A prayer for fathers (adapted from the Pastoral Ca A prayer for fathers (adapted from the Pastoral Care Companion) Almighty and gracious God, in every age You have inspired men to labor, through various vocations, in Your kingdom. Continue to grant to the men called fathers — in the family and in the faith — faithfulness in serving You and upholding the truth of Your Word that they may respond to Your redeeming love in Christ Jesus by devoting themselves to seeking and doing Your holy will and following in the footsteps of our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. (138)
Fourth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 7) Job 38:1–11; Psalm 124; 2 Cor. 6:1–13; Mark 4:35–41 “Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said: “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me. “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? “Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb, when I made clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band, and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors, and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed’?" (Job 38:1-11)

#MeyerMinute for June 15 I was asked to review a #MeyerMinute for June 15 I was asked to review a sermon preached in chapel at Concordia Seminary, and it was a fine sermon. Due to COVID restrictions, I watched online. As I reviewed the written manuscript, I was struck by how much I missed because I experienced it online. The ancient teacher of rhetoric, Quintilian, said about the hearer: “He will have many other thoughts to distract him unless what we say is so clear that our words will thrust themselves into his mind even when he is not giving us his attention, just as the sunlight forces itself upon the eyes. Therefore, our aim must be not to put him in a position to understand our argument, but to force him to understand it.” (Institutes, VIII, II, 23) True enough, my mind wandered watching the stream. I wasn’t part of a captive audience in the sanctuary. My eyes could flit and my mind wander to other things in the room. I could talk with Diane, not whisper to her as you might in church. I could get up and go get something to drink if I wanted. A pressing question as we come out of COVID is why in-person worship is preferable to online. Before the internet, we would say you go to church to hear the Word of God, but now a parishioner can do that without getting out of pajamas. There are many good reasons why in-person worship is most desirable, but I just highlight that hearing a sermon in person is a more immersed experience. Watching online is a spectator activity, helpful but not as engaging as being there. The sounds that stir the air, the churchly surrounding, the interaction between the speaker preaching and the listener thinking… these are incomparably heightened by in-person worship. I was blessed watching that sermon online, and how wonderful that technology gives us this capability, but would that I had been there! Dr. Dale A. Meyer President Emeritus Concordia Seminary, St. Louis #Lutheran #theologicaleducation #LCMS
The role of suffering in the life of the believer, The role of suffering in the life of the believer, and the ensuing crisis of faith and ministry that can follow, is the focus of Concordia Seminary’s Aug. 7 Lay Bible Institute, “When Things Fall Apart: Job’s Frightening Journey,” led by Dr. Henry Rowold, professor emeritus of Practical Theology. During this intensive study of the book of Job, Rowold will help participants examine the dialogue of Job and his friends, and the attempts of people, those suffering and those ministering, to make sense of the difficulties. Participants will explore the conversation between God and Job and the resolution of faith that emerges. Open to anyone interested in the proclamation of the Gospel, the one-day workshop will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug.7 in Sieck Hall 202 on campus, 801 Seminary Place, St. Louis, MO 63105. Registration deadline is July 23. Cost is $20 per person. The Lay Bible Institute, offered three times a year by Concordia Seminary faculty members, is an ongoing study of the Bible and how it relates to today’s life and events. For more information or to register, visit csl.edu/lbi or contact Continuing Education at 314-505-7286 or ce@csl.edu.
