What is in a Name?

Written by Perry Lund
Saturday, 28 January 2012 08:38
On Friday's Lutheran Internet radio show, Issues, Etc. - a listener's question caught my attention as one that would be good to answer in our Lutheran circles. The question revolved around what the church and Christians call themselves. Are we disciples? Are we Christ followers? Is there a difference? Why is the name Lutheran important or is it important? Pastor Todd Wilken gives a prolonged answer that sheds a great deal of light on the issues surrounding what is in a name and how we label ourselves as Christians.

The Lutheran Symbolical Books

Written by Perry Lund
Friday, 01 April 2011 16:47
Another very fine discussion on a rarely discussed topic was found on this week's Issues, Etc. with Todd Wilken. In this Pastor's Roundtable, we learn about the Lutheran confessions as found in the Book of Concord. These symbolical (listen for the terminology explaination) books are important to pastors and to laity. The pastors discussing this issue are all confessional Lutheran pastors from the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. Join Pastor Wilken and Pastor Charles Henrickson of St. Matthew Lutheran-Bonne Terre, MO and Pastor Chris Esget Immanuel Lutheran-Alexandria, VA as they discuss many fine questions regarding this topic on the Lutheran Symbolical Books. The base question that is answered is this: "What makes a Lutheran, a Lutheran?" Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser. Download Questions: What does the terminology symbol or symbolical mean? What do Lutherans refer in terms of books as symbols? What do we mean by subscription, exposition or exhibition with regard to Lutheran Confessions? How unconditional must a subscription be to the Lutheran Confessions to be Lutheran? Why can we not just agree on the essentials; why have a big old book? Do just pastor or also the laity to adhere to the Lutheran Confessions? Should the Lutheran pastor should have read the book of concord prior to ordination? What is the difference in subscription - quia vs quatenus? Why is a quatenus subscription not a good one? What is the distinction in quiz vs quatenus and what is means for being Lutheran? Why the word symbol versus creedal to describe Lutheran confessions? Is unity in our Lutheran Confessions important today? What should we do about doctrines in the Bible that are not covered in the Lutheran Confessions. Should laity to be encouraged to read all the Lutheran confessional materials and books? How can we get a greater aptitude in the congregation for the learning of the Lutheran Confessions? How do the Lutheran Confessions differ from other confessions?

Written by Perry Lund
Thursday, 31 March 2011 12:25
Recently, Issues Etc. had a good discussion on the concept of Christian Piety as opposed to pietism. Words do have meaning and piety and pietism are NOT the same thing. Pastor Heath Curtis of Trinity Lutheran-Worden, IL talks to Todd Wilken on this subject. As part of this subject, here is a PDF on the matter to consider. Download a PDF of “Things Christians Say (but shouldn’t)” by Todd Wilken As part of the discussion, here are some question ellipses that you can see if you can answer. I believe that I cannot by my own… Lord now let us… The Lord be with you… This is most certainly … Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.
