ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.

Every So Often,
They Take a Break from Schwaermer Conferences To Do Church

KJV Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Recent Schwaermer Conferences, Known Attendees:
Facebook Drive Conference

GJ - Someone opined that they were Tweeting false information so they could denounce the lies on Ichabod. I have had that attempted three different times. One was a report of a pastor's adultery and leaving the ministry (utterly false). Another was an ex-pastor from WELS being welcomed back (also false). A third example was more recent.
As of this date, I have no precise information on the conference, but there is this from Tim Glende's congregation:
PASTOR CONFERENCE
Pastor Tim will be gone from Tuesday – Thursday, May 19-22nd . If an emergency arises,
please contact Pastor Christenson @ 733-7225 or his new cell# 419-4195.

5/15/2009 Church Bulletin from 5/17/09
When Glende went to the Drive 09 Babtist Worship Conference with Ski, Buske, Katy, and four other WELS pastors, the trip was announced in his St. Peter bulletin the same way - implying a WELS conference but not identifying the actual name or place of the Atlanta conference. So I have to assume it is a Schwaermer conference or a Church and Change gathering to plan their split.

This reminds me a little bit of what Luther said about what you get with a pilgrimage to Rome; a bad conscience, a ruined stomach and an empty purse. It is worse today. These pilgrims' consciences cannot be pricked. Their purses will not be emptied as they probably are not spending much of their own money.
Mark Driscoll: The Cussing Pastor, Church and Change Fave
One Fad to rule them all, One Fad to find them,
One Fad to neuter all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mars Hill where the popcorn pops.

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...

Ski caption: "Way cool."
Ski, Katie, and Glende in Seattle - For a Game?
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.
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).

Holy Word in Austin--
Kudu Don Patterson--Got Their Vicar.
Is This One Free?
I hope you are as bad a shot as Kudu Don."
VP Don Patterson has a vicar assigned. Here is the link.
Paul A. Bowe from Menominee Falls was the #4 draft pick.
Un-CGM congregations never get one, in spite of requesting one, year after year.
Everyone wants to know - Is this vicar free too?
