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.

Never-Ending "Leadership" Conferences - From False Teachers Who Spend Synod Money Attending Them,
Then Collect Money for Giving Them
rlschultz has left a new comment on your post "Don't Fail To Miss This Wisconsin Lutheran College...":
When I read about yet another leadership conference, I thought of the "The Song That Never Ends":
(with apologies to the late Shari Lewis and Lamb Chops. Credit for the lyrics from Wikipedia)
This is the song that doesn't ends,
Yes it goes on and on like friends,
Some people started singing it not knowing what it was
And they'll continue singing it forever just because,
This is the song that doesn't ends,
Yes it goes on and on like friends,
Some people started singing it not knowing what it was
And they'll continue singing it forever just because, Etc...

GJ - All the false teachers sell their wisdom for huge fees. Robert Schuller did. Hybels, Warren, Driscoll, Stanley, Beeson, Stetzer, and Sweet still do. Ask Ski and Glende - who went to all of them, like their Zombie King, Mark and Avoid Jeske.
The Church Shrinkage leaders in Missouri and WELS have gone to all of those gas-bags, and even pay them to sell their garbage at Lutheran schools and churches.
And then - get this - they host their own expensive conferences to repeat the same old bromides.
WELS makes me laugh, because they try to hide all this - on the Net! That is not a good place to hide information.
Martin Luther College did that with their last brain-washing effort, disguised as Evangelism Day or Mission Day or Bow Before Baal Day. They hid the leaders from the general public, but it was still there. And. I. Published. The. List.

Re: the upcoming "Hearts and Hands of David Conference" to be held at WLC, on the link for the workshop's website, one of the purposes for the workshop is identified as: "Provide a safe forum for discussing important issues in Lutheran worship". SAFE? Safe from what or whom?
Those pesky laymen with pitchforks, tar and feathers who just may descend on the event? Ichabod? Any dissenters armed with the Word of God?
Seems only fair to any participants being recruited, that conference sponsor's assurance of "safety" should identify from whom or what the participants need protection.
