1 Thessalonians 4:15-18

   For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.     

​​​​​​​2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing

Celebrity Theologian
Bolz-Weber was in the news again recently, after she claimed, in the LGBTQ magazine Out in Jersey, that “there is ethically sourced porn”. Though a pastor in the ELCA, Bolz-Weber’s use of language seems calculated to make her sound as little like a clergyperson as possible. Like many celebrities, Bolz-Weber is vulgar. In the interview mentioned above, she stated that “The Bible’s not clear about s***!” “People are hungry for religion and spirituality that isn’t utter bulls***,” she continued, adding, “You can draw a straight f****** line from what people were told in church and the harm in their lives.”
