Popcorn Cathedral of Rock:
Training Everywhere Except WELS



DP Englebrecht supports Ski but pretends not to like the Church and Chicaneries. Englebrecht's latest evangelism conference, like last year's, was all C and C. Ski spoke at both.



Tim Stevens is one of the ministers at Granger Community Church, and he has his own blog. So does my dog.



"Dr. Luther, who, above others, certainly understood the true and proper meaning of the Augsburg Confession, and who constantly remained steadfast thereto till his end, and defended it, shortly before his death repeated his faith concerning this article with great zeal in his last Confession, where he writes thus: 'I rate as one concoction, namely, as Sacramentarians and fanatics, which they also are, all who will not believe that the Lord's bread in the Supper is His true natural body, which the godless or Judas received with the mouth, as well as did St. Peter and all [other] saints; he who will not believe this (I say) should let me alone, and hope for no fellowship with me; this is not going to be altered [thus my opinion stands, which I am not going to change]."

The CORE is not WELS. They just say they are. I don't know why they say they are WELS.

I am supposedly WELS. I cannot be in fellowship with The CORE. I cannot believe WELS is allowing the CORE to operate calling themselves WELS. This has gone way way way too far. I no longer have a place to call my church.
