I was perusing the world of YouTube and stumbled across Concordia Publishing House’s channel. One of their videos was on confession:
I can remember when St. Paul’s reinstituted “scheduled” Private Confession. Yeah, we never really got rid of private confession, it just stayed in the Pastor’s study for when we had a crisis and needed to chit chat with our spiritual father.
Do remember that the Lutheran Church is a catholic (i.e. universal) church. So…what does this mean? We’ll, we are the only church that uses scripture and scripture alone as the norm of our faith. Other Christian denominations add various aspects – work, the pope, etc.
Ok, so everyone (well many people) have heard of e-sword. Well, there is a version for Ubuntu/Linux called Xiphos. It is really cool as it has a few Lutheran resources…in addition to the ESV Bible used in our church, users will find Luther’s Galations commentary, The Book of Concord, and The Proper Distinction Between Law and Gospel. An excellent choice.
Look for it at http://www.xiphos.org/. Oh, they support Windows, Fedora 8-10, Debian and Ubuntu, and SuSE.
Family Christian Stores has a doorbuster for ESV Bibles. Leather like covers, compact size. They have a pink cover (I didn’t check the guilding), charcoal cover (with silver guilding), and a tan cover (gold guilding). They have a very soft cover.
According to the fact sheet:
With its European hand-stitched cover, the ESV Compact TruTone Bible is ideal for travel and carrying with you wherever you go. Its compact size fits perfectly in your pocket or purse. It also includes helpful reference features…
Value pricing – a $22.99 retail value
Handy size for pocket or purse

So, I was prusing the internet. Pastor Chryst wrote about it, Frank picked it up. I noticed that it is a comment from Professor Berger (and it appears it’s not his first!) I sure hope that our seminaries are getting more and more confessional and that he won’t be the next one out!
It appears that Issues, Etc. will be returning to the airwaves. The question I have, which the site does not answer is: will this be broadcast exclusively on the Internet or will it be available on the radio? Anyway, either is better than what we have now! Check out their website at http://www.piratechristianradio.com/. It will be interesting to see who is behind this wonderful endeavor.
