He's a preacher, not a motivational speaker.
How presumptuous of them, whoever they are, to make such a personal statement to their readers.
He isn't speaking in a void. Many of his audience are tired of Hobby Lobby et al. Tired that we have had to waste time and treasure diverting attention away from what we should be doing, to fight the gov't in court over something in the 1st Amendment. Tired of fighting the same gov't we pay taxes to over pro-life issues. Doesn't mean we'll stop, just tired of this crap.
Theres a reason for that though. We, the electorate, are the problem and whats happening in govt is only a symptom.
The problem is the American peopel who endorse and vote for tyranny even if they are too dumb to be able to spell the word.
Okay... I'll put him right next to the guy who put a sign up on the marquee that said "God wants to kill you."
This article is a statement from LCMS President Harrison.
Roberts should swing for this whole mess.
Hey, I actually preached a sermon once with that exact title, "God Wants to Kill You." It caught people's attention, and then I explained in what sense that is true.
And so, if you read at all beyond the title of this article, you quickly understand where LCMS President Harrison is going with this. And then Harrison sums it up like this at the end: "Friends, we may be weary. We may be tired. But we must stand together to protect our God-given right to religious liberty."
This is his second term as elected head of the conservative Missouri Synod's Lutherans....and from all accounts he's doing a stand-up biblical job!

Bttt
I daresay a statement like that alienated most everyone who just drove by and saw it on the marquee. That is if you care about what they think, otherwise why would I bother?
As for this guy telling me I'm tired of whatever...
"Ah ain't no ways tahrd..." :)
Almost seems like you didn’t read the article.
The first sentence was enough for me.
I'm out the door off to an invigorating day of honest work, and I'm not gonna let it be spoiled by anyone offering me a suggestion of fatigue about anything before it even gets started.
And when I get home I'm gonna give thanks for it and then give thanks for a nice meal too and then a solid night's rest.
Tomorrow this same guy will be offering the same suggestion to someone else in a different way:
"You sure look tired. Does it hurt in your back yet?"
Yeah, I doubt it, but then I actually have read the post, and have an attention span.
suggestion of fatigue about anything before it even gets started.
The case has been going on for awhile. Besides the Pastor is speaking to sinners, apparently some have risen above that, good for you.
There should never have been anything in “insurance” regarding sex at all for all these years, unless it actually is a necessity for health/medical reasons.
Abortion, birth control, men’s sexual enhancement (why is it never for women, who have more trouble anyway?) - NONE of these is a medical issue.
All of them are for convenience and have nothing to do with maintaining the life of the subject.
Yet, guess what I could get tax-free? Both off the shelf, and prescription? You guessed it - I can get sex stuff without penalty. No co-pay on BC pills. Simple condoms with no tax! Meanwhile, my chronic necessities - colon and reflux troubles, embolism - I have to pay for these including tax! Unbelievable! (Yes, I have stated my displeasure and shock anytime that happened.)
They truly are moving us toward Idiocracy (TM). Intentionally.
That’s so nice.
I try to be.
You remind me of someone.
I should. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
"Besides the Pastor is speaking to sinners, apparently some have risen above that, good for you."
No, I've met Jesus and you don't remind me of him. Not in the least.
You are Steve, and nothing more.
Of course I don't, I'm a sinner, but a redeemed one. You OTOH remind me of a lib.
