Abortion is not a logical, thoughtful debate for those promoting it. It is a power-play. Not having a baby is seen as hope and a wide-open future, whereas a baby is painted as the end of the world. Pro-murders can’t imagine a person who has committed murder in the past turning away from it, as […]
That may seem like a strange title, since evolution seems to be the foundational idea for the unbeliever. The heresy of attributing mankind and our world to randomness, in other words, anything but a personal God we are accountable to, is paramount. But it is really just an excuse, a justification, a convenient mess of […]
Roger Kovaciny Good religious novels give me insights and information unavailable to those who only read scholarly works. Esther: The Star and the Scepter makes sense of the crazy culture in that Bible book. For instance: why a nice Jewish girl would enter a Gentile king’s harem. (Girls were simply arrested and charged with being […]
Rev. Daniel Herb Work Today The topic of work has been regularly in the news lately; the subject of multiple editorial pages and opinion pieces in the media for months. The number of businesses looking for people to work, the low unemployment rate, people not seeking work, the perceived safety of the work place, and […]
The distinction between reality and virtual reality (which is imaginary, but can feel very real, or even more real) is diminishing. This is evident in virtual communion and substituting online watching with actual fleshly participation. The virtual gives us control and power, like gods, whereas the sinful world we cannot dominate or change like we […]
It seems the real battle today is in the hearts and minds of the worldly, even if they attend services and claim to be Christian. But it has revealed universities as pagan to a large extent, and this battle lost for many individuals, even if they fly the banner of the LCMS or another Christian […]
What has light to do with darkness? If love merely placates and affirms what certain newly “privileged” people want to hear, then Dr. Schulz should go. Why? He does not tell select, chosen people what they want to hear. Are certain skin colors more important than Christ’s Word? No. Outward appearance is not a real, […]
It is easy to get caught up in the bad news and evil all around us in the world—at the institutional level. But Christ is still risen and is with us for salvation. Men are called to be bold and strong—to be men of God. This is not an emotional experience and Satan will not […]
Note that this is for parents with specific information. This is a fact gathering point of contact, not a general place to offer support, etc. Please read and share with concerned CUWAA parents and parents of alumni.The Synod president’s visitation process at CUWAA does not seem to have a dedicated way for CUW parents to […]
Roger Kovaciny Why is every church divided into wings which, for convenience, we will call conservative and liberal? (This is a broad overview, so let’s not quibble about terms.) Years ago Oprah Winfrey asked her pastoral adviser about same-sex marriage. His answer perfectly illustrates the reason why all denominations are thus divided. The (obviously liberal) […]
