Fools For Christ? - AC V Asks
AC V has left a new comment on your post "Wayne Mueller - No Church Growth Programs in WELS,...":
Mueller said, "Our Lutheran Confessions allow complete freedom among our churches in methodology that does not conflict with the gospel." Here's a simple example of how wrong Mueller is:
Because Scripture says: "For the foolishness of God is wiser than men,..." (1 Cor. 1:25)
Therefore: Clown service!
Tada! "Complete freedom" "No conflict with the gospel (because it's from the Bible)!" An "ad fontes" application of Scripture to practice.
Do you really think the Lutheran Confessions had that in mind?
