  • 2020 Advent Devotions
    2020 Advent Devotions St. John’s Lutheran Church Christmas Lutheran Church Salisbury, North Carolina Bethlehem 2 First Sunday of Advent Sunday, November 29, 2020 Introduction If you’ve been around the church a while, a few words, images, and colors come to mind when we say the word Advent: hope, waiting, preparing, blue, darkness, candlelight, “O come, O come Emmanuel.” For many, none of that makes sense, especially as stores, houses, and downtowns are transformed into a winter wonderland of Christmas lights and glitter. It makes for a wonderful time of year. So how does Advent fit in? Traditionally, Advent has been a season of prayer and preparation for the second coming of Christ. In a nutshell, if Christmas is the first incarnation of God, Advent prepares believers for God’s second incarnation. But if we’re honest, Advent feels like the grandma who won’t let you eat dessert before supper … or the coach who won’t let you play in the game if you haven’t come to practice … or the Lutheran pastor who won’t let you sing Christmas carols until Christmas Eve! This sense of waiting can feel awfully legalistic if you’re not careful. … which is why this year’s Advent theme is “Longing.” Throughout these four weeks of Advent, we invite you into deeper reflection about what you’re longing for. As you think about your future or your hopes and dreams for your family, what are you longing for? As we continue to navigate these unusual Covid-19 waters, what are we longing for? Again this year, members of two sister congregations have prepared these Advent Devotions: Christmas Lutheran in Bethlehem and St.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Idlewild's Advent Devotionals 2019
    ADVENT 2019 The Season of Advent What is Advent? Advent means “arrival.” It is when the church celebrates the arrival of Christ coming into the world, of God coming into our midst. During the four weeks of Advent, the church prepares to celebrate again the mystery of our God-made-flesh. We wait with intention, remembering the deep longing of the prophets, and tapping into that longing again: we are a people who need a Savior. Our world needs saving. In Advent, we don’t simply commemorate the nativity of the Lord; we watch with hope for Christ’s return and for the full realization of God’s vision for the world—a vision of justice with peace, a vision of joy and love. Dietrich Boenhoeffer said that Advent could be compared to “a prision cell, in which one waits and hopes and does various unessential things....but is completely dependent on the fact that the door of freedom has to be opened from the outside.” Advent is a declaration of dependence; we are a people who wait for God’s action, wait for God’s vision of a healed world to unfold. But there is a sense in which God is also waiting for us. This year, Idlewild’s Advent theme is “What Can’t Wait.” What can’t wait? The filling of untamed tummies? The prevention of violence? The healing of disease? Advent rightly reminds us of our fierce dependence on God, but it also anticipates the coming of Christ, in whose freedom we find the power to act boldly.
