We live in a world that has so grossly perverted the idea of love, so its easy to avoid thinking about God's love for us, because that could be a little gross and uncomfortable. Thankfully scripture gives us beautiful readings on love, and Chapter 4 of Song of Songs is a great love poem. Chad meditates and encourages us all, and Chris Lizotte and Jamie Eichler sing "Come to the Garden, My Beloved" Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Pre-order: Ditching the Checklist by Mark Mattes Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, Book 1 of 2 by Amy Mantravadi Bible in One Year with Chad Bird Junk Drawer Jesus By Matt Popovits Take 20% Off Our Lenten Devotionals until March 5th: The Sinner/Saint Lenten Devotional Finding Christ in the Straw: A Forty-Day Devotion on the Epistle of James More from the hosts: Chad Bird

For Valentine's Day, Gretchen Ronnevik and Katie Koplin talk about the trend of writing marriage vows, and some of the pitfalls of such a trend. What are the purpose of marriage vows? We look at trends, from both conservative and liberal perspectives, to define marriage beyond "for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health." We look at the history of marriage vows, what was going on in the church at the time, how marriage was redefined from being a sacrament to being a vocation, and the implications of all of that. With an eye on freedom, they talk about the burden of the younger generation to be unique and define themselves as a couple, and consistently reinvent the wheel. The gift of tradition can be burden lifting, so that you don't lose the plot of what marriage is, and what it is for.

What is the Church, and who belongs to it? Erasmus assails Luther with an attempt to place him outside of the Church. Luther responds with Scripture and shows that consensus and works are not how the Church is formed but that God gathers the faithful and makes them the Church.

Lutheran Preaching and Teaching from St. John Random Lake, Wisconsin
February 8, 2025
The Thinking Fellows talk about the limitations of scientific progress. Skepticism of previous scientific advancements in medicine and chemical engineering has paved the path for more people to question technological progress and the good it can do for humanity. Yet many skeptics still look to the future and advancing technology as a solution for death, suffering, and sin. By understanding the realities of sin and death, Christians can walk a realistic line where technology can be leveraged for the good of this life and neighbor. Still, we know it will never solve death and can always be used to accomplish evil means.

The Spirit will empower a life that the law can't. Friday • 2/7/2025 •Week of 4 Epiphany This morning's Scriptures are: Psalm 88; Isaiah 61:1–9; 2 Timothy 3:1–17; Mark 10:32–45 This morning's Canticles are: following the OT reading, Canticle 10 (“The Second Song of Isaiah,” Isaiah 55:6–11; BCP, p. 86); following the Epistle reading, Canticle 18 (“A Song to the Lamb,” Revelation 4:11; 5:9–10, 13, BCP, p. 93)
Today in first John chapter 2, we are taking a look at verses 5 through 8 with Dr. Mitchell exploring the test of our profession of fellowship with God who is light. Divine fellowship, he explains, has a corresponding action here on earth. So with Dr. Michell let us explore what is this evidence of our fellowship with God who is light. Here is Dr Mitchell in 1st John 2:5-8.
30 Then Jesus answered and said: "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. There are so many lessons for us to learn from the story that Jesus told to the lawyer here in Luke 10. Yesterday we talked about the number of times that the word “certain” is used in this brief story. “A certain lawyer” (v. 25). “A certain man” (v. 30). “A certain priest” (v. 31). “A certain Samaritan” (v. 33). Jesus seems to zero in on very specific individuals and the attitudes or actions that they exhibit in this passage. Jesus knows and is very interested in every detail of our lives. We have noted that the great question the lawyer asks about is how to inherit eternal life. Even if he asked it for the wrong motive, it is still one of the great questions we should all think about! Because “what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul” (Mark 8:36). What is more important that having “eternal life”? Remember “eternal life” is not living forever and forever and forever! Jesus in His High Priestly prayer in John 17:3 said, “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” Eternal life is personally experiencing the life of God Himself dwelling in us through Jesus Christ! The first person we meet is this “lawyer”. He was not a lawyer in the way we think of lawyers today. But he was an expert in the Old Testament Law of Moses. He knew the first five books of Bible and all the teachings of the Rabbis' that go with them over the years. So when Jesus ask him what he read in it, he gave the correct summary of the law in the same way that Jesus did when He was asks by another lawyer in Matthew 22:36-40. In this passage Jesus replied: “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Jesus is making it clear that the real evidence that we love God is that we love the people around us with all of our heart and in the same way we love ourselves! You will love your neighbor in the same way that you love God! John speaks a lot about this in the Epistle of 1 John. The next person in the story that Jesus mentions is the “certain man who went down from Jerusalem to Jericho”. Now Jericho was the Las Vegas of their day. It was a place that symbolized everything that is of the world and it's pleasures. It was down in the Jordan Valley right next to the Dead Sea! How interesting is that. It was the place you go to drown out your problems with drugs, drinking, pleasure and every other evil things you can do. Jerusalem was up on a mountain and was the place of the presence of God. The temple and worship of God was there. It was the place of the communion, of prayer, of Bible study and meditation on the eternal things of God! Jesus said that this certain man, “went down from Jerusalem”. He left the place of security and worship and fellowship with the Lord to “go down” to the world and the place of danger, destruction and death. My friend, whenever you leave and neglect your place of communion with the Lord in His Word, in prayer, and fellowship with other believers in His church, you are on your way down! The thief, Satan is waiting to pounce on you, steal your joy, your peace, your love for God and others and destroy your life! What a lesson for us today! Which way are you headed today? God bless!

We do have three implacable enemies that want to keep us from having fellowship with the living God who is light. But we do have a provision through our Lord Jesus Christ who is both or advocate and the propitiation for our sins. What a wonderful provision that the Lord has made for us. Dr Mitchell continues to explain to us more of the evidence that we know that we do know Him. Here is Dr. Mitchell, 1 John 2:2-5.

The sixth message in the Epistle of Jude is both an admonition and an encouragement. The admonition is to not be moved away from the doctrine that keeps us going from faith to faith, despite those that creep into the church with "special revelations." The encouragement is to never forget the grace of God. The same grace of God extended to Moses, sending Michael the archangel to contend for his body despite his mistake which cost him the Promised Land, is the same grace He extends to us, the ones who have answered His call.
