Sing This Hymn at the Next Church and Change Conference for WELS

Bruce Becker is the Administrator of WELS Parish Services (Wayne Mueller's old job) but he failed to inform the Synod President that DPS was calling Paul Kelm back to The Love Shack. Rev. Bruce is also a board member of Church and Change, where Wayne Mueller's son is a bigwig.

Paul Kelm, Larry Olson, and James Huebner were trained at Fuller Seminary to be Parish Consultants. That is Kelm's new call, to spread the false doctrine of Fooler Sem and Willow Crick Community Church. No decision so far.

New Age Methodist Leonard Sweet was head of the seminary that trained Rev. Jeremiah Wright ("God _____ America!"), so Church and Change made him their keynote speaker. The fierce rabbits of the WELS ministerium finally stomped on their paws and said, "No!" blocking the conference. Church and Change pouted, regrouped, and launched their next conference from the WELS.net website. Doubtless they were helped by having the head of WELS technology as a Willow Crick addict, who once channeled Hybels in every sermon - verbatim.

Church and Change was founded to overturn Lutheran doctrine. They imagine they own the Wisconsin sect now. No one elected them at convention. As evidenced by Kelm's stealth call, they do not think they need to be courteous or orderly.

"Lord Jesus Christ, With Us Abide"
by Nikolaus Selnecker, 1532-1592
Selnecker was an editor of the Formula of Concord, 1580. He was bitterly attacked and severely persecuted by the Reformed, deposed when Augustus died, reduced to poverty, and not allowed to remain in Leipzig as a private citizen. [GJ – Imagine that!]
Theodore E. Schmauk and C. Theodore Benze, The Confessional Principle and the Confessions, as Embodying the Evangelical Confession of the Christian Church, Philadelphia: General Council Publication Board, 1911, p. 310ff.

1. Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide,
For round us falls the eventide;
Nor let Thy Word, that heavenly light,
For us be ever veiled in night.

2. In these last days of sore distress
Grant us, dear Lord, true steadfastness
That pure we keep, till life is spent,
Thy holy Word and Sacrament.

3. Lord Jesus, help, Thy Church uphold,
For we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold.
Oh, prosper well Thy Word of grace
And spread its truth in every place!

4. Oh, keep us in Thy Word, we pray;
The guile and rage of Satan stay!
Oh, may Thy mercy never cease!
Give concord, patience, courage, peace.

5. O God, how sin's dread works abound!
Throughout the earth no rest is found,
And falsehood's spirit wide has spread,
And error boldly rears its head.

6. The haughty spirits, Lord, restrain
Who o'er Thy Church with might would reign
And always set forth something new,
Devised to change Thy doctrine true.

7. And since the cause and glory, Lord,
Are Thine, not ours, to us afford
Thy help and strength and constancy.
With all our heart we trust in Thee.

8. A trusty weapon is Thy Word,
Thy Church's buckler, shield and sword.
Oh, let us in its power confide
That we may seek no other guide!

9. Oh, grant that in Thy holy Word
We here may live and die, dear Lord;
And when our journey endeth here,
Receive us into glory there.

Pres. Schroeder didn't know Kelm was called to "the Love Shack"? This is just one example of how you spread lies. Did Pres. Schroeder tell you this, or did you just pick it up on Bailing Water? Ever hear of the 8th Commandment?

I personally emailed Schroeder concerning Kelm's call. Schroeder (sic) response was identical to Reverend Jackson's explanation of events.

[GJ - One typo in only one line, definitely a WELS writer.]

GJ - I have gone all day without being accused of violating the 8th Commandment. Of course, a false accusation like the one above is slander, anonymous slander at that. I verified the information, just as John at Bailing Water did (independent of me). John added that the call was intended to be "a kick in the groin for SP Schroeder."

Ichabodians can thank the apostates for being so quick to accuse me. I make sure I have the information exactly right. NorthWest says, "Any time I could verify the information, Greg, you were always correct."

Since Rev. Mouse is so keen to bring up how this happened, perhaps he could provide the memo, email, or other details about exactly when Church and Church board member Bruce Becker informed the Synod President about the call to Kelm. I eagerly await the results. Bruce Becker, Church and Change, and all The Love Shack denizens should admit to the Wisconsin Synod that they put out the news of the call so that the Synod President would learn about it the way everyone else did - from reading the call list. The time has come for the Augean Stables to be cleansed.
