1. The sacraments aren't being rightly and regularly administered. 2. The Scriptures aren't being read, studied, and rightly taught. 3. The focus of the service is on entertainment. 4. The teaching glorifies the individual. 5. The church worships its pastor. ^There's the list, now you can skip the video :D Or watch it if you'd like.

You'll find that the phrase "God never gives you more than you can handle" isn't in the Bible. Rather, He regularly gives you more than you can handle, but not more than He does handle.

During this day I checked out a session where I was warned I would encounter CRT, I went to another session about LGBT+ and Christian love, got an audio interview with Rev Nick Gonzales, and conducted an email conversation with Rev Pulliam about techniques in presenting Law and Gospel.

During this day I was able to see if Deaconess Bolling was teaching critical race theory, (including an audio interview with her), enjoy a few great sessions, and laugh at a skit for all the wrong reasons.

This is a review and interviews for Day 1 of the LCMS 2022 Youth Gathering. Unlike the general review, this one focuses on the specifics of the sessions, the mass events, and the divine service. It also includes interviews with some of the speakers of some of the more controversial sessions. In this day I interviewed Rev Ken Chitwood regarding his session "Religion Religions Religious" and talked about ecumenism, religious pluralism, and synchronism. I had my first look at the group Bible study, and commented on the good and the bad of the Mass Event at the end of the day.

No one is truly free, everyone is a slave to something, either they serve God or they serve their sin. Slaves don't earn a paycheck, but God gives eternal life as a free gift while the end of slavery to sin is death.

This is the final part of the video review of the Gathering, and probably the one people will be most interested in watching. The other parts will get into specific details on the sessions and interviews, but this video deals with the two big events: The nightly mass events, and the Divine Service.

This was my first youth gathering, so I attended it and tried to document my impressions. In this first video I give general impressions of the entire gathering, in the next video I will get into the specific events I attended (including interviews with some presenters). And if I make a 3rd video, it will be a response to all the questions I receive online since releasing the first video. I hope you and the 20 other people who watch 5 minutes of this video enjoy it, I actually had a lot of fun making it. *********************** Marquart quote: “What then shall we make of the idea that "the youth" get bored with sameness and therefore require constant innovations to keep them interested? The sentiment is well-meaning enough but is essentially misguided. It is true that initially some silly youngsters (by no means all) may enjoy having the service turned into a variety show, especially one that is flattering to the inane Youth Cult images promoted by the media for profit. In the long term, however, such an approach is bound to produce conscious or subconscious contempt for the church. Who, after all, could respect an institution, which is after two thousand years' experience, so confused about its functions as to say: "Dear children, help us! We are no longer sure about what we ought to be doing. Perhaps you might have some good ideas?" Who could possibly take seriously the play-worship prefixed with that horrid word, 'experimental'? The fact is that no healthy, viable society lets its children arbitrate its values. It is for the elders of the tribe to guard its cultural heritage and to transmit it solemnly to the younger generation - never vice versa. Also in our society the problem is not with the youth but with their elders. If youth are confused about values, it is mainly because their parents are. If the liturgy is boring to children it is usually because the parents do not find it very interesting either. If children saw adults treating the Sunday Service as the most important activity of their lives, they would respect it too, and would never dream of treating it as a pop-event, to be tinkered with by every Tom, Dick, and Harry. A church which has won the conscientious loyalty of parents - particularly fathers (Eph. 3:15, 6:4) - will have the devotion of their children too. But a church which abjectly capitulates to the whims and tastes of adolescents will have, and deserve, neither.” Excerpt from: Kurt Marquart, "Liturgical Commonplaces," Concordia Theological Quarterly: Volume 42, Number 4 (October 1978): 343.

This is not to say that abortion is justified or that The Age of Accountability Theory is Biblically coherent, nor that those who believe in the latter necessarily support the former. But if the Age of Accountability theology is true, then this is how its conclusion may lead to abortion being the ideal state for all children. It is my position, and the position of the LCMS that "The Age of Accountability" is false doctrine and that abortion is sin. Though even such a sin finds forgiveness through repentance and faith in the death of Jesus Christ.

Why did Thomas doubt the resurrection? Didn't he have evidence, trustworthy accounts, and a history with Jesus that should have led him to trust the resurrection?
