  • Core Like a Rock: Luther’S Theological Center
    OCTOBER 2, 2017 CORE LIKE A ROCK: LUTHER’S THEOLOGICAL CENTER Kenneth A. Cherney, Jr., PhD WISCONSIN LUTHERAN SEMINARY CORE LIKE A ROCK: LUTHER’S THEOLOGICAL CENTER You have asked me in this essay to “review the central core of Luther’s confession of divine revelation.” That is interestingly put. Lots of things have cores, and they function in different ways. Apples have cores that you throw away. When I was growing up, Milwaukee had its “inner core,” defined in 1960 by a special mayoral commission as the area between Juneau Avenue on the south, 20th Street on the west, Holton Street on the east, and Keefe Avenue on the north—a blighted part of town, so they said, where people from my tribe didn’t go.1 The earth’s “core” is a glob of molten nickel/iron wrapped around a solid iron ball, and those who claim to know these things say our core generated the heat that caused Florida to break off from Africa and remain stuck on Georgia and Alabama,2 for which many persons are grateful. The “core” of a nuclear reactor is like that; it’s where the fissionable material is found and where the reaction happens that is the whole point. So is the cylinder of “core” muscles around your abdomen, without which you can have biceps the size of Dwayne Johnson’s and when the bad guys show up you’re still basically George McFly, only in a tighter shirt. That is how I understand my assignment. You want to hear about Luther’s spiritual fulcrum, the point around which everything turned.

BROKEN PROMISE: THE DEMISE OF “SURE AND CERTAIN RELIEF” UNDER THE NORTH DAKOTA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION ACT DEAN J. HAAS* ABSTRACT The workers’ compensation bargain in which employees gave up the ability to sue their employers in exchange for “sure and certain relief” is premised on the economic theory that such voluntary agreement between competing interests promotes efficiency in an unfettered market. The cost of workers’ compensation, ostensibly borne by employers, is supposedly priced into the cost of the product or service. This is said to “internalize” the cost to industry, a bedrock economic principle necessary to ensure efficient allocation of resources and employee safety.

  • Lenten Devotionals Are Created, Edited and Coordinated by Nanette Goings, Director of Christian Education
    [UN]CERTAIN Questions may imply uncertainty. Questions make us ponder. Questions spur us on to dig deeper for an answer. Ques- tions help us discover an answer on our own terms, in our own way and in ways that we will remember far longer than if we were just told the answer. Jesus asked over three-hundred questions throughout his ministry. Jesus did not ask questions because he was uncertain. He had a sure and certain purpose in asking the questions he did, when he did and how he did. He desired for his friends, followers and even his enemies to learn from the questions he asked. The questions Jesus asked then, still matter today. The questions we ask today still matter to Jesus. In 2021, a year of uncertainty, we ask many of the same questions those who walked with Jesus asked. And in our un- certainty, may we ponder these questions and look deep into God’s Word for answers. May our uncertainties be made certain in the one true Answer--Jesus, our Savior. Enjoy your interactive devotional each day during this Lenten Season by using: - personalized devotions written by members of Faith Community Lutheran - space on each page to journal your prayers and ponderings - weekly family activity prompts - additional end pages to write prayers, concerns, and God’s responses SERVICES A Lenten service will be offered at Faith Community Lutheran each Wednesday at 5:30 PM beginning on Ash Wednesday, February 17. Confirmation and ZIP! will have classes from 6:15-7:15 PM (No classes on Ash Wednesday).

  • The Kellys and the O'kellys by Anthony Trollope
    The Kellys and the O'Kellys by Anthony Trollope The Kellys and the O'Kellys by Anthony Trollope errors. Most notably, much of Trollope's original punctuation is missing. We are in the process of correcting and updating the text. THE KELLYS AND THE O'KELLYS by ANTHONY TROLLOPE I THE TRIAL During the first two months of the year 1844, the greatest possible excitement existed in Dublin respecting the State Trials, in which Mr O'Connell, his son, the Editors of three different repeal newspapers, Tom Steele, the Rev. Mr Tierney a priest who had taken a somewhat prominent part in the Repeal Movement and Mr Ray, the Secretary to the Repeal Association, were indicted for conspiracy. Those who only read of the page 1 / 709 proceedings in papers, which gave them as a mere portion of the news of the day, or learned what was going on in Dublin by chance conversation, can have no idea of the absorbing interest which the whole affair created in Ireland, but more especially in the metropolis. Every one felt strongly, on one side or on the other. Every one had brought the matter home to his own bosom, and looked to the result of the trial with individual interest and suspense. Even at this short interval Irishmen can now see how completely they put judgment aside, and allowed feeling and passion to predominate in the matter. Many of the hottest protestants, of the staunchest foes to O'Connell, now believe that his absolute imprisonment was not to be desired, and that whether he were acquitted or convicted, the Government would have sufficiently shown, by instituting his trial, its determination to put down proceedings of which they did not approve.
