Mark Jeske, Leave WELS for Missouri? - No Way

 

I need love, love
To ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But mama said

You cant hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love dont come easy
Its a game of give and take

You cant hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You got to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

But how many heartaches
Must I stand before I find a love
To let me live again
Right now the only thing
That keeps me hangin on
When I feel my strength, yeah
Its almost gone
I remember mama said:

You cant hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love dont come easy
Its a game of give and take

How long must I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart
Heart to break?

No I cant bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that i, I cant go on
These precious words keeps me hangin on
I remember mama said:

You cant hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love dont come easy
Its a game of give and take

You cant hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

His dad's nickname was Jumpin' Jack. Maybe Mark's jumpin' now too. To Missouri? Not impossible.
But I am not convinced.

It may be true that Jeske spoke at Concordia, Mequon and at an LCMS convention. However, WELS has made it a practice of having outside speakers come to them at Little Valpo (WLC), the "Worship Made Difficult" convocations, and the like. The DPs have okayed it (as long as they don't worship and pray together, which, of course, some of the outsiders have done). So it should not surprise us that some of the WELS luminaries (face it, there aren't too many) will speak at other "church" gatherings. I feel another "special study" coming on within the COP. Oh no! What shall we do?

GJ - Missouri forgot to mention that Jeske is Wisconsin Synod, but Mark forgets to mention that all the time!

Jeske has denied being Lutheran, much less having any synodical affiliation, on 'his' program. Until now.

The Lutheran synodical affiliation that he now claims is one of which he is not a member. Further, it is an affiliation with a Lutheran synod that is not in fellowship with the synod of which he is a member.

Jeske has not informed his viewers/listeners where they can go in their communities to learn more. They apparently have to return to his show to learn more. Until now.

His show is now being billed by the LCMS as a Recognized Service Organization of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.

How does this, specific denominational/synodical affiliation affect the generic/non-denominational/pan-denominational flavor of his show to this point?

Jeske has had a number of years to officially connect his show to the WELS. He has chosen to refuse to do so.

Hopefully, this chosen, official affiliation with the LCMS is the first step in leaving the synod that he long ago abandoned.
