If we remember anything for our catechism, we remember the three functions of the law. “A curb to keep society in order, a mirror to show us our sin, and a guide for Christian service to our neighbor.” But what does it mean that the law is a curb for society? ...read more
“Unity of doctrine?” people ask with an astonished look on their face. “Do you really think that the church has unity of doctrine?” One of the marks of our modern age is that each person holds an individual belief. A recent survey of religious convictions showed that most church goers were not that convinced about their convictions. ...read more | pdf
Suffering is not a sin. The devil would try to tempt us otherwise. Remember how it was with Job. His three friends, all poor theologians, tried to connect the dots between Job's suffering and his sin. The same temptation comes to us when we thing that a Christian must always be happy and cheerful, or when we imagine that there is some sort of shame in suffering and trouble. ...read more
Q: An infant is baptized. The parents live and bring this child up learning the Word. This child withdraws from grace later in life when they are on their own. As an adult they come back to church and seek the grace of God. This person then wants to be baptized again in their quest for a new life. Would you baptize again since we believe in one baptism? answer

Small Catechism Audio
We want to treasure the texts of the Small Catechism in our hearts. The following tracks are offered for listening and downloading to help us memorize the Small Catechism.
We took a video camera and a microphone to downtown Denver and surveyed nine people about their religious thoughts. We asked if people were religious, what they thought about Jesus and the church, what the Gospel is, and how you get to heaven. The answers provide a small glimpse into some of the broad currents of popular religious thought.
These audio files include only the answers to these questions. Much thanks to Pastor Joe Burnham for doing all the hard work on this project.
Are you religious? wma | mp3
Spirituality seems more in vogue than religion, though we did find quite a number of Christians. Notice that the problem with religion is that it's "organized" (like crime) and "tells people what to do." Being Spiritual is more appealing, there is no need to trouble with the law or creeds or anything beyond what appeals to me.
What do you think about Jesus? wma | mp3
No one said anything bad about Jesus. This was not the case when Jesus walked the earth. Then you either believed in Him or wanted Him dead, there was no middle ground. Today Jesus has been fashioned into a likeable nice-guy who wouldn't offend anyone. This is certainly not the Jesus of the Scriptures.
What do you think about the church? wma | mp3
Unlike Jesus, in our questions Jesus' church didn't escape criticism. The church is "hypocritical" and an institution of man which is corrupt, out, it seems, to ruin everyone's good times.
What is the Gospel? wma | mp3
When listening to the answers to this question I could do little but thank the Lord that we have the proper distinction between Law and Gospel. Answers ranged from the four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, to Gospel music, to "stories" and instructions to live by. We can rejoice in the answer from the Scriptures: the Gospel is the promise of the forgiveness of all of our sins for the sake of Jesus and His death for us.
How do you get to heaven? wma | mp3
Answers to this question fell into three categories, all wrong: (1) there is no heaven, (2) by being good, or trying to be, and (3) by believing in Jesus plus doing good or being obedient, etc. Of course, any time you add something to Jesus, it's really the addition that matters. Even of all the Christians we interviewed, none could let the way to heaven be Jesus alone.
