What is worship?  That really is the question that the Christian must figure out.  What is worship?  Why do we gather?  Does it matter what we do and how we do it?  These questions will never stop because the sinner always gets them wrong.  This was true in the Garden in front of the Tree of Good and Evil.  It was true in the tabernacle and later the Temple, the tent of meeting, the Holy Place, and the Most Holy Place.  This is true for us today and will be true for our children tomorrow.  How we view worship is going to dictate what we think worship is, and vise versa.  …  So what is worship?  Is it an earth to heaven, praise and adoration, man to God sort of thing?  Or is it a heaven to earth, gifts and atonement, God to man sort of thing.  It matters what it is and it matters how you view it.  Let’s stop pretending it doesn’t.

What is The Uncultured Saints?

We’re told the same thing over and over. Christianity doesn’t fit with today’s culture. The thing is, it isn’t the culture saying it. It’s the church. We’ve done a great job figuring out what we’re not. Sometimes we forget what we are. We’re the saints, washed in the blood of the lamb. We’re sinners Jesus made holy. This defines us. There are places Christianity doesn’t fit with today’s culture because Christianity isn’t bound by culture. We’re free in Christ to be uncultured. Not against it. Not apart from it. Undefined by it, because we’re defined by something greater. Join Pr. Goodman and Pr. Lietzau, the uncultured saints, as we tackle today’s issues through the lens of the Lutheran Confessions and find answers to today’s questions rooted in a timeless truth in Christ.
