A WELS pastor worked 35 years and retired with no Social Security. His pension check is $280 a month. That is a disgrace.
Yet the drones at the Beehive, aka The Love Shack, have run through millions and millions of dollars, paid themselves huge salaries, hired their pals to join the throng, and closed schools. Will they retire on so little?
Why not make the pay and retirement fit the work? Those who applied the Word through the Means of Grace should get the most and retire with the most. Those who drink coffee all day, lost track of millions of dollars, wreck Milcraft, promote false doctrine, and close schools - they deserve nothing.
God will reward His faithful servants. As Walther wrote, you were despised on earth, but you will shine like stars in heaven.
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.
