It’s Still About Jesus The Reformation was not about anything new, but about returning to the unchanged and unchanging truth of God’s Word. So it is still today. The celebration of the 500th anniver-sary of the Reformation is not a time for novelty. It is a time to return: to the truth, to the basics, to the foundation.

Do you remember the Small Catechism? Many of us were made to memorize the cate-chism (or at least part of it) during our Confirmation classes. Some of us might have even suffered through a public examination over its contents.

How much do you remember? Say it with me: “I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him…” Can you finish? Do you remember where that is found? (It’s in Luther’s explanation of the Third Article of the Apostles’ Creed.)

It’s time to return. Luther wrote the Small Catechism for the instruction of laypeople. Luther intended the Small Catechism to be used at church and in the home to instruct children in the faith and to reinforce the faith in the hearts and minds of adults.

There is no better time than in this year of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation to review the catechism. Read it for yourself. Refresh the theology in your mind. Pray the catechism daily. Memorize it. But even more, teach it. If you are a parent, teach it to your children. As you have opportunity, share it with your friends and peers. The catechism teaches the fundamentals of the Christian faith: the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer, the Apostles’ Creed, the Sacrament of Baptism, the Sacrament of the Altar and the Office of the Keys and Confession. This small book is well worth your time and study.

May this celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation be a time when we re-turn to the Word and Sacraments, when we turn to Christ and His love. It’s still all about Jesus.

In Christ, Pastor

Reformation Talking Points THE LUTHERAN CHURCH—MISSOURI SYNOD

ConcordiaHistoricalInstitute.org

1. WHY CELEBRATE LUTHER? I’VE HEARD HE SAID SOME THINGS EVEN LUTHERANS DON’T AGREE WITH. Martin Luther, an intellectual giant with a strong personality, is not the true focus of the Reformation. The focus of the Reformation is God’s love and action for humanity in His Son Jesus Christ. The question of the Reformation is how a person deals with their guilty conscience. Luther and the other Reformers taught that the solution comes from outside of a person, from what God did in His Son Jesus Christ. Luther proclaimed the crucified God as the center of real living.

2. LUTHER WROTE TERRIBLE THINGS AGAINST THE JEWS. WHY CELEBRATE AN ANTI-SEMITIC RACIST? Martin Luther did write some very upsetting things against the Jewish people near the end of his life. The Lutheran church has repeatedly said that we do not follow nor agree with those statements. The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod does not follow Luther’s writings as doctrine or divinely inspired. Luther himself was inconsistent on his writings about Jewish people. He did write against them, but he also said that Christians should honor Jewish people and thank God for them. Lutherans believe that God loves everyone, all people, and that Jesus Christ died and rose for every single person — regardless of their nationality. Because God so loves the world, Christians are called to love, also.

3. WHY DO YOU CALL YOURSELVES LUTHERANS? The name Lutherans is not primarily a reference to Martin Luther the man, but to his teachings about the truth of the Gospel. Luther reformed the Church by teaching the truth of Scripture. Luther taught that God saves people through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ. This salvation is given by grace through faith and not by works. Luther taught what the early Church and the apostles taught in the New Testament. This return to the truth of God’s Word is the cause and reason for celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. Many of our congregations are named for saints. Yet, it is not the saints we worship, but the Christ whom they taught. The same is true for Luther. It is not the man we treasure, but the truth about Jesus that he proclaimed.

4. DID LUTHER LEAD TO HITLER? No. Many people presume, based on charges William Shirer brought against Luther in his book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, that Luther taught the German people to never resist any government authority, even if it is corrupt. But this is not accurate. Luther taught that God rules in two different realms: the right-hand realm of the Church, in which God rules by grace through His Word and Sacraments; and the left-hand realm of society, in which God rules by human reason and force to curb evil and preserve order. Luther said that it is not God’s will for the Church to try to rule in the left-hand realm, just as it is not His will for the government to mandate what the Church teaches. Luther did not, however, advocate unquestioned quietism. Toward the end of his life, Luther acknowledged that there are times when the secular authorities might be so corrupt that Christians must resist. Yet Luther said that this should never be violent, but always done in good order and according to law.

