Harrison Rap Video

Team Harrison has been running circles around Kieschnick, who began his first campaign by sizing up Herman Otten. The old way of divide and conquer worked for a time.

Harrison has regular posts on Facebook. I imagine Twitter supplements that, too.

This video makes little sense to me, but it is popular and spreading via Facebook and blogs. Kieschnick is a disaster, so anything to move him into retirement is good.

Syn Conference Professors Unfit To Teach

Starting with Enthusiasm makes the downhill slide easy and quick.
Here a Mequon professor demonstrates.

Lutheran pastors and leaders must begin with the efficacy of the Word, or, from another perspective, the work of Holy Spirit through the Word. If that is not foundational, everything else will be an error.

There are two reasons why Lutherans have fallen into Church Shrinkage, Receptionism, Pietism, and the road to Rome. All are aspects of Enthusiasm.

One is they have never learned the efficacy of the Word, how the Holy Spirit is never without the Word, the Word never without the Holy Spirit.

The second reason is their habit of getting into bed with the false teachers while excusing it.

Lutherans lost their nerve many decades ago, perhaps because they were led (in all synods) by a host of historical-critical apostates. WELS had them. Missouri fostered them. The LCA/ALC bred them. That may be why they forgot about teaching the divine efficacy of the Word.

Ecumenical gatherings made the paraments look greener on the other side. Baptists sang more joyfully. Romanists did pageantry to perfection. Pentecostals demonstrated how much could be accomplished with a cardboard building and fanatical adherents.

What the Lutheran Enthusiasts lack in doctrinal discernment they make up in sanctimony. Anyone who offends their Enthusiasm is ordered, anonymously, to repent. Telling the truth about them is not allowed.

Let's See Some Denouncing by the WELSian Shrinkers

They love the seminary president who made it all possible - Valleskey.

Their love of Valleskey’s belief system demonstrates their inability to discern good from not so good.

GJ - Some people are secretly concerned about doctrine, anonymously befuddled about unionism. They have a convenient target who has published his false doctrine in WLQ and the former Northwestern Lutheran.

As a WELS pastor, he attended Fuller Seminary, denying it and also admitting it, depending on the audience - but furious that he was exposed as clumsy liar. His sect saw his slobbering over Church Growth books in the Quarterly and synod magazine, so they elevated him to Sausage Factory president.

When will the secretive bloggers denounce this infamy. They parade their righteous indignation about anything outside of their sect.

No wait. I get it. If a WELS professor does it, the action is conservative, confessional, worthy of imitation, commendable, admirable, amazing, stunning, beyond all expectations, above and beyond the call of duty.

As soon as the troubled blogger gets back from his AA meeting, he will probably tell us as much.

Door Wide Open

A good WELS leader will constantly warn people away from Lenski while excusing the use of materials, verbatim, from false teachers.

They are not being hypocritical but consistent. Lenski annoys them by teaching Lutheran doctrine and revealing the shortcomings of the Enthusiasts. The UOJ of WELS is pure Enthusiasm, supporting a wide variety of false perspectives: Roman Catholic, Babtist-Pentecostal, New Age, Universalist.

Luther observed that the Roman Empire welcomed every god except the One True God - Christ.

WELS honors every religious perspective except one - Luther's. They love the seminary president who made it all possible - Valleskey.
