Expository Lutheran: Taking Some Time Off

Taking Some Time Off

Summer is here. My boy is here. After consideration over the last few days I have decided that I will be taking this month off at a minimum. I don't know when I will be back on. Maybe July sometime, Perhaps September. I am translating Bo Giertz's commentary on Romans right now, and doing a Bible Study on Romans as well. So when I do come back the material should be pretty good. But I need to cut the work load a little right now. When finished with Romans I will have blogged through every book of the N.T. save the first five chapters of 1 Corinthians which I may go to just to say I've completed the task after what seems 7? years of blogging. Maybe then I'll go back to O.T.

My Morning Devotions, or Justification for a Pastor's Blog

I decided I need, maybe to post more often. My last year in seminary, I took a life saver of a class from Prof. Pless called the “Pastor’s Devotional Life.” In this class he suggested that a pastor’s devotions ought to be creative, in that something should be created out of them.I spend every morning in prayer and devotion, study. And I normally don’t look at the day to day of the office, Sermons, Bible Studies, visits, etc. until at the earliest mid morning. I find after spending time feeding myself from the green pasture of God’s word, I have a lot more with which to feed the sheep entrusted to me. These posts on this blog will be the fruits of my morning study, my breakfast from which I get my nourishment. I don’t want this to get complicated, it's breakfast not dinner. But I am willing to share my breakfast with you. Just thoughts that I have here and there as I read through the Greek New Testament, or the Book of Concord in German, or whatever else I happen to read in my morning devotions. Expect the musings to be eclectic.
