From Bailing Water

Progress
I have just learned that Paul Janke, DP of the AZ/CA district, is stepping down. This is a huge step forward for the confessionals in the WELS. Janke spent most of his time using his position to oust men that didn't fit his WELS model. He would either get them to resign (change the reason to cause - so they can't get back in) or suspend them.
Hopefully, the Lord will raise up a person who can gain control of Apostle's and Crosswalk and the district.

GJ - I have learned via carrier pigeon that Bailing Water has been busy, not silenced or neutered.
Apostle's - Is that the congregation where Valleskey was the Church Growth pastor, where he bragged about attending Fuller in the bulletin?
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.
