This is what the noise is about. Read for yourself and see, what you make of it. After all it’s your history too … and no one has the monopoly over that – not even with an absolute majority in parliament.

Here is the drawing from God’s word and the accompanying teaching for Friday, the 11th May 2012:

Losung und Lehrtext für Freitag, den 11. Mai 2012

But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. (Jer 1:7 ESV) 

and

You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus (2Ti 2:1 ESV)

That’s where you were saved …

“To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness…” (Daniel 9,9) and “But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,  he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit” (Titus 3,4-5)

tsa Kereke ya Lutere- zekerike ngokobuLuthere

 Motsheganong 2012

 Dipolelo tse dingwe tsa ga Henry C. Schwahn go tlhokomela pharologanyo ya tiriso ya molao le Efangele ka fa molaong le ka fa Efangeleng mo ditherong, mo dithutong, le mo ditirong tse dingwe tsa kereke, gongwe tsa phuthego ke tse:

Polelo ya 17

Ka tlwaelo re ntse re golegetswe mo tirisong ya molao le Efangele ka fa molaong, gongwe re lea fela molao, re o ikgatolosa fela, gonne Efangele ga se ya tlhago ya rona, ka fa tlhagong ya rona ga re utlwane le yona.

Polelo ya 18

 Re tlhaselwa mo matlhakoreng a le mabedi, gongwe re kgatelela molao go feta tekano, gongwe re a o ikgatolosa. – Mo go rona kotsi e kgolo ke fa re o gatelela go feta tekano.

Polelo ya 19

Go ntse jalo ka ntlha ya motho yo mogologolo yo o  ratang go ngaparela mo melawaneng ka fa tlhagong ya gagwe. Gape ka gonne go ne go gatelelwa melawana mo diphuthegong tsa rona, jaaka re dikolotswe ke badumedi ba ba gatelelang melao thata ka go kgweetsa bakeresete gore ba itsheke, bogolo ka ntlha ya gore ba ba sa dumeleng ba ineela mo makgapheng le mo ditimetsong fela mo ntlheng ya go ruta..

Polelo ya 20

 Gongwe ba bantsi jang ba ba boifang mo sephiring gore ba tla abela yo o sa tshwanelang dineo tsa Efangele, bogolo go go boifa go tima yo o tlhokang kgomotso? Ke mang yo sa tlhagelweng ke segakolodi go etsa sekao sa ga Paulo go nna tsotlhe mo go botlhe? Kwa re tlhagelwang ke segakolodi ka ntlha ya moo, tiriso ya molao le Efangele ka fa molaong e sa ntse e le teng.

B. Tiriso ya molao le Efangele ka fa molaong

Polelo ya 21

Tiriso ya molao le Efangele ka fa molaong ga se go rera molao fela, mme ke go dirisa tsotlhe ka fa molaong, go o dirisa tsotlhe ka go gopola gore molao o tshegediwe ka botlalo, le gore o tla kgona go tokofatsa tsotlhe mo phuthegong ka molao, gongwe ka melawana. Mme kgono go tokofatsa mo phuthegong e ka diragala fela ka Efangele.

Polelo ya 22

Tiriso molao le Efangele ka fa molaong e bonala bogolo ka fa go diragalang gantsi teng mo go ba ba tlhoafetseng thata go baakanya tsotlhe gore ba kgweetse bakeresete ka melao, le melawana ntle le lorato lo e leng se segolo mo molaong, fa go nyadiwa botlhale go nna mogakolodi, le fa ba gopola gore ba a ruta, ba tlhagisa, ba kaela fela, mme ba dira ka go pateletsa badumedi gore e nne baitshepi. Ke fa tiriso ya molao le Efangele e le kgakala thata le tiriso ya molao le Efangele ka fa Efangeleng.

Polelo ya 23

Tiriso ya molao le Efangele ka fa molaong ga e diragale mo phutheong le mo kerekeng fela, mo mo magaeng le mo goromente e a diragala, le fa gare ga bakaulengwe.

Tiriso ya molao le Efangele ka fa molaong e diragala gantsi mo ditherong, le mo tirong ya go disa phuthego, le mo tirisong le tsamaisong ya dikgang le dithulaganyo tsa phuthego.

Dikao tse di umakiwang ke rre Henry Schwan ga di ka ke tsa umakiwa fano, mme go molemo go itlhotlhomisa ka metlha ka go botsa gore a ke dirisa molao le Efangele ka fa molaong (in a legalistic way) gongwe ka fa Efangeleng (in an evangelical way). Ke pharologanyo e e tshwanetseng go rutiwa ke Mowa o o Boitshpeo ka nosi ka go tlhokomela gore Mafoko a Dikwalo tsa Testamente e Kgologolo le tsa Ntšha le maipolelo a Kereke ya Lutere a dirisa molao jang, a dirisa Efangele jang?

Gongwe fa ke thusiwa ke mongwe wa bomorwaarona gore ke gopole ka fa Morena a fetotseng tse di neng tsa nkutlwisa botlhoko mo tirong ya me go nna tse

The LCMS Rocky Mountains district under the leadership of President Randal Golter has a long and fruitful partnership with the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Tshwane. This started off as a joint-project with LCMS World Relief and Human Care under the leadership of President Matthew Harrison DD. Together they enabled the Seminary to grow exponentially in the past half decade to accommodate students from Lutheran Churches of more than 10 countries in Africa. This enables these Churches to have their present and future pastors to be educated in a confessional  curriculum on a regular basis (4-6 years) by some of the best teachers from CS St.Louis, CTS Ft.Wayne and also LTH Oberursel i.T.  Since 2011 our Seminary has also been accredited by the University of Pretoria so that we are enabled to grant an official Bachelor of Theology degree taught by our own teachers. This is a direct result of the wonderful support granted by partnership of the LCMS RMD and WR&HC. Read more about this in the report on this work to be tabled at the forthcoming convention of RMD:  Web Report on Mission Southern Africa

The Lutheran Theological Seminary in Tshwane (Pretoria) is an ongoing and long-term project and needs urgent support to continue with its confessional training program. Not only do the students need ongoing care and support, but we also need to expand our facility to accommodate the growing number of students and vitally, put together a permanent team of staff and teachers to optimize Lutheran theological study, research and tuition programs for this continent. We are hopeful that we can do this sustainably for the next decades and therefore we need your dedicated support.
