Bloghardt's Reflector


“If now I seek the forgiveness of sins, I do not run to the cross, for I will not find it given there… But I will find in the sacrament or Gospel the word which distributes, presents, offers, and gives to me that forgiveness which was won on the Cross.” (AE 40, 214)

Luke 16:19-31 - Trinity I (2005)

Posted At: 6:53am by Bloghardt

The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. (St. Luke 16:19-31)

In the Name of Jesus. Amen. Today's Gospel turns everything upside down—everything we wretched sinners esteem so highly.

Bloghardt's Second Rule

Posted At: 7:16pm by Bloghardt
I didn't realize that my first rule would be met with such joy, so I'll answer with another of Bloghardt's Rulez.

Bloghardt's Second Rule: if you can understand a sermon apart from the cross, then you haven't heard a Lutheran sermon. If the sermon doesn't make sense without the cross, then you've heard a Lutheran sermon.

I wanted to see what I preached last [ read more ]

By Bloghardt, I think Pr. Peperkorn's got it!

Posted At: 8:40pm by Bloghardt

If you didn't catch it earlier, there was an interesting comment by Pastor Peperkorn:

They break out their cellphone video recorders and record themselves asking how someone "could believe on Jesus."

They've got a video of it... it's comical.

Great kids, if
