Good Sermon, Pastor
Rev. Jim Plocher of Burlington, Iowa, graciously allowed me to share his Pentecost sermon with you. It is an example of a sermon in the Lutheran church (as opposed to a homily--notice the focus and study on one reading--the Acts reading--for that Sunday. A homily will dwell on the theme of the readings for that Sunday). In addition to being an example of a Lutheran sermon, Rev. Plocher used this opportunity to teach his congregation on what makes a good sermon.

Luther and Baptism
A piece someone sent me, dated from 1523, of a baptismal service which Luther translated into German and modified. It does indeed have the exorcism in it. This would have been written six years after the 95 Thesis (31 October 1517). While it seems long for a baptism, remember that baptsims were often done outside the church service proper. Luther speaks not of making a joke of the exorcism, but that those attending the baptism be mindful of the serious nature of sin. Luther also says, in his explanation, that many of the external elements could be left out, but he retained them for the sake of weak consciences. Maybe today it would be better to leave the exorcism OUT for the same reason. Do those who reinstate the exorcism also apply the mud and spittle? One should note the context of Luther when he did something, and often his reason. Sometimes it wasn't a Scriptural reason, but a matter of exercising Christian freedom and avoiding offense.
