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.

Luther Rocks Again
Joe Krohn is back blogging. Above is the priceless video he is linking again for our amusement and edification.
I love the condescending tone of the narrator and the utterly ridiculous example offered for our benefit. It reminds me of the entire Church Growth enterprise, fraudulent from the beginning, shameful for Lutherans to emulate.
The Church Growth Movement moved into Emergent Church status, reminding us that "the devil in departing is accustomed to leave a foul stink" (Chemnitz, Examination, IV, p. 147).
Church Growth/Emergent Church - both aromas are a shame for all Christians, because they violate the basic principle of the Scriptures, that we should not adulterate the Word and use shameful practices to attract people.
