Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "Agenda for 2010 - Men of His Word":
I propose that it is not Lutheran to demand quantitative results to the all sufficient work and efficacy of the Word purely taught with Scriptural and Confessional faithfulness.
Likewise it is indicative of the Lutheran apostasy to demand and detail exactly that - (W)ELS Prayer Institute demands of it's partner churches to have at least one person praying at least 30 minutes per day. Goals that include: Increasing Bible study attendance from 9% to 20% over the next three years. My favorite is the (W)ELS church that went into millions of dollars in debt to build a completely new church facility with the specific expectation that it would create a 14% increase in church membership.
