SUMMARY:For Life Live – Disposable: When Dating is Not Loving Your Neighbor
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, June 15 – 7:00 p.m. CDT / 8:00 p.m. EDT \nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwkf-qqqzMjH9LFayImCOv-b5CLEWWkcCZP \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nEverything in our society is now viewed as disposable and not just things we buy but relationships and undesirables too\, including the unborn. The great commandments to love God and our neighbor\, which are greatly ignored\, stand opposed to the disposing of people and relationships\, while offering us a better way of living. \nThese commandments should prompt us to completely rethink the subject of dating and relationships. In particular\, since the dominant dating culture is based on selfishness\, it needs to be replaced by a culture in which friendship and love of neighbor are paramount. In doing this\, we will come to realize that almost everything we’ve heard about dating and relationships is wrong. It’s really not about techniques and methodologies that promise us that special someone. \nTopics to be discussed:  \n\ncharacteristics of the dominant dating culture\nhow Christian teaching and practice differ from that culture\nthe history that led us to this point\na better approach to relationships\, in view of the great commandments\nthe need for sexual morality and purity\nconstructing a godly counterculture\n\nAbout the presenter/author: \nDaniel E. Johnson studied math and physics at the University of Virginia and earned a PhD in physics from the University of Illinois. (You can call him “Doctor” after he performs his first operation; until then\, it’s “Dan.”) After that he served as an officer in the US Air Force and worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Würzburg in Germany. He currently works in the legal field in Silicon Valley (California)\, where he is the happy husband of one wife and the proud father of their son. \nHe is a scientist by profession and a philosopher at heart\, a Christian who believes in an ordered universe. For him\, faith and reason are complementary\, not contradictory. He believes they allow us to think about things from different perspectives\, to explore the world of ideas\, and to arrive at deeper understanding\, thereby impacting the culture. \nOne topic at the intersection of faith\, reason\, and culture that has always fascinated him is how men and women treat each other. The subject of his first book (“Disposable: When Dating Is Not Loving Your Neighbor”) is something he has been thinking about almost his entire life\, although most of its content grew out of his thoughts and experiences as a young adult\, prior to getting married. He has been able to test those ideas over time\, arriving at a presentation that he hopes is insightful\, helpful to the reader\, and true to Christian values. \nA complimentary e-book (“Disposable: When Dating Is Not Loving Your Neighbor”) will be available to all attendees.

SUMMARY:For Life Live – Critical Race Theory and the Sanctity of Life

Public schools and higher education\, the broader American business world and marketplace\, as well as progressive politics are all inundated by it. However\, it’s also impacting the life of congregations and their members. As Christians\, we want to know how to fight against the sin of racism\, love our neighbor\, uphold biblical justice and the sanctity of all human life\, all while not letting a dangerous ideology sabotage our trust in Jesus Christ and His Word of truth. \nThis presentation will address: \n\nThe ideological foundations of Critical Race Theory\nThe ironic racism in the theory (how it does not value the sanctify of all life)\nHow it functions as a new religion\nHow Lutherans have a clear alternative: A robust theology of faith and love that upholds the sanctify of all life and leads us forward into action\n\nLucas V.

SUMMARY:Pastor Salemink | An Evening with The Babylon Bee | “728 Days to Flatten the Curve”
DESCRIPTION:Kongsvinger Lutheran Church\, rural Oslo\, Minnesota\, is partnering with the Christian satire site\, The Babylon Bee\, for a March 11\, 2022\, charity event. Beneficiaries will include the Grand Forks (ND) Women’s Pregnancy Center and Lutherans for Life—a national pro-life advocacy group. Kyle Mann\, Chief Editor\, The Babylon Bee will be providing insight into the workings of the Babylon Bee via a livestream presentation and dialogue from his location in California. \nExcept for 2021 (COVID-19)\, Kongsvinger has sponsored an annual charity event for over 20 years. The last occurred on March 13\, 2020—the weekend that marked the beginning of business and social closures for “15 days to flatten the curve.” Ok\, so the virus didn’t get the memo. The March 11-13 weekend thus marks the second anniversary of pandemic closures. \nSince 2016\, hundreds of Babylon Bee satire pieces have provided a daily laugh to millions—often by forcing readers to laugh at themselves. Using comic elements to expose the realities of society\, the satirical pieces use irony\, humor\, and exaggeration to show the follies and misdoings of elements in society. Among other elements\, unser Cobra Casino Test takes a similarly lighthearted yet insightful approach to demystify the online gaming world\, combining humor and in-depth reviews. The Babylon Bee also takes on the topics your parents told you to avoid in polite company: religion and politics. Political correctness will be taking a break for the evening. \nThe Kongsvinger Church is the host site for the event where a banquet meal will be served at 6:00 pm. Seating is limited. Registration before March 8 at the Kongsvinger registration website is required. \nPublic access to the livestream discussion is through the Kongsvinger Lutheran YouTube Channel beginning at 6:30 pm (CST) with The Babylon Bee interview at 7:00 p.m. No registration is required. \nThe Babylon Bee is known for the catchy titles of articles such as: “Trudeau Orders All Geese Rounded Up and Shot for Honking in Solidarity with Truckers” or “Biden Promises to Replace Retiring Quarterback Tom Brady with a Woman of Color.” Participants who wish to contribute a title for a potential Babylon Bee article may do so by submitting their original title through the instructions found at the Kongsvinger Registration Website before March 9. Contributed titles considered to be most closely identifiable with Babylon Bee standards will receive the honor of being read by Kyle Mann during the livestream interview. \nThere is no registration fee for attendance at either the Kongsvinger church or via the livestream. Free-will contributions to the beneficiaries may be made through either venue. \nKongsvinger Lutheran is a Confessional Lutheran church located 14 miles north of East Grand Forks\, MN\, emphasizing Biblical teaching and historic church doctrine. Kongsvinger is a local congregation with a global livestream and internet audience. \nRegistration for the Banquet and information for the livestream presentation can be found at the Kongsvinger registration website: https://www.kongsvingerchurch.org/babylonbee. \nKongsvinger Lutheran Church Contacts: \nPhone: 218-773-8137 \nEmail: kongsvinger@kongsvingerchurch.org \nMailing Address: 15950 470th Ave. NW • Oslo\, MN USA 56744 • 218.773.8137 \nKongsvinger Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Kongsvinger.AALC.USA/ \nThe QR Code to the registration site is:
