Fundies In Their Undies

About 30 years ago, I needed to buy basic church supplies in a small town, so I went to the nearest Bible book and gift store. They always had prominently displayed such recent Evangelical best-sellers as Fascinating Woman (if that was the title). One book caught on, perhaps by that name.

We called the genre - Fundies In Their Undies.

They bowdlerized such current classics as Everything You Wanted To Know about Sex But Were Afraid To Ask, which would have been deemed NSFW - Not Safe For WELS.

Fireproof is simply a new version of the old genre, and another neat way to get the congregation into Babtist theology.

Am I missing something? How does this book grow my faith? Does fireproofing my marriage prepare me for the next life?

GJ - The Book of Concord will fireproof your soul for the next life.

"The Book of Concord will fireproof your soul for the next life."

You do mean Scripture, of course. It's nice to see you placing man's writing over God's.

GJ - I wrote it that way to elicit another dollop of sanctimony. Nothing in my statement put the Book of Concord above the Scriptures. Anyone who appreciates the Confessions can grasp that. The Pietists jump at every opportunity to scorn anything that might get in the way of their ecumenical Enthusiasm.

I saw that awful "Fireproof" movie in an LCMS church I later left. "Fireproof" shows the concept of female headship in the home that is a cornerstone of American Evangelicalism. A Christian husband's sole duty is to follow all the orders and instructions of his wife at all times. If he violates this precept he is a manifest and impenetent sinner headed to hell.
