From the Gurus of Growth:
Over 240 in attendance
and this is what they had to say...
"Thank you for the tools. Continuing the 'idea sharing' on your website is such a good idea. It will keep the conference fresh and help people do research for their programs."
"The enthusiasm for wanting to bring the changeless gospel to the changing world is very encouraging."
"Its exciting, just exciting. I have had some negative feelings towards the WELS before, but after this conference my zeal is renewed. It was so encouraging to see all the passion and leadership to share the Gospel from not only pastors but lay people too!"
"It was said so well, so many times here, all we need to do is embrace and love. KISS: 'Keep It Simple Stupid.' Serve each other in love just as Christ did for us."

GJ - I do not want to be picky, but I believe the real message was -
Keep it stupid, simple!
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.
