Oh Worship the Brew



Missing from the artwork: Lutheran Church
Rev. Randy got himself a vicar when others were denied.
Does the Conference of Pussycats object to this blasphemous logo -
a cross resting in a cup of coffee?



This artist was too frugal.
The coffee machines used at St. Andrew Latte are high-priced,
not Mr. Coffee.
The Northwestern Lutheran FIC recently published a slobbering review of the coffee church, grounds for firing the editor.

"...coffee church, grounds for firing the editor."

Love the pun.

It would be better if the false teachers in WELS had never been born.

Sing it with me:

"Lift high the swizzle-stick,
Our love of us proclaim.
Till all the world, adore,
Church and Change."

Quote from the FIC article, Randy Hunter (CEO of Ministry), "We’re trying to keep it from becoming the thing that turned a lot of people away from church."

What could that be? What thing turned people away from church?

How about, John 7:7, "The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil."

Got it! Remove the Word that keeps people away from church. It's called the offense of the Cross.

Well done WELS! Well done.

WELS leaders claim that they were personally inspired by God to start a Coffee Club. How do they know it wasn’t the Devil? I have no idea.

The coffee pot: more WELS superstition and idolatry.

Isn't church where people come to meet God through Word and sacraments?

If one is serious about God, shouldn't one also be serious about church, which is where one meets Him? The answer is yes.

The only people who treat church and worship casually are those who treat God and His Word casually. This is the only logical conclusion to draw.

WELS in thier new age religion separates Doctrine and Practice. They call it Principle (Doctrine) and Application of Principle (Practice).

WELS
Just saw this being promoted by WELsians on Bailing Water here:

>>>Call it what you will, WELS practices, as I showed from the offical magazine of the WELS, levels of fellowship. Calling a pear an apple doesn't make it so. The WELS is simply hypocritical about this.<<<
Like I said, you're confusing principle with application. Just because there are varying applications based on varying situations, that doesn't mean that there are different principles."

Subject: Women in the church, "In asserting that Pastor Schewe was wrong to allow women to read sections of Scripture antiphonally,
you want to be careful that you don’t turn the application of a principle into the principle itself. The principle that women are not to teach or have authority over a man is inviolate. Some applications of that principle, e.g., women pastors, women teaching men in Bible study, etc., are inviolate. However there is quite a stretch between women teaching (i.e., expounding, explaining, clarifying and elucidating Scripture) and reading Scripture antiphonally and collectively without giving instruction."

With a wide and narrow sense at their disposal with any Scriptural Word under contention, Principle and Application of Principle and Objective vs. Subjective the WELS has a neat bag of tricks to make of God's Word whatever it will.

Romans 10:3, "For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God"

A convenient distinction. It is a means to saying you may disagree with WELS practice but still should support it because of solid doctrine. Presumably unsound practice does not undermine or corrupt doctrine. We know that is not true. Just look at the state of WELS delusion and deception.
