Expository Lutheran: The Break

The Break

My goal with this blog has been to get through the entire New Testament. I started years ago, and can't remember when. I suppose I could look that up. I started in 1 Cor. the fifth chapter. I will complete that task by the way.

I have taken the last couple weeks off of the task because I have been trying to finish translating "With My Own Eyes" by Bo Giertz before the Advent season started. I finished yesterday. But honestly, This is now going to have to wait until after the Christmas break. I just have too many things to do.

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.
