Truth In The Inward Parts: A Sermon For Three Speakers On Justification By Faith, Richard Luecke

Concordia Theological Monthly

The sermon seeks to address the Gospel, understood as "justification by faith through grace," to a particular yet current and popular campus attitude or pose. It speaks to the concern for "truthfulness," or for personal integrity and freedom, where all traditional statements are in question, and shows the "point of contact" - and the "point of conflict"! - between Christ and that. It does not attempt to treat the other side of the coin, namely, the concern for the '"truth of statement" in the Scriptures and then in the Confession and in theology - also essential emphases of the Reformation.

Teaching For The Intergration Of The Christian Personality, Ronald Arthur Michel

Bachelor of Divinity

Teaching for a full-orbed commitment or for the complete integration of the Christian personality is not substitution for the work of the Holy Spirit. God. has placed the means for Christian education into human hands, for He has given the Church the command to teach the Word of God through which the Holy Spirit enters into the hearts of men. Christians educators are co-workers of the Holy Spirit in achieving the desired goal.

This, then, is the purpose of this paper: that we discuss those factors which are essential in teaching for the fullest possible commitment to Jesus Christ.

The Relationship Between The Church's Program For Ministerial Training And Her Mission Program, W. C. Birkner

Concordia Theological Monthly

The formulation of the theme to which I am to address myself indicates that our Church has become aware that the relationship of two vital parts of her program, namely, Missions and Ministerial Training, deserves some attention and a closer scrutiny at this time. The fact that occasionally the expressions "problem," or "dilemma," or "difficulty," or even "rivalry" are heard when the relationship of these two areas of activity is under discussion, is in itself an admission that this question has not always been clearly defined and a confession that not all members of the Church have arrived at the …

God In The Moderen Novel With Special Reference To The Young Christian Reader, Walter Riess

Bachelor of Divinity

The modern novel carries a potent message. The Church ought make no mistake about that. The time for ignoring the novelist and his novel is over. We shall either or find a means to deal with the novel, or we shall let our Church suffer from it. But we shall not ignore it longer. The baby has grown far beyond expected proportion, and the church has a problem on her hands.

The youth of the Church are not, of course, the only ones involved in this problem. But it.is the contention of the writer that they are the most susceptible …

Christ, The Hope Of Glory, Martin H. Franzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

'' And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory forever and ever." 2 Tim. 4:18.

These words of St. Paul, even though individual in form and a personal confession of the Apostle, contain practically all the characteristics of the eschatological hope of the Church of Jesus Christ. For that hope is (1) a Christ-centered hope; it is (2) a hope that looks for a divine act of deliverance; it is (3) a hope for a total consummation; it is (4) a "practical" hope; and (5) it …

Training The Parish For Christian Citizenship, Richard R. Caemmerer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Citizenship is in the midstream of American thought. The Communist menace bids man review the foundations of government. Party politics utilizes radio and television in addition to earlier tools of press and propaganda. The great social problems of our time - public and social welfare, the racial question, the conflicts of capital and labor, control of economics-are all related to government and citizenship. Hence the questions concerning the Church's place in this program are more insistent than ever. More specifically: What shall the parish do to train its people for citizenship?

Truth In A Changing World, Leroy C. Rincker

Concordia Theological Monthly

When I survey the beauties of Concordia Seminary and attempt to evaluate its current contributions to the Church, I am impressed with evidences of great changes that have marked the progress of this school during the past thirty years. Its larger enrollment and increasing facilities, its graduate school and mission department, its revised curriculum and wider program, all are evidences of an awareness of opportunities to enter the many doors that are opening to our Church today.

Rural Life And The Church, W. W. Stuenkel

Concordia Theological Monthly

Rural life at first was perfect. The entire first chapter of Genesis describes bow God created the various animate and inanimate objects which still today comprise rural life for us, and in the last verse we hear His evaluation: "And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good" (Gen. 1:31). But then came the Fall and with it the curse directed particularly to agriculture, although it extended over all of man's activity: "And unto Adam He said: Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife and hast eaten of the tree of which …
