Today is Holy Trinity Sunday. It’s the second Sunday of the Pentecost Season in the Church Year Calendar. The Pentecost Season is the longest season in the church year, and the focus of this season is the growth of the church. The church grows where the Word of God is preached and taught in its truth and purity. The church grows where God the Holy Spirit works creating and nurturing faith in all, who confess that Jesus is Lord. This is what we talked a little bit last week when we talked about the Day of Pente- cost. The Holy Spirit grows the church through the Word of God and through the Sacraments. As the church grows, some believers will be tested and tried. Some individuals and congrega- tions will struggle—they will fight and tear one another apart. Some congregations will water down the Gospel message and will say things that will appeal to everyone—even saying things that are contrary to the truths of God’s Word. Holy Trinity Sunday is the day in the Church Year Calendar that we highlight the Trinity, which is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Trinity is a key point of the Christian faith which means that the Trinity can also be a bone of contention. The Trinity is actually a sore spot for some people, who claim to believe in Jesus. Some peo- ple, who call themselves Christian, deny that the Trinity exists. Just because I say that the God doesn’t exist, doesn’t mean it’s true. Just because I say that the world began with a random explo- sion doesn’t mean that statement is true. There are groups of people today, who say that they are Christians, but they deny that the Bible teaches about the Trinity. This is one of those times that it’s important to the know the truth from the Bible and not the truth from Facebook of Instagram. When you know the truth from the Bible, you will know how to live and respond to people when they say things like—the earth started by a Big Bang—or that people can be any gender they want. The Trinity as a source of contention for some people centuries ago, which is why the church at that time eventually drafted the Athanasian Creed. This is that really long creed in which half of the creed focuses on the Triune God. Here’s a small part of the Athanasian Creed: “And the catholic faith—this means the universal Christian faith—is this, that we worship one God in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity, neither confusing the persons nor dividing the substance….but the whole three per- sons are coeternal with each other and coequal, so that in all things, as has been stated above, the Trinity in Unity and Unity in Trinity is to be worshipped.” (#3-4, 25) Even in the days when Jesus walked on this earth, there were all kinds of people—including 2 Jewish religious leaders—who claimed to believe in God, and yet denied his power—his mercy—his grace. Some of these people did not believe in the Trinity. This is why we see events like the one recorded in our Gospel lesson today. “Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus (John 7:50; 19:39), a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, ‘Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.’” (John 3:1-2) One of things I really like about the Scriptures is how true and real the events are recorded. This text talks about a religious leader—one of the most highly-respected religious leaders in that day—a Pharisee. Pharisees often get a bad rap—and there are good reasons for that. But let’s re- member that every one of us can live and act like a Pharisee—someone, who claims that the way to God is through working hard to do exactly what God has written in the Bible. The one thing that the Pharisees lacked was love. They worked so hard to live exactly accord- ing to what is written in the first five books of the Old Testament that they didn’t know how to show care and compassion towards other people. Jesus even brings this point up in one conversation he had: “Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Matthew 9:13; Hosea 6:6) Jesus wants people to know the truth from the Bible, and then to LIVE OUT that truth. Jesus knew that the main problem with the pharisees is that they lacked showing mercy to one anoth- er. Of course, this leads us to the Second Greatest Commandment—love your neighbor as yourself— which the pharisees didn’t do. So, in our Gospel lesson today, Jesus is talking to one of the Pharisees, who we quickly learn believes in Jesus as the Son of God Most High. I like that the Scriptures highlight this one Pharisee, which tells us that the Gospel penetrates the hearts of all people no matter who they are—their status in society—their economic status—their social circles. All throughout Scriptures we see how God’s Word causes some people—even people, who don’t seem likely to accept the Gospel—to turn to the One True God found in the person of Jesus Christ. This particular Pharisee is named Nicodemus. He visits Jesus at night, because he doesn’t want other people see him visiting with the Savior of the Nations, Jesus. Nicodemus gets right to the heart of his questions about Jesus. ‘Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.’” In Jewish thinking, God only looked favorably upon people, who did good things—who obeyed his Laws. Jesus jumps right into this conversation, knowing this is another opportunity for him to share the truth of God’s Word with Nicodemus, who believes that Jesus IS the Messiah prom- ised since the foundation of the world. “3 Jesus answered him, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.’ 4 Nicodemus said to him, ‘How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?’ 5 Jesus answered, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, un- less one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” (John 3:3-6) Jesus jumps right to his main point: “…unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” In other words, until your heart has been changed by God the Holy Spirit, you cannot get to heaven. You cannot get to heaven unless you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord. 3 You cannot live as a sinner and then expect God to simply overlook your sinful ways, thoughts and deeds. On the contrary, God tells us in the Prophet Ezekiel that if you are a sinner, and you turn away from your sinful deeds, thoughts and actions, then you will be saved. You will definitely go to heav- en. But the Prophet Ezekiel also points out that if you have been a “good person” and did “good deeds”, but then you started doing evil deeds and became a “bad person”, God says that your previ- ous “good deeds” meant nothing and you will go to hell when you die. In addition to Jesus pointing out to Nicodemus that you cannot get to heaven without the Holy Spirit changing your heart—convicting you of your sins and then reminding you of God’s for- giveness—Jesus points out the importance of baptism: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” This is what the Small Catechism explains about Baptism: the Second Part: “What benefits does Baptism give? It works forgiveness of sins, rescues from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this, as the words and promises of God declare.

Prior to our arrival, my grandmother did everything she could think of to make sure our stay would be perfect. She put candy in little containers everywhere and bought cheap comic books for us. She made a huge jar of bubble mixture out of dish soap and created "magic bubble wands" out of old hangers. As I grew older, I came to realize that my grandparents were poor, though I would never have guessed it back then. Every evening before bedtime, I'd sit out on the small front porch with my grandmother and blow soap bubbles. Sometimes the evening summer breeze would blow the bubbles back to us, and they would land on my cheek with a tiny pop. I'd screech with laughter and my grandmother would sometimes say, "That's a whisper from Jesus." "What's he whispering about?" I'd ask.

Philosophy Understanding God’s Justice Towards Those Who Suffer: A Critique of Eleonore Stump’s Defense (88pp.) Director of Thesis: James Petrik Within philosophical discussions of the problem of evil, the issue of God’s justice towards those who suffer is of primary importance. In this thesis, I consider one aspect of this issue by analyzing and critiquing Eleonore Stump’s claim that justice requires God to compensate the human sufferer for instances of undeserved and involuntary suffering. I critique her view on the grounds that a) such moral constraints upon God exceed what distributive justice requires, b) there is a disparity between her view and its Thomistic foundation, and c) such a view fails to align with the notion of justice advocated in contemporary moral theories. Approved: James Petrik Associate Professor of Philosophy Dedication In loving memory of my grandparents, Elmer and Rose Gaier and Harold and Reva Liette, whose faith in God no amount of suffering could deter Acknowledgements I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to those whom have helped me reach the successful completion of not only a Master of Arts degree, but of a personal educational goal.

  • 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.
