglican, to help push the new, low views of scripture. Lex orandi, lex credendi. Hold to historic high view of scripture, as per the confessions? Pastor reads.

Lutheran friends only, I have a genuine question out of curiosity, and I’m only asking out of curiosity, not intending to create divide or be contentious. Does anyone know the exact reason why women are allowed to publicly read the daily scriptures at the divine service of Paul says this.. “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.” — 1 Corinthians 14:33-35 I’m genuinely curious what the Lutheran understanding of this is, because it would seem to me that public reading of scripture would be encompassed in this command for silence. Again as I stated, I’m not asking this out of malice, I’m just curious. I’m not bothered by women reading the scriptures. I’d prefer to hear actual historic interpretations from our theologians, not opinions please.

@PotluckLauren I do not believe God is a liar. He says it, I believe it. He created just as Genesis says. God also said this out-loud at Sinai, recorded in Exodus 20:11.

While I appreciate the attempts to find common ground with the old earthers out there, the Bible says it was evening and morning for each day to show us that this is a 24 hour period. Not figurative, but literal. Genesis is a historical narrative. It’s important that as Christians we choose to believe God’s word.

@nicksortor @RepBryanSteil Is congressional staff included?

🚨 BREAKING: The "No Pay During Shutdowns Act," which would BAR members of Congress from receiving paychecks, has just PASSED out of the US House committee, per @RepBryanSteil This should've been done a LONG time ago. If our troops don't get paid, NEITHER SHOULD CONGRESS! Send the bill to the President's desk!

@DrJordanBCooper Is this Balaam approved?

When I say that Rome's view of grace is often transactional, this is what I mean.

@TheDonStein Welch's, huh?

Read your Bible. Baptize your babies. Pasteurize your milk and be normal.

@lutheranpeasant That is just short of being a big problem.

Anyone know what this is? The head is stamped as 5.56. Found it picking up range brass.

@HansFiene @PastorBowman That moment you realize you have to help protect the former Muslim you just baptized into Christ is surreal. Their life is literally on the line.

@PastorBowman Sure. That’s the church’s job. The state’s job is to preserve a peaceful and quiet life and so it’s probably wise not let people into the country who think they can kill you for converting to Christianity or for preaching it.

Let's make Christians out of them.

@DNIGabbard Thank you for your service, Ma'am.

Lifting my friend Susie up in prayer as she begins her treatment and wishing her a speedy recovery! I’m grateful to work alongside her and for her continued dedication to serving our country.

@WmWeedon My ears have been jacked up the past two weeks. Made singing DS3 a little more strenuous, today. Think allergies have something to do with it. As always, well worth it.

I know I’m old when… the voice dies after the second sermon and Bible Class and the second communion liturgy is a train wreck. Grr. I used to be able to do this, no problema. Not anymore.

@LeighWolf 1/8 Marines should get first dibs. Remembering Beirut, 1983...

Not only do 100% of the Marines on that MEU want to fight....every single other Marine, active duty and veteran, wishes they could swap places with a Marine on the MEU. There's a 100+ year old WWII veteran somewhere reading this news wishing he could drop the ramp just one more time.

@AntiLeftMemes When a bad "balloon" comes at her with a knife saying it wants a candy bar...

In what situation would a child need to know how to do this?

@WmWeedon @PastorO_15029 The tornado bearing storms were hard on the Sem. It was heartbreaking, personally, when I last visited. Some of those trees provided me shade while I prayed or studied back in the day.

@PastorO_15029 I was on campus for the first time in a long time on Saturday. I was devastated that the trees had been removed from the courtyard beside what was our old chapel. It just looked so barren.

Beautiful Concordia Seminary

@DarthHarryson Yep

Be unapologetically, confessionally, liturgically Lutheran. We are truly blessed, my friends ❤️

@WallStreetApes Who were the "investors"? Builders?

The is a new housing development in Richmond, Kentucky Many people find this to be very eerie as all the homes look the same, it seems very dystopian The character and charm of home building in America is vanishing

@matlockfortexas @TexasGOP @wesvirdelltx @DocPeteChambers @brianeharrison Thoughts?

I wrote the following resolution to change the name of the Texas Railroad Commission to the Texas Department of Energy and Natural Resources. I have already been told that the @TexasGOP leadership does not like it. Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn what they like. It’s time we return the control of our state back to the people and our inherent rights.

By: James Matlock WHEREAS, vast majority of Texans don’t understand the importance of the Texas Railroad Commission; and WHEREAS, the Railroad Commission of Texas was chartered in the Texas Constitution in 1891 to ensure equality for access and tariffs on the railroads; and WHEREAS, the Railroad Commission of Texas was given the following responsibilities: Oil wells in the 1930’s Pipelines in the 1940’s Coal mines in the 1990’s The Railroad Commission of Texas lost authority over the railroad in 2005, when that responsibility was given to TxDOT; and WHEREAS, the Railroad Commission of Texas is the state’s permitting, regulatory, and oversight agency for the oil and gas, pipeline, and mining industries in Texas; and WHEREAS, TCEQ, Texas Water Development Board, ERCOT, and Texas Public Utilities Commission are bureaucratic agencies appointed by the Governor and have conflicting authority over the energy and natural resources in Texas; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the delegates of the Republican Party of Texas affirm that the people of Texas should have elected representation over their energy and natural resources; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Republican Party of Texas supports legislation to change the name of the Texas Railroad Commission to the Texas Department of Energy and Natural Resources; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Republican Party of Texas supports legislation that ensures Texas Department of Energy and Natural Resources will retain the three elected commissioners serving a six year, staggered term; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Republican Party of Texas supports policies reducing the unelected bureaucracy in Texas by placing Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Texas Water Development Board, Texas Public Utilities Commission, and Electric Reliability Council of Texas under direct authority of the three elected commissioners of the Texas Department of Energy and Natural Resources.
