Another Part of Broadcasting the Gospel

By Norma Boeckler,
who is completing her own book of art.


The original meaning of broadcasting was to scatter seed in all directions. That is the point of the Parable of the Sower and the Seed in Matthew 13, Mark 4.

The pathetic Fullerites think the point of the parable is to "judge the soil" and begin their non-missions where they can scoop up members from other churches. Tim Glende's The CORE (not a church, just an evening service) is one such mockery, started almost next door to another WELS congregation. Fox Valley really needed one more WELS congregation! No wonder God removed his favor from the official football team of the Wisconsin Sect - the Fox Valley Packers.

The point of the Sower parable is to broadcast without anxiety about the results, proving that not one Lutheran leader comprehends its simple lesson.

All the Martin Chemnitz Press books are made available free for downloading. Many print copies are also given away. I just saw that Thy Strong Word has been downloaded from Lulu.com 24 times. The original printing was shunned completely. No Lutheran source would mention it, except for Christian News publishing a negative review (refusing to print a word in favor of it).

The download activity of one book may not seem impressive, but that figure is only one source of the free downloads.

To make free downloads easier in the future, I am going to set up free PDF links from Dropbox. No one needs to own the software to use the links. The public folder allows me to create links to files within it. I will set that up soon and link it on the left column.

Christian News sells Catholic, Lutheran, Protestant and so does Northwestern Publishing House. Professor Tipple's evil CLC cousin used to go Medieval on me every time I published something about WELS, but the Wisconsin Synod has often been quite gracious with me, especially at NPH and Martin Luther College.

The WELS DPs actually mentioned the efficacy of the Word
during their vacation in paradise.
If they cannot teach it, they should resign and find honest jobs.

LutherRocks has left a new comment on your post "Justification Book and Other Plans - God Willing":

"Sad to say, Lutherans have lost their nerve. In fear they imagine that the Roman Catholics or the Fullerites have all the answers. Afraid to compose their own sermons, they steal from others they consider successful, so the same sermon and text and graphics appear on the Net in 10 denominations at once. But somehow these copy-and-paste Lutherans do not wish to post their sermons on their own websites, because it is too easy to send them through a plagiarism checker and find out their source."

Maybe so in certain cases...but I am coming to the realization that much of this (by the reactions of synod leaders) is of another spirit and agenda. As you have said in the past, 'one must erase synod lines' and search out individual truthful churches and pastors'. I believe the beast has infiltrated the visible body with his minions...
