Combine Calvinism with Lutheranism and what do you get? Calvinism!

GJ -
I heard Maxwell speak--live!--at a business meeting. As LI observed, these motivational speakers have a certain number of things to say, and they all repeat the same maxims. They are such golden drops of wisdom as, "Leaders have to lead!" and "Set your goals. If you have no goals, you have no future!"
At the business meeting, people were writing these things down. I was groaning audibly. My friends probably thought I was having revelations direct from the Master Hisself, but I was in pain.
Thrivent's only goal is to make more money, which is perfectly fine. But when churches create an agenda to be as Thrivent-friendly as possible, they are no longer Christian. They are just using their congregations and titles to make more money for themselves.
The Church and Change network is the most obvious skimming operation I have ever seen. They have all their little businesses within their group, which they started with offering funds.
Team Geiger sells their coaching business within WELS, recommended by other Church and Changers.
Cornerstone, a joint WELS-LCMS business, charges enormous amounts of money to "hep you with stewardship." (Hep is Texan for help.) Mostly they hep themselves. Cornerstone is Church and Change. Patterson is Church and Change. If you question Cornerstone's fees and approaches, Patterson extends the Left Foot of Fellowship.

I have yet to figure just what the appeal is about motivational speakers. Today at work, one of the mechanical engineers explained to me the principle behind the planetary gear drive system. If any one of these hot air hucksters would have invented something like that, they might actually have some bragging rights.
