The distinction between reality and virtual reality (which is imaginary, but can feel very real, or even more real) is diminishing. This is evident in virtual communion and substituting online watching with actual fleshly participation. The virtual gives us control and power, like gods, whereas the sinful world we cannot dominate or change like we … Continue reading VR Church →

I do ask the sinner if he wishes to hear the law, but tell them their sin. Every Christian (“brother” in Matt. 18) has the power of … Continue reading Critique of Dr. Cario’s Statement on Dr. Schulz →

The 8th commandment has become the bureaucrat’s favorite commandment—as a bully stick to bludgeon all discussion, while keeping public matters semi-private and out of the media. It is not gossip that a professor at CUW—an ordained LCMS pastor—was suspended and prevented from teaching.
