This is the closest thing to fatherhood that I have experienced since the impending birth of my own children 29 years ago. We received samples of printed pages of Treasury of Daily Prayer from the printer. All the press marks are still on the edges and they certainly aren’t bound. This is like getting the [...]

WHITE PAPER #4: Concordia’s Treasury of Daily Prayer: Choosing the Psalms
The selection of the psalms for each Day of Treasury of Daily Prayer was headed up by Todd Peperkorn. The Psalmody, consisting of generally 4–10 verses of a selected psalm, is the only component to precede the readings. Editorially and structurally, the psalmody serves the Day as the Introit and Collect serve in the Service [...]

WHITE PAPER #3 part two: Concordia’s Treasury of Daily Prayer: The Psalms in Daily Prayer and the Practice of Daily Prayer
Dr. Stucwisch continues: Now, then, in addition to being the Word of God—and, really, precisely as the Word of God—the Psalms also become the Church’s words of prayer (and a sacrifice of praise), when they are spoken back to God and confessed before the world as words of faith. Indeed, such “confession” (which, if one [...]

WHITE PAPER #3 part one: Concordia’s Treasury of Daily Prayer: The Psalms in Daily Prayer and the Practice of Daily Prayer
Our look at the formative thoughts behind the development of Treasury of Daily prayer continues by hearing the foundational report of Rev. Dr. Rick Stuckwisch to the Good Shepherd Institute in November 2002. Rev. Stuckwisch, was the primary architect for the Daily Lectionary, and public spokesperson for the Lutheran Hymnal Project Lectionary Committee on the [...]

WHITE PAPER #2: Concordia’s Treasury of Daily Prayer: The Shaping of the Daily Lectionary
This next examination of the rationale behind the Treasury of Daily Prayer goes back to the foundational work done by the Lectionary Committee for the (then) Lutheran Hymnal Project. My good friend, Pastor Rick Stuckwisch, was a member of that committee, the committee member who work is most reflected in the Daily Lectionary, and who [...]

WHITE PAPER #1: Concordia’s Treasury of Daily Prayer: The Spheres of Influence
As examination copies and excerpts of Treasury of Daily Prayer begin to circulate, I am receiving interesting questions about how decisions where made that effected what appears in the Treasury. This will be the first attempt to set out some of the editorial rational, thinking, and background behind the Treasury project. If these short white [...]

Brief Devotion on St. John’s Passion
John 18:1-11 The devil had come to Adam in the garden full of deceit to bring upon him the curse of death. Now Judas, into whom the devil had entered, comes full of deceit to Jesus in the garden, betraying Him to death. But Jesus is not like the old Adam, who hid among the [...]

Embryonic Stem Cell Research Kills Babies
I am not a scientist, although I watch them on TV. I haven’t grown mold in a Petri dish, or looked at my blood under a microscope since the mandatory course in biology in college. So I cannot adequately explain the scientific arguments surrounding stem cell research. I understand in theory the potentiality of stem [...]

Lutherans are not Protestants
For a slightly different take on the question: “Are Lutherans Protestant?” you may want to got to Ask the Pastor. I have never been totally comfortable answering the question, in a largely historical way, as Pastor Snyder has so aptly done. Pastor Snyder is not wrong, the facts are there, and square with what I [...]

1. Living the Christian Life – B
B. Why a Christian Lives a Godly Life Is it possible for a person to be a Christian and yet live carelessly and willingly in sin? Cf. James 2:17, 26. What does St. John say about such a man? 1 John 3:8, 9. Willful sinning makes faith impossible. Faith must be active in good works. [...]