5. DIDN’T THE LUTHERANS AND THE CATHOLICS MEND THEIR DIFFERENCES OVER JUSTIFICATION? This was Luther’s desire (and the desire of the other Reformers). Sadly, the Catholic Church has yet to yield to the Scriptural teaching of justification by grace through faith for Christ’s sake, without any merit, works or satisfactions on man’s part. The recent pronouncements that this has taken place are sadly misleading. The Roman Catholic Church does not define faith or grace the same way the Scriptures do, and thus their agreement that people are saved by grace through faith is not a true agreement with what Lutherans mean when using the same words according to Scripture.

3

6. WHY DO YOU CELEBRATE A MAN WHEN YOU TEACH SCRIPTURE ALONE? The Lutheran church does not celebrate Luther, but rejoices in the Scriptures as the only source for our doctrine and life. The Reformation taught that authority is found in the Scriptures and not in the clergy or councils of the Church. The Scriptures are God’s inspired and inerrant Word, and therefore can be fully trusted and believed. God’s Word is the only place we look for truth and revelation of God.

7. WHO CARES ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED 500 YEARS AGO? IS THIS STILL RELEVANT? The central issue of the Reformation was humanity’s place in existence. How do we exist before God and before each other? Is there truth? Is there meaning? Is there evil? Is there love? How can God exist if evil exists? These questions occupy conversations today, and were the exact questions that Luther and the other Reformers wrestled with. Sure, their context was different than ours today, but the questions and their answers are the same. The Reformation is about not figuring out God by your own speculative thoughts. The person who follows that path is already wrong. Don’t look within but without, to the Scriptures where God makes promises. The Reformation teaches us to look to God in the Scriptures to answer our questions. The questions we ask about humanity are addressed in God’s love in Christ. The questions about who God is are answered through Christ’s death and resurrection. And there are also questions that we learn we cannot answer. We are taught to trust in the God who is love.

Sunday School News

We welcome back Derek & Darshee Buist, Lisa Chandler, Jo Giles,

Brian & Magdalena Quinn to the 2017—2018 regular Sunday School

classes. A “BIG” welcome to Tonya Hedquist for joining the Sunday

School staff. A “SPECIAL” welcome to all the students attending

classes.

The Sunday School teachers are looking forward to studying God’s

Word with the students. During October teachers and students will be

looking together at the Old Testament Bible accounts of Elijah is

Taken to Heaven, Naaman & Elisha, Jonah, Hezekiah, and Jeremiah

& God’s New Covenant.

In Continuing what Luther began, the Sunday School offerings will be

going to Catechisms and Bibles for children around the world. 500

years ago, Martin Luther knew his people needed two important

things; the Bible translated into their own language, and a small

catechism to help them understand it. Today kids and families all

around the world still need these same things.

Teaching and substitute teaching positions are always open to

anyone who may like working with the children of Trinity.

Just let the church office know. (307) 234-0568

God’s Blessings as

we enter the

fall season.

The Trinity Lutheran Women's Missionary League will meet October 14th in the LWML room

at 9:30 a. m. All ladies are invited and welcome to attend a meeting at any time! Please use the

back entrance by the kitchen if you would like to join us!

Upcoming Activities

LWML Sunday is October 8th. This year’s theme is “Be Ready - In Season and Out of Season”.

We will be serving goodies in the Parish Hall after the Divine Service. We will also be collecting

mites as usual. Look for information in the bulletin.

Mites and Missions

Each month LWML sends a donation to a different mission project. October’s donation goes to

the Wind River Indian Lutheran Missions. This provides funding for the Wyoming District

LCMS Ministry on the Wind River Indian Mission at Fort Washakie.

The mites collected on the 2nd Sunday of each month go to the Wyoming District office to be

distributed to a total of 8 grants that were voted on by delegates from each society in the district

at the last Wyoming District Convention which was in Chadron, NE in June of 2016. The total

grant amount is $40,000.00, $22,000.00 of which has been paid. Some of the grants being paid

are Tell The Good News Convocation, Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran School, Alliance, NE

and Pastoral Education, West Africa - instruction resources.

Book Nook

(A Christian Living Resource Center)

You will find cards for every occasion in the book nook. Cards include a printed scripture verse.

The Book Nook is located in the LWML room just outside of the Fellowship Hall. If you need

assistance please see Jo Giles or call her at 235-1664 .

