Don't miss today's episode of Word and Work: An Intersection! President Emeritus Dr. Dale A. Meyer talks with Rev. Osmar Lehenbauer, a retired pastor and former president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod New England District. Lehenbauer served as pastor of Meyer’s home congregation, Saint Paul’s Lutheran Church in Chicago Heights. The two men talk in great depth about the importance of families in the great mission of the church. “In passing down the faith from generation to generation, a lot of times, the way to do it is right in front of us,” Meyer says. “At the dining room table. Watching TV. It’s the family.” Watch the episode now and anytime on the Concordia Theology blog and on our Facebook page, @ConcordiaSem!

#MeyerMinute for April 14

Our turbulent times are shaking basic institutions of American life, including the church. Gallup’s report that 47% of U.S. adults belong to a church or synagogue or mosque, down 20 points from the year 2000, has church people talking, maybe even panicked.

This morning I saw a post on “Buzz Feed” quoting why people left church. “The church we went to was a really boisterous, hallelujah type place … So I went to the bathroom to try and avoid a full blown panic attack. When I was in there a few ladies crowded me and were saying I should take the panic as a sign that the Lord was flowing through me.” Another, “I think church is mostly a social group for people with similar cultural beliefs, more than an exercise in spirituality.” Another, “I started to realize that the teachings of the church weren’t Biblical. Every Sunday the pastor would talk about righteousness that was really nationalism.” “Raw Story” quoted well-known Christian blogger, Paul Maxwell, “I think it’s important to say that I’m just not a Christian anymore, and it feels really good.”

Looking at American society, we see substitute saviors, like politics (my kind, of course, not yours), economy (getting what I deserve) and the like. When we look at the church, do we see a substitute for the Savior? When the dominant culture put Christians on the defensive, St. Peter wrote, “It is time for judgment to begin at the household of God” (1 Peter 4:17). As I observe and read, I wonder if we have unwittingly substituted the life and activity of our congregations for Jesus. Have we put so many filters on the Jesus revealed to us in the Gospels, that He might say, “I never knew you”? (Matt. 7:23). I’m not accusing, just wondering.
