| Recently a very popular video has appeared on YouTube entitled "Jesus>Religion" While parts of it are good, and you can't fault his passion, the presenter mixes up Law and Gospel and sets up False Dichotomies in trying to make his argument. The link below is to an EXCELLENT response that includes the Original video for a point/countpoint correction. I urge you to watch it! Jesus>Religion Response |

| WHY SHOULD I COME TO CHURCH? CAN'T I JUST WORSHIP GOD AT HOME? A quotation from a 1532 Hauspostille (Sermon)Trinity VIII by Martin Luther --- Christ admonishes us very earnestly to remain with God's Word, hear it gladly, and zealously learn from it. If you do this, Christ promises to be with you with his grace. If not, then, Christ says, false prophets and wolves will come and devour you. Therefore, have a care that you hold firmly to my Word, so that the devil cannot mislead you; for if you let my Word go, you will again be duped. This is a true-blue admonition that should certainly move us to hear and learn from God's Word. But it avails little for the many who say, Oh, I've already learned the gospel, understand it well, and have no immediate need for it. Many indeed blurt out that they no longer require pastors and preachers, since they can read the Word for themselves at home. But the fact is that they don't do it. Or if they read it at home, the Word is not as productive, nor as dynamic, as it is when publicly proclaimed through the mouth of the preacher whom God has called and ordained to do such preaching for them. Christ warns these people: Be careful, you will be misled; false prophets will come to you, and they will do so in sheep's clothing. You need not think that a false prophet will come admitting that he is a deceiver who intends to pull the wool over your eyes and bring you the devil. Hardly! Every false prophet's approach is in sheep's clothing. That is why your false security is disastrous. Be on guard, because you are like schoolchildren whom the devil wants to dupe. Because you don't apply yourself to the Word of God, you should realize that the devil already has his foot in the door. |
