(W)ELS' leading edge of New Age Church Growth apostasy is growing. As covered before on Ichabod the new church mission startup in Castle Rock, Colorado called Eternal Rock now has their official website up.
Sermon, Follow Jesus - Worship, is designed to break down preferences to the historic Lutheran liturgy and establish liturgy and worship as adiaphora. In doing so Pastor Oldenburg attacks the efficacy of God's Word with the New Age Church Growth terms of "heart language" using man's reason. After stating that the historic liturgy is filled with Scripture he states:
audible of these quotes start at -13:00 "The depth of the liturgy and the symbols and the meaning and the richness can take years to understand, so deep and so rich and to comprehend it takes a long time. In worship, if it is so rich, why would we think about doing anything else? I don't think everyone grasps the depths and the meaning and the symbols. The historic liturgy is the heart language of some, but isn't the heart language, the language that communicates best for everyone."
"The liturgy does have depth in history and tradition that some really appreciate, but like fine coffee or food, many do not."
"If people don't fully appreciate the liturgy does it make sense that you would even give it to them?...I don't think so." http://www.eternalrock.org/media.php?pageID=23
