The local LCMS church offers passionate preaching focused on Christ and His work, a beautiful form of liturgical worship, and the Lord's Supper weekly with wine. <BR/><BR/>Some of their other distinctives are hard for me to swallow right now, but they have what we have been longing for in terms of worship, and they're less than a mile from my house!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136337791527584892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5282086.post-1111415534987560292005-03-21T07:32:00.000-07:002005-03-21T07:32:00.000-07:00I've heard this unfortunate charge against Redempt...I've heard this unfortunate charge against Redemptive-Historical preaching.

But after talking with Pastor Jackson we have begun to consider whether that approach neglects the preaching of "the imperatives", i.e. our duty as Christians. <BR/><BR/>It seems to me that not emphasizing Christ enough is more dangerous than not emphasizing the imperatives enough, but it would be great to have both.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136337791527584892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5282086.post-1110984150509671022005-03-16T07:42:00.000-07:002005-03-16T07:42:00.000-07:00Thanks, Barb.
