Ski, Katie, and Glende in Seattle - For a Game?



Lampe, Ski, Becker, and Spencer: The Four Horsemen of St. Marcus, with Bishop Katie beaming down on them from above.

Bishop Katie's Tweet:
In Seattle. Forgot how much I LOVE the pacific northwest
about 11 hours ago from Tweetie

The St Peter's bulletin says that Pastor Tim Glende is at a "Pastors Conference: May 19 - May 21."

Because this is graduation and call week, there are likely no WELS Pastors Conference during this time.

Mars Hill pastor Mark Driscoll is headquartered in Seattle. He is a favorite false teacher among the Church and Chicaneries.

Mark Driscoll lies?

That is all I have for the moment. Ski, Katie, and Glende discoverd their Tweets are being circulated with gusto, shock, and disgust, so they are not sharing as much as before. Anyone can check up by calling the congregations involved. Tain't my synod, as the Shrinkers keep reminding me.

Pure guesswork:
The trio has barely unpacked from the awesome Drive 09 Conference with Andy Stanley and five other WELS pastors. Another Schwaermer conference so soon suggests to me that Church and Change is developing an exit strategy for its congregations.

That would make more sense out of the Popcorn Cathedral of Rock. Hints suggest that the primary audience of The CORE consists of local WELS members. They could join PCR (aka The CORE) when the split comes.



Mark Driscoll preaches at more than one WELS congregation, via the highly trained pastor Kelming sermons from Mars Hill.


On this blog Driscoll is called "The Cussing Pastor."

R-rated description of Driscoll content.

Wikipedia entry on Driscoll - pace, Kit.

Driscoll, along with Leif Moi, Mike Gunn, and the Acts 29 network of independent churches, is part of the missional theology community that adheres to classical Calvinist, or Reformed, theology and views their mission as communicating this school of theology to "modern" people (Emerging Reformed).

Of all the underhanded, deceitful behavior. Just trust them, are you nuts?

Should we make it nine Nazgûl chasing the Ring?



Much that once was, is lost.
For none now live that remember it.
It began with the forging of the great rings.

Three were given to the Sausage Factory WELveS, immortal, wisest, and fairest of all beings in their own minds.
Seven to the LittleSect dwarf Lords.
Nine rings were given to the race of Enthusiast-Praise Bands, who above all things desire power.

But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made. Near the land of Mars Hill, in the Popcorn Kettle of Doom, the Evil Foe forged in secret... a master ring to dominate all others. Into this ring he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to deprive the world of the simple, pure Gospel. One Church Growth Ring to Rule Them All.

One by one the confessional churches fell through the deception of the Church Growth Ring. But there were some who resisted.

A last alliance of LC-Men_S and WELveS marched against the armies of Church Growth. In the land of Fuller, on the slopes of Willow Creek, they fought for the freedom of the unrestrained Gospel.


It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Ichabod, Son of the King, took up his Fathers' Sword...



(all in good fun)

“At one suburban campus that I visited, a huge yellow cross dominated center stage — until the projection screen unfurled and Driscoll’s face blocked the cross from view.”

Driscoll’s face blocked the cross from view. In a nutshell: the very reason so many faithful, active, and involved members have departed the hip halls of MHC.

To WELS leaders: what the h-- are you doing? You certainly are not doing your work as called workers, synod employees, or whatever you call yourselves.

Who is caring for the spiritual needs of the members of The CORE while the pastor is gone again?

This "church" is not operating in a churchlike manner and the "pastor" is not serving in a pastoral manner.

This is looking like a playground instead of a congregation and the pastor is playing silly games instead of serving his flock with God's Word.

Have they served Lord's Supper at The CORE yet? They have gathered since February.

PS - The Lord's Supper is REAL, REVELANT and RELATIONAL. Why is it missing at The CORE?

Pastor James Skorzewski - REPENT!

District President Douglas Engelbrecht - REPENT! (for not halting this mockery of God's Word)
