Pastoral Meanderings: I have become all things to all men in order that I might save some...

I have become all things to all men in order that I might save some...

Hilarious radical take on the idea that in order to save some you must become like them (a complete miss of what Paul was really saying) but lest I turn this thing into a theological treatise, simply relax and have a good laugh...

The Window

This is the Means of Grace Window that is above the altar of Grace Lutheran Church where I serve. It reminds us of the keys (confession and absolution), the wheat(the bread which is the Body of Christ), the cup (which is His Blood), the Word (Scripture), and the Pastoral Office (the red stole). In this one wonderful window we see the treasures of the Church in the Word and Sacraments and I love that it is available for all to see. I realize that this image has been stolen all over the internet but it is a real window, a copyrighted image, belonging to Grace Lutheran Church, Clarksville, Tennessee, which has kindly allowed my use of it...
