It must have been a Monday morning decision. WELS' magazine, which used to have Lutheran in its title, published a good article by Paul Prange, President of MLS.
Converted by the Word
I can imagine Gurgel's reaction:
"What do you mean, publishing something worthwhile? We never do that. Our Church Growth people will be converted back to Luther's doctrine if you keep this up. We may lose Paul Kelm and Floyd Stolzenburg!"
"I am sorry, sir. It won't happen again."
Secretary: "President Gurgel. Lawrence Otto Olson, D. Min., Fuller Seminary, is on the phone. And is he mad!"
Gurgel: "See what you've done."
ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.
