infant baptism and baptismal regeneration.
Screaming is a substitute for content.
Look at those neck veins pop.
Bishop Katie's Blog:
On Sunday Ski said or rather shouted (if you were there you know I’m serious) “Churches want to put out their hand to help people out of the mud, but that’s not what our Savior does. Our Savior climbs in the mud with you and pulls you up and helps you out. That’s what we’re about.”
The Buffalo Bills sound better.

Look what I found at The CORE website -

Confessions
We all have sicknesses within us that seem to eat us up inside. These range from anger and bitterness to envy, guilt, and pride. The first step in receiving forgiveness for these sins that lurk deep within is confessing them. Please use the form below to anonymously confess the sickness that is eating at you from within. Also, please feel free to read other people's confessions using the tags on the right side of the page and pray that God may give those individuals the strength to heal from their sicknesses.
Use the form below to make your anonymous confession:

GJ - Posted with the confession form is a graphic almost exactly like the one I downloaded from Craig Groeschel for The Sickness Within. Don't worry - I signed the license agreement.
The sermon theme for this Sunday is: The Sickness Within, Control. That happens to be in the same order as the one I downloaded from Craig Groeschel. When other denominations copy Groeschel, they even use the same number for each sermon. Control is #4, while pride was #3.
The Sickness Within - Control - Watermark Community Church.
"This podcast is a production of Watermark Community Church. Our church was designed for those who had given up on the local church."
Does that sound like Ski? Just a little?
Ichabodians, members of WELS have given vast sums of money to clone a Groeschel/Stanley cell in Appleton, in Fox Valley where they hardly need one more WELS congregation. Or one more Emerging Church. A-town has several of those. Ski went to the Alliance one several times, as he Tweeted.
Naturally, the money was given directly to this badly needed mission in Fox Valley, to finance:
- A huge movie theatre with a myriad of sub-woofers.
- Two full-time staffers who do minimal work.
- Five conferences Ski has attended, not to mention three at least attended by Katie.
Church and Change has been doing this for a long time, diverting funds for their own pet projects, or draining the synod coffers directly. Ask them how they do this. They are the dominant element at The Love Shack, The Sausage Factory, and Martin Luther College. The provide seminars for their disciples at their conferences.
So, when more pastors are canned permanently due to lack of funds, count up the money Church and Change has diverted to their Wild Hair Missions Department.

Vatican laments drop in confessions
VATICAN CITY (AP) - A Vatican official is lamenting that many faithful no longer confess their sins, and says some confuse a psychologist's couch for a confessional booth.
***
GJ - Ski, Groeschel and the Antichrist are singing from the same page of the hymnal on this one. I think anonymous Internet confessions are the way to go, especially since Ski can check on the IP addresses, find out who wrote them, and shake them down for bigger offerings. Hey, it worked with Schwan.
PS - Why am I posting Ski's borrowed sermon themes faster than they Tweet them at The CORE? Can't two full-time staffers find time to send out the name of the latest borrowed sermon?

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Ice Cream, Ice Cream, Ice Cream":
Don't worry about Ski baptizing babies, Craig. He doesn't use the sacraments at all.
All his new members already were baptized in other WELS churches, where he is drawing them from (how strange for a "mission" congregation). And as for the Lord's Supper, he's just as ashamed of that as he is of his Lutheranism.
So don't worry. He's just like you.
