Armed Lutheran Radio

Audio from our first ever live Clinging to God & Guns show. Lloyd and the Padre discuss the recently released (and quickly recalled) annotated Large Catechism. Specifically, the articles related to the Fifth Commandment and self-defense. The release created an uproar in Lutheran social media, with accusations of "woke" language and leftist ideas making their way into the book. Is this just overblown hype? Or is there more to be concerned about?

It's our first Online Hangout of 2023. Lloyd is joined by Reformation Gun Club Members Mike Johnson, Dan Rushing, Justin Hover, Donny Ross, Curtis Heidel, William Swenson, Scott Van Dorsten, and Pastor Drew Newman.

In this our first Clinging to God & Guns episode of 2023, Lloyd and the Padre discuss Pastor Bennett's article in the new book "Duty to Defend: Volume 2," the context of Phillippians 2:6-8, the reason it is poorly applied in the gun debate, and a better example of Jesus for us to follow in defense of our neighbors.

New Music, "By All Your Saints," by the Artist formerly known as METALloyd, copyright 2023.

A Christmas message based on the account of author Henry Williamson of the Christmas Truce on the Ypres salient in 1914. That account, published in the London Daily Express in 1937, reminds us that even during that deadly and bitter conflict, we are all God's children. Pray that we remember that fact in the midst of our modern day divisions.

Lord God, gracious Father, who in the fullness of time sent Your Son to become man, assume our flesh, and become our Brother, we implore You to keep us in true knowledge of our Redeemer, by whose birth we are delivered from sin, death, Satan, and hell, that with all the holy angels we may rejoice at His Nativity and behold Him who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Our newest book "Duty to Defend: Volume 2" addresses Bible verses that are used without context in the gun-rights debate. In response to the book's announcement, Facebook user Jason decided to respond by taking quotes from the early church fathers out of context. Lloyd and the Padre discuss the early church fathers, the context of their writings, and the quotes that Jason provided us from Justin Martyr, St. Irenaeus, and St. Athanasius.

Does the Bible tell us that we must turn the other cheek to the home invader? To lie down and die rather than defend our lives or those of our loved ones? Does it command us to own a gun? Here you will find the most common (and occasionally uncommon) Bible verses that are used in the gun debate. Each one has been carefully reviewed by an ordained Lutheran pastor who then puts the verse in the proper context to help you respond when you see these verses misused in the arguments over the Second Amendment. This second edition includes over new content, with 15 new articles from 11 pastors, including seven who are new to the series. Plus an exhaustive index, more footnotes and definitions, and three new articles by the editor. Order your copy today!

Stir up our hearts, O Lord, to make ready the way of Your only-begotten Son that by His coming we may be given to serve You with cleansed minds; through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
