The CORE continues to burn through $20,000 a month, but they cannot update their sorry excuse for a website.
One event still listed on the calendar is dated December 7th - Koine Rock N Roll.
The ecumenical Living Last Supper was five days ago.
By now people have noticed how lazy and lethargic the Emerging Church people are. They are so spent from all their conferences and planning that they never get any real work done.
Most of their real work is done in secret. I have to admit that. They never cease their attempts to undermine Lutheran doctrine and worship. And they are just as shameless as they are restless. Paul Calvin Kelm cannot get any traction with a copied Bible study called "Fuel," so that qualifies him for a full-time job doing the same at Wisconsin's Little College - WLC.
WELSians who just fell off the beet wagon should pay attention to the Changers at work. The Changers howl about a sprinkle of light discipline and call it "unbrotherly." Their chorus of outrage is always pitiful, even though they are untouched, as Kelm and Stroh have proven.
But the Church Growth Shrinkers are nasty, dishonest, ruthless, and unscrupulous. They never stop driving people out for being Lutheran. They never stop grabbing money for themselves so they do not have to do any real work.
The crypto-Calvinists were just the same, but why bring up a topic WELS never studies? The crypto-Calvinists had the real Lutherans exiled and in prison while they promoted anti-Lutheran doctrine. It was only by accident that the ruler found out about their designs.
Everyone knows what Church and Change is like. Their favorite leaders have been quoted ad infinitum and ad nauseam on this blog.
A more conservative Pietism will not save the Synodical Conference from its Pietism and Enthusiasm. The DPs and board of doctrine types who parade around as the saviors will not make any difference. If the old Synodical Conference cannot get past institution-worship and ancestor worship, they will simply follow ELCA down the drain, a little later, a little poorer.
The era of Pietism, the fetid womb of the Synodical Conference, has to be renounced as another dark age of the Lutheran Church, as as the Age of Rationalism was. Lutherans must study, for the first time, the Book of Concord, and examine current topics in the light of the Confessions.
The Book of Concord has enough in it for people to study the rest of their lives. Most pastors have not even begun, so how will they lead the flock if they have hobbled themselves with ignorance?