Quilting

The quilting ladies meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays each month at 9 a.m. in the fellowship Hall,

September through May. October quilting times will be Tuesday, October 3rd and 17th. Last

year we made 44 quilts that were donated to The Wind River Indian Mission, The Central

Wyoming Rescue Mission and Interfaith. We also donated quilts and fleece blankets at the Fall

Rally which was held at Mount Hope that went to Central Wyoming Hospice. We can always

use any size sheets, or blankets in good repair. Queen size or larger flat sheets or blankets work

best. If you have any you would like to donate, there is a box in the LWML room for them. A big

thank you to those who have donated in the past! Without your help we could not have made so

many! Anyone who would like to help make them is welcome at any time! If you have any

questions see Jan Joslyn or call her at 235-3355.

Mount Hope Lutheran School News

With great joy and thankfulness, we began the 2017-2018 school year at Mount Hope

Lutheran School. Our year began with our teachers being installed and then appreciated

at our annual Teacher Appreciation Breakfast. We were pleased to see so many of our

friends from Trinity there to celebrate with us. Thank you for your support!

As you may know, Miss Heather Judd married Rev. Sean Smith in June, and so we

have repositioned our staff. Miss Kate Olson teaches our 6th-8th grades this year. Miss Lydia

Ekin teaches 3rd-5th grades and Miss Amanda Gehrke teaches our 1st and 2nd grades. Miss

Tarayca Walters still teaches our preschoolers and Mr. Roger Hedlund remains our orchestra

instructor. We are delighted to welcome Mrs. Erin Christensen as our morning Kindergarten

teacher this year and Mr. Sage Haight as our P.E. instructor. Under the leadership of Pastor

Preus, these talented and creative teachers instruct our 56 students in the way they should

go.

Mount Hope is humbled and honored by your generous support of our school over

the years. We appreciate your help as we strive to help parents and the church to raise

their children in wisdom and piety. You are always welcome at any of our events. The

calendar on our church website will let you know the latest happenings: mounthopecas-

per.org.

Our next big function is our Reformation-themed Fall Carnival on Friday, October 20th

at 5:00 p.m. Come join us for games and have dinner with our school families. Game

tickets are $.50 a piece if purchased in advance or $1.00 at the door. If you have questions,

please call the school at 234-6865 or visit with Mrs. Hedquist.

Below are some easy ways you may support Mount Hope Lutheran School. The funds

that we raise from these help us provide extra things for our classrooms and playground.

Scrip Cards: Scrip cards are gift cards from vendors who are willing to give our school

a rebate from every card you order. If you purchase a $100 gift card from Walmart, Mount

Hope will receive 2.5% back, regardless of when you choose to use your gift card. Some

stores donate 7% or 8% to us. Please ask Mrs. Hedquist or Mrs. Harris (MHLS school secretary)

for an order form and they’ll be happy to help you.

Smith’s: Smith’s Inspiring Donations returns a percentage of your purchase to Mount

Hope. Just register your Smith’s Rewards card at www.smithsfoodanddrug.com/topic/

Mount Hope will receive a rebate. The first time you shop, register under “Mount Hope

PASTORS AND CONGREGATIONS

Trinity, Rock Springs and Emmanuel, Green River are continuing their discussions

about entering into a multi-point parish arrangement. Trinity is being served by Rev. James

Martin (Emmanuel, Green River) during the vacancy.

St. James, Scottsbluff and Rev. Ralph Morris as they prepare for Pastor Morris’s

retirement at the end of November.

2018 District Convention

The Wyoming District is preparing for the 2018 District Convention, May 3–5, 2018. Your

circuits have begun meeting in Circuit Forums to elect a Circuit Visitor and to consider the

church’s business. Your congregations will be receiving more information in the coming months.

First and foremost, pray the Lord of the Church to bless our District and Synod according to

His most gracious favor in Christ.

