Pastoral Visits, F C. Streufert

Concordia Theological Monthly

We all agree that our visits of patients in hospitals are frequently not so productive as we desire, either because other patients make such, visits difficult or, at times, because of expected ridicule on the part of other patients or visitors, we are too timid in the confession or profession of our faith. But we must not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and therefore should most cheerfully and boldly perform our pastoral duty. Such bold presentation of sacred truths of sin and grace, of admonition and of comfort, will strengthen the patient we ore visiting and will …

Sermon Study On Acts 16, 16-32, O W. Wismar

Concordia Theological Monthly

Every preacher is under a debt of lasting gratitude to the patient plodders who have selected the various series of pericopes. The expository preacher especially is happy and contented in mind when he has a preselected portion of Holy Writ before him to be treated homiletically; for he is convinced that " the text, the text, is the thing wherein he'll find the message of his King." With this conviction, mingled perhaps with a slight misgiving that the present text is somewhat long, we begin our labor in the Word by reading the seventeen verses in the Authorized Version.

The Pastor At The Bedside Of The Backslider, F C. Streufert

Concordia Theological Monthly

How difficult it is to perform our duty at the bedsides of such as have turned away from their Savior! It is often difficult to approach them, even if no personal matter between patient and pastor has caused the former to forsake God and His Word. Permit me to present three cases from my own pastoral experience together with my treatment of them.

The Superman, C W. Faye

Concordia Theological Monthly

This is a revision, amplification, and bringing up to date of an oration delivered and published a number of years ago. I should like to add that I have sometimes felt in preparing this paper that what Bergson, for instance, has been driving at has eluded me. I have tried to present fairly and justly the doctrines of the thinkers mentioned in this paper. Even If I have failed to discover what they wished to teach, I feel pretty confident of having found out what the bulk of their followers think they teach. For practical purposes that is sufficient; for …

Schools Of The Prophets In Old Testament Times, A W. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Let us note that the character of the prophetic office differed distinctly from that of the priestly, though at times combined in one person. It was not, like the priestly, confined to one tribe; however, it did not, in its personnel, extend beyond the covenant people. Balaam might be designated an exception, but he was an enigma as to character. A prophet was not to establish his prophetic office by signs and wonders, for even false prophets might perform these, Deut.13, 1-15, but by his adherence to the Law and testimony of Jehovah.

Does The Bible Teach That Only Christians Of The Apostolic Age Would Possess Miraculous Powers?, W Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

The question is frequently asked, Are there Scripture-passages by means of which we can prove that the extraordinary gifts possessed by Christians in apostolic times, like those of healing, prophesying, etc., were intended for, and given to, the Church of early New Testament times only? The reply has to be, There are no such Scripture-passages. Our Lord at various times conferred upon His disciples the power to do miraculous works. The beat-known occasion is one of the meetings which He held with His disciples prior to His ascension. According to Mark He said at that time: "And these signs shall …

"Professing Themselves To Be Wise, They Became Fools." Rom. 1, 22, George Luecke

Concordia Theological Monthly

The writer has been very forcefully reminded of this word of St. Paul by two articles which have recently appeared in two prominent and widely read journals, one in the Atlantic Monthly for January, the other in the Literary Digest of January 25. The former of the two articles is entitled "The Antireligious Front,” by William L Sullivan, and its purpose is to ridicule the antireligious vagaries of ungodly men who are "wise in their own conceit.” Two sections of this article particularly appeal to me, and will, I think, appeal to others, as masterly presentations of the folly of …

How Peter Became Pope, W Dallmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Hadrian I, 772-795, had his rival Paul Afiarta executed. When the Lombards again besieged Rome, the Pope called Karl the Great, who overthrew King Desiderius and annexed his kingdom. Karl visited the Pope, kissed the stairs of St. Peter's as he went up, and ratified and enlarged the gift of his father Pepin in 774. In 781 Karl had to help again, and rumor had it he planned to depose the Pope.

Till December 1, 781, the Pope had counted his office from the years of the rule of the Greek emperors; now he dated it from the years of …

Desultory Remarks On Chinese Politics, W H. Mclaughlin

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Republic of China has not, as may often be supposed from its name, a republican form of government, with taxation and representation carefully apportioned, popular suffrage, general elections of president, legislators, etc., and other features which we associate with our republican form of government. The nation is at present living in the so-called "period of political tutelage," during which, in accordance with the will of the founder, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the government shall be entirely in the hands of the National People’s Party, or Kuomintang. During this period there is to be no popular government, but the people, …

Thee Pastor At The Bedside Of The Unbeliever, F C. Streufert

Concordia Theological Monthly

If we are called to the bedside of a patient who has no knowledge of the Word of God, to the bedside of the unbeliever, this is done in most instances not at the request of the patient, but upon the suggestion of one of the family or a friend. It cannot be otherwise. How can any one have a desire to hear concerning Christ of whom he knows nothing and in whom he does not believe. It is a sad fact that many, though they are at death's door, in spite of all are filled with hatred against the …

The Dynamic Of The Lutheran Reformation, R R. Caemmerer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Augsburg Confession is a confession of faith. But through its four hundred years it has become more: it is a witness to the persistence of the Lutheran Reformation. It was in its origin an episode in the growth of the Lutheran movement; it is a testimonial, after four centuries, to the permanent power of its principles. Why did the principles formulated under the inspiration of the Lutheran movement have this quality of persistence, becoming largely identified with the name and personality of Luther, maintaining their distinction through centuries and under varying circumstances? Why did not, for example, the Wycliffe …

How Peter Became Pope, W Dallmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Hilary, 461-408, took the title "Vicar of Peter, to whom, since the resurrection of Christ, belonged the keys of the kingdom.” He admitted, however, that his vast authority had a civil origin. In time the "Vicar of Peter'' grew into the ''Vicar of Christ."

Simplicius, 468---483, appointed a permanent legate in Spain.

When Emperor Augustulus was deposed, in 476, the division of the Eastern and Western empires ended. In the following century the Goths were put down by J' Justinian’s generals Belisarius and Narses, and Italy was subject to the emperor at Constantinople and ruled by his exarchs at Ravenna, …
