Maybe I should stop reading Walther... he gets my faith so
stirred up. And my comments based on
him seem to stir up other Lutherans... one way or the other. Good!
I recall early on when God had re-kindled my faith that I threw
Luther's Small Catechism back on the bookshelf because it seemed that
Luther had caused so much strife among me and my acquaintances. Ah well, that is the way of this world.
Now I am no longer throwing Luther, Walther, and Pieper back
on the bookshelf, but rather throwing the world off instead of them. To all those Lutherans who criticize me, you
will know where to find me... this "errant man riding his own hobby horse" will be sitting at the feet of Luther, Walther, and Pieper. To all those Lutherans I say: "You
should join me at their feet". And
I say this especially about Prof. Franz Pieper, the Twentieth
Century Luther, who not only carried the pure Lutheran doctrine through the
last century but also to this very day!
Maybe someone will say "Pieper's been dead since 1931". To that I say:
Franz Pieper Lives!