THE BRIDE CONFESSES CHRIST: THE AUGSBURG CONFESSION

Articles 22–28 of the Augsburg Confession document and defend the changes in the

practices and ceremonies made by the Lutheran Churches. We make clear in our confession

that our doctrine determines our practice, and that our practice expresses our doctrine. In

Article 22 we explain why both the body and the blood of Christ should be given to all

communicants in the Lord’s Supper, not just to the pastors, because the blood of Christ had

been forbidden to the laity in the Roman Catholic Church. In Article 23 we defend allowing

pastors to marry, which was forbidden by the Roman Catholic Church in 1530 as it is even

today. In Article 23, especially in the Apology, we give a confession of marriage that condemns

present-day perversions or rejections of marriage, life, and family.

A Review of the Various Abuses That Have Been Corrected: “Our churches do not

dissent from any article of the faith held by the Church catholic. They only omit some of the

newer abuses. . . . It can easily be judged that if the churches observed ceremonies correctly,

their dignity would be maintained and reverence and piety would increase among the

people.” (1, 6)

A Review of the Various Abuses That Have Been Corrected: “Our churches do not dis-

sent from any article of the faith held by the Church catholic. They only omit some of the newer

abuses. . . . It can easily be judged that if the churches observed ceremonies correctly, their dignity

would be maintained and reverence and piety would increase among the

people.” (1, 6)

Article 22, Both Kinds in the Sacrament: “The laity are given both kinds in the Sacra-

ment of the Lord’s Supper because this practice has the Lord’s command, “Drink of it, all of

you” (Matthew 26:27). Christ has clearly commanded that all should drink from the cup. .

. . This custom [of the Roman church] has been received, not only against the Scripture, but also

against old canon law and the example of the Church. Therefore, if anyone preferred to use both

kinds in the Sacrament, they should not have been compelled to do otherwise, as an offense against

their conscience. Because the division of the Sacrament does not agree with the institution of

Christ, it is our custom to omit the procession [with the host, i.e. the Corpus Christi Procession],

which has been used before.” (1–2, 10–12)

Article 24, The Marriage of Priests: “Complaints about unchaste priests are

common. . . . Since our priests wanted to avoid these open scandals, they married wives and taught

that it was lawful for them to enter into marriage. First, because Paul says, “Because of the temp-

tation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife” and “It is better to marry than to

be aflame with passion” (1 Corinthians 7:2, 9b). Second, Christ says, “Not

everyone can receive this saying” (Matthew 19:11), where He teaches that not everyone is able to

lead a single life. God created man for procreation (Genesis 1:28). It is not within human power,

without God giving a unique gift, to change this creation. . . . No human law, no vow, can destroy

God’s mandate and ordinance. . . . God has commanded that marriage be honored. . . . Since no hu-

man law can destroy God’s mandate, neither can it be done by any vow.” (1 –6, 8, 19, 24)

IT’S STILL ALL ABOUT JESUS: REFORMATION 2017

October 31, 1517 will be remembered this month by many people as the beginning of a revo-

lution, as the beginning of the modern age, or as the overthrow of the medieval church. None of

these assessments are accurate, though the Reformation had— and still has—a profound influence

on the world. As we celebrate the beginning of the Lutheran Reformation 500 years ago, we should

remember first of all that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther was simply carrying out his work as the

preacher in the city church in Wittenberg and as professor of Wittenberg University. He did not

envision the Reformation that resulted.

The occasion for the Ninety-Five Theses, what Luther called the “Disputation on the Power

and Efficacy of Indulgences,” was the selling of indulgences in the territory near Wittenberg. The

indulgences were authorized by the pope and were being preached as giving forgiveness of both sin

and the punishment of sin, and as releasing souls from purgatory. Luther’s Theses were cautious

about purgatory and the pope, but they attacked the underlying theology of indulgences. Luther

challenged the Roman Sacrament of Penance, which required the performance of works to make

satisfaction for sin. In attacking Penance, he was also ultimately attacking the authority of the

pope and restoring the authority of Holy Scriptures. Because the dispute over indulgences and

Penance ultimately focused upon the forgiveness of sins (justification) and the work of Jesus

Christ, the Ninety-Five Theses led to a complete reassessment of Roman Catholic doctrine and

practice under the bright light of God’s Word.

Luther posted the Theses publicly for academic disputation and sent them to various bishops

and others. In the coming months, we will look at a few of the Theses, and then we will trace the

reaction to the Ninety-Five Theses as they began to spread throughout Europe.

NEXT ROUNDUP…

… will be delivered to congregations around October 20 (November 2017 issue). Watch for it!
