Has anyone else noticed that the Church Growth and BMers really hate the true Church? They usually start off by making fun of the traditional congregation in worship. They mock the sermons, despise the members, insult the music, and then offer their demonic solutions. They even have ads that say, "We are not boring." That is like a university proclaiming on its website, "We are not ignorant."
What do apostates (commonly called liberals) do for the Church? Look around.
- People cannot find a traditional Lutheran church within 100 miles of their home.
- The seminaries are half-empty because vocations have declined.
- The denominational budgets are busted.
- Members conspire with synod officials to get rid of good pastors.
- Criminal clergy acts go un-punished. No, they are rewarded.
- Lutherans think the best way to do well is to hide the name Lutheran, hide the liturgical service, hide the confessions, replace the hymns, and substitute a coaching man-made law talk for a Law/Gospel sermon.
