| About Xαρις και Eιρηνη |
| Xαρις και Eιρηνη is a blog written from the perspective of a Lutheran student studying for the pastoral ministry. It's title means Grace and Peace, a common greeting in St. Paul's letters and I think, a two-word summary of what Jesus Christ has won for me. |
| Ephesians 2:4-5 |
| Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. |
| Romans 5:1-3 |
| Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. |
| Colossians 4:5-6 |
| Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. |
| Apology of the Augsburg Confession, Art.XV, 21 |
| The Fathers had these reasons for maintaining the rites, and for these reasons we also judge it to be right that traditions [good customs] be maintained. And we [Lutherans] are greatly surprised that our adversaries, contrary to the entire Scriptures of the Apostles, contrary to the Old and New Testaments contend for another design of traditions, namely, that they may merit the remission of sins, grace, or justification. |

| Want Your Hotmail E-mails? |
The best thing about the internet is all the free stuff. Today I spent a little "free time" getting to know Mozilla Thunderbird, which is the mail client distributed by the same people that brought us Mozilla Firefox internet browser. I've had it in my head for a while now that it would be really nice to have my e-mails in personal possession. I don't know why... I guess I just came to the conclusion that their mine, so I should have them. The problem was that my primary e-mail host is Windows Live Hotmail, and in keeping with Microsoft philosophy - if you want it, they will charge you for it. But gratias a Mozilla, it turns out you can have Thunderbird access your mailbox and pull out all the e-mails for you, and continue to do so. Because at school I have a perpetual connection, all I have to do is open Thunderbird to get my e-mails-- You know, old-school style. No loading Hotmail. No ads. None of that. If you already own a Hotmail account, this is the way to go. If you don't have any online e-mail, sign up for Google, because you can do the same thing but it's infinitely more easy.
Hotmail users look here. |
