Compulsory Military Training From The Viewpoint Of The Church, Herman J. Grimm May 1946

Compulsory Military Training From The Viewpoint Of The Church, Herman J. Grimm

Bachelor of Divinity

Therefore it is important that we discuss compulsory military training from the viewpoint of the church. We will consider the various plans which have been proposed to provide this compulsory military training for the youth of the nation. We will think out what the viewpoint of the church, of all believers in general, and of our own church body in particular, should be in regard to this matter. We will examine the relation between compulsory military training and the church. We will take note of the principal arguments before the public, and give attention to the arguments both for and …

How To Deal With Cases Of Attempted Suicide, E. A. Duemling Sep 1945

How To Deal With Cases Of Attempted Suicide, E. A. Duemling

Concordia Theological Monthly

The problem of suicide or attempted suicide has so many aspects and such far-reaching implications that no short treatise can possibly cover all of them. A suicide is a person who, with premeditation, has deliberately terminated his life. An attempted suicide is an individual who has made an attempt at suicide, but has failed in the act. The subject is bound up with the values that the individual, the community, and the Church attach to life, with existing attitudes towards death, with racial habits and customs, with prevailing standards of life and the variations from such standards. Any attempt to …

The Christian Congregation: Its Rights And Duties According To God's Word And Our Lutheran Confessions, J. T. Mueller May 1939

The Christian Congregation: Its Rights And Duties According To God's Word And Our Lutheran Confessions, J. T. Mueller

Concordia Theological Monthly

In my two brief addresses I shall endeavor to present to you, in their essential features, the paramount Biblical truths which Dr. Walther has propounded in his immortal book Die rechte Geatalt einer vom Staat unabhaengigen ev.-luth. Ortsgemeinde. Eine Sammlung von Zeugnissen aus den Bekenntnisschriften der evang.-luth. Kirche und aus den Privatschriften rechtglaeubiger Lehrer der selben; which means, in literal translation: The Correct Form of a Local Ev. Luth. Congregation which Is Independent of the State. A Collection of Testimonies from the Confessions of the Ev. Luth. Church and the Private Writings of Its Orthodox Teachers.

St. Paul And Woman's Status, J. T. Mueller Jan 1938

St. Paul And Woman's Status, J. T. Mueller

Concordia Theological Monthly

Evidently the article has been read with much interest and at least some approval in wide areas, for no sooner had it appeared than the question was submitted to us whether or not it may be accepted also in our circles as essentially correct and Biblical. The problem, we think, deserves attention, since the question of the veiling and public speaking of women in church assemblies is still causing some pastors considerable vexation of spirit, though perhaps more than enough has been written on the topic in our church periodicals, commentaries, and other publications. As long as the earth will …

The Pastor And Synod, J. W. Behnken Oct 1937

The Pastor And Synod, J. W. Behnken

Concordia Theological Monthly

A synod is not a divine institution, but a voluntary organization. Nowhere is there a Scriptural command that congregations must unite. Of course, we have the Scriptural example, Acts 15, of the first convention of delegates from congregations which assembled at Jerusalem.

Outline For Sermon On Chrisitan Education, Paul Koenig Sep 1937

Outline For Sermon On Chrisitan Education, Paul Koenig

Concordia Theological Monthly

"Is the young man safe?" That was the anxious Iinquiry of a worried father. Is the young man or woman safe? Are the children safe? This should be the anxious question of the Church. "Whether or not they are safe, what will become of them later in life, depends to a very great extent on what we do for them during their childhood days, upon the training we give them.” Much emphasis is laid in our country on education. One out of every four persons is said to be enrolled in quest of some form of education.

The Progressive Self-Culture Of A Lutheran Pastor, John Weidenschilling Jan 1937

The Progressive Self-Culture Of A Lutheran Pastor, John Weidenschilling

Bachelor of Divinity

During his three years at the seminary the theological student is taught the qualifications and requirements of a Lutheran pastor, and he is informed of the tremendous responsibilities and the exacting demands which a call into the ministry will lay upon him when he has become a pastor of a congregation. But the seminary training is not able to convert the student into a full-fledged pastor. Only long years of hard study and practical experience and divine grace can equip a man successfully and completely for this greatest and hardest calling and work in this world. Unless the ministerial candidate, …

The Ministry Of The Word In These Trying Times, K. Kretzschmar Nov 1933

The Ministry Of The Word In These Trying Times, K. Kretzschmar

Concordia Theological Monthly

Periods of adversity in the life of the Church and the world always involve a special challenge to the ministry of the Word. The present era of spiritual, social, and economic distress is no exception. Within the memory of the generation now living there has never been a general situation demanding more earnest attention, single-hearted concentration, and enlightened action on the part of God's ambassadors on earth than that created by the developments of these trying times.

Have We Lost Our Balance?, P. E. Kretzmann Jul 1932

Have We Lost Our Balance?, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Things are said to be in unstable equilibrium when they lose their balance even upon very slight provocation. When men are in the same predicament, they are said to have lost their poise. If this condition is habitual, the individual is said to be erratic. The same phenomenon may often be associated with an organization, partly because of mob psychology, partly because of leadership that is subject to eccentricities. Such a body, organization, or association is said to have lost its balance.

The Personal Factor In Preaching, P. E. Kretzmann Mar 1932

The Personal Factor In Preaching, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

There is only one eternal and unchanging truth in the world, and that truth is the Word of God. In words of surpassing beauty and power St. Peter writes: "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. For all flesh is as grass and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The gross withereth, and the flower thereof fadeth away; but the Word, of the Lord, endureth forever," 1 Pet. 1, 23-25. Cp. John 17; Rom. 10. This is the Word which, as Peter …
