You are so right about the advertising. What does it mean to me when I see Jeff Gunn's pet project "CrossWalk" advertise that they basically aren't your average boring/crappy/dull/stuck-up church. So, under what category, dear Rev. Gunn does my church fall under? You haven't left many flattering categories left for my congregation.

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.
