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.

WELS Hydra
rlschultz has left a new comment on your post "Proof That Doing the Same Thing Over, and Expectin...":
The CG methods in the WELS have morphed into the mythical hydra. If you cut off one head, two grow in its place. The lack of pastoral care to long time members is good evidence that the congregation has gone to the dark side.
Mr Meyer, you are correct that the laity eat this rat poison as quick as they can. This outreach thing is another head of the hydra. If you oppose it, then you do not care about saving souls. As mentioned in a previous post, it is now called community outreach. What it amounts to is having some sort of how-to series that has to do with life enhancement. Any civic organization could be doing that, and probably do a better job at it. But, the theory is that the community is unaware of the congregation, even though many may drive by it every day. They are so afraid of proclaiming the Gospel, that they have resorted to more gimmickry.
