Watch Stetzer in the privacy of your home.
Actual quote: "Coming to the SBC every year makes me feel young and thin."
Let's go over the dates again:
- Stetzer twittered his date with WELS Church and Change July, 2008.
- Stetzer blogged about Lutherans, putting them down, August, 2008, bragging about his dates with Missouri and WELS. Do they kiss on the first date?
- Stetzer put the Church and Change date on his calendar - November, 2009.
- The WELS COP discussed this Church and Change invite.
- I blogged about this, and Church and Change began denying and lying. Such brave leaders!
- On their website, Church and Change did not even admit to having a conference in 2009, certainly not one with Stetzer speaking. Such honesty! Such candor!
- Now Church and Change admits to a conference, but not to the Stetzer invite! Transparency? Thy name is not Church and Change.
Conference 09
Nov 5th - 7th
Wyndham Milwaukee Airport Hotel and Convention Center
C&C events are a great place to network with people who have similar ministries, situations and problems. Come, learn and benefit from everyone's experience!
More information is coming soon!
Ah, but there is a pre-history to all this.
VP Don Patterson took a group to the Exponential Conference, where Ed Stetzer was one of the featured speakers.
Ski went went another group of WELS leaders to Drive 08, to hear Babtist Andy Stanley.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When using Babtists to deceive.

This was painful to watch. I will comment later when I recover.
In the meantime, please, if Church and Change leaders are reading this, please tell us why you want to listen to this man speak, why you want to pay him to speak, and why a WELS or ELS or anyone else IN FELLOWSHIP cannot offer a keynote speech 100 percent in line with WELS doctrine. Why are you looking outside WELS fellowship? The WORD of GOD is ALWAYS effective. Mr Stetzer really missed the boat on that one. This is not the doctrine I have been taught. I have been taught that pastors and their congregations need to preach and teach faithfully God's Word and to faithfully administer the Sacraments. Mr Stetzer does not believe that the Sacraments are a Means of Grace. The Great Commission says go, teach, baptize. The Holy Spirit takes it from there. So, please, Church and Change, look to the Holy Spirit, not Ed Stetzer.
PS - Numbers don't mean anything, so please stop counting. Point your congregations to the Cross and the Cross alone, Sunday after Sunday after Sunday. Your members will tell others the good news...no gimmicks, no teasers, no shame for the word Lutheran.
Thank-you for listening.
