Losung und Lehrtext für Montag, den 11. Juni 2012

Rede, HERR, denn dein Knecht hört. 1.Samuel 3,9

Christus spricht: Wer mein Wort hört und glaubt dem, der mich gesandt hat, der hat das ewige Leben und kommt nicht in das Gericht, sondern er ist vom Tode zum Leben hindurchgedrungen. 
Johannes 5,24

And from Bagster’s Daily Light for June 11, 2012 – Monday Morning

He arose, and came to his father.

And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. 1

The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him. 2

For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 3

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 4

Bishop’s and rector’s reports at the LCSA diocesan synod of KwaZulu/Natal in Pella, KZN

Dean Mandla Thwala and his deputy Rev. Jabulani Nkosi (pastor at the Lutheran Church, Pella) arranged and led the diocesan synod of the LCSA diocese in KwaZulu/Natal on Saturday, the 9th June 2012.

Finalizations before the synod

Pastors and delegates from most of the 11 different congregations gathered in the Lutheran Church at Pella under God’s word and in his presence to listen to reports from the bishop on the work of the LCSA (Bishop Report 2012.6 Pella), the dean on the work in the diocese and also from the treasurer (Mr. Thomas Mabasa) and Rev. Peter C. Weber (Ohlangeni) on the status and work of ALPIK, which helps to grant sustainable incomes to the pastors of the diocese with the help of LCSA and FELSiSA congregations – but also from every pastor from the various parishes and congregations.

KwaZulu/Natal is the only diocese in the LCSA, which has Lutheran churches amongst Indian people. Their pastor Missionary Rainald Meyer reported on the work in both congregations in the Durban area: Chatsworth and Phoenix.

Besides the LCSA diocese in Botswana the diocese in KwaZulu/Natal has a significant contingent of missionaries from the Mission of Lutheran Churches (MLC), which is the official partner and mission agency of the LCSA. Yes, the LCSA is an official member of the MLC – together with the FELSiSA – and this is a very helpful, fruitful and blessed co-operation and partnership in full church fellowship for many years and even decades already. Yesterday Rev. Roger Zieger (Director of Missions from the “Lutherische Kirchenmission” Bleckmar – an official branch of the SELK) was an official guest at yesterday’s meeting too. He greeted the synod with words from 1.Cor.12,4-7 and is today preaching at the Mission festival at the Lutheran Church in Kirchdorf, which is a neighbouring congregation of that in Pella, where the synod gathered yesterday.

As rector of the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Tshwane (Pretoria) I also gave an overview of the latest developments at our Seminary and especially about our plans to expand the facility with adjacent property to accommodate the growing numbers of students in both the theological and diaconic programs, but also to raise sustainable income by providing accommodation to volunteers, students and visitors on mission and educational trips to Southern Africa (Rector’s Report 2012 KZN Pella).

Losung und Lehrtext für Dienstag, den 5. Juni 2012 + Bagster’s Light

Ihre Kinder, die das Gesetz nicht kennen, sollen es auch hören und lernen, den HERRN, euren Gott, zu fürchten alle Tage. 5.Mose 31,13

Paulus schreibt an die Gemeinde in Korinth: Ich bin jetzt bereit, zum dritten Mal zu euch zu kommen, und will euch nicht zur Last fallen; denn ich suche nicht das Eure, sondern euch. Denn es sollen nicht die Kinder den Eltern Schätze sammeln, sondern die Eltern den Kindern. 2.Korinther 12,14

and from Bagster’s “Daily Light”:

June 5, 2012 – Tuesday Morning

When ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants.1

Where is boasting then? It Is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.2 What hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?3 By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.4

By the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.5 For of him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things.6 All things come of thee and of thine own have we given thee.7

Enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.8

Readings from God’s holy word: June 4, 2012 – Monday Morning

 

Bagster’s Daily Light: The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, and in this place will I give peace.1

The house that is to be builded for the Lord must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries.2 The glory of the Lord … filled the Lord’s house.3

Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. He spake of the temple of his body.4 That which was made glorious had no glory in this respect by reason of the glory that excelleth.5 The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth.6 God … hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.7

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.8 The Prince of Peace.9 He is our peace.10 The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.11

Gott der Vater wohn’ uns bei
Und laß uns nicht verderben,

Mach’ uns aller Sünden frei
Und helf’ uns selig sterben.
Für dem Teufel uns bewahr,
Halt’ uns bei festem Glauben,
Und auf dich laß uns bauen,
Aus Herzen Grund vertrauen,
Dir uns laßen ganz und gar;
Mit allen rechten Christen
Entfliehen Teufels Listen,
Mit Waffen Gott’s uns fristen.
Amen! Amen! das sei wahr,
So singen wir, Halleluja!

Und laß uns nicht verderben,

Und laß uns nicht verberben,
