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.

Not So Serious Question
Der Schwarz Schaf has left a new comment on your post "How "Lutheran" is CrossWalk?Check Their Website":
Rev. Jackson,
I am relatively new to Ichabod, and I don't understand something. I was born and raised in the Missouri Synod. Recently, I have attended some so-called Wisconsin Synod churches. I understand you were once in both church bodies for a time. I have noted that Wis. Pastors are not very good speakers and don't seem to know much about theology, but are very up on the latest movies and TV shows, football games, and hunting seasons. This would seem to me to be the cause of places like Crosswalk being allowed. But why are Wis. Pastors so dumb? Can you explain.

GJ - I think the Fox Valley circuit was up too late with their favorite seven-course meal - six-packs and giant bags of Fritos.
The graphic above illustrates how Schuller's Church Growth Movement took over WELS. Six men from the same Sausage Factory class worked together to protect each other and advance their cause of apostasy. They became Mequon professors (Mueller, Lawrenz), church executives (Mueller, Lawrenz, Hagedorn, Rutschow), Church and Change leaders (Huebner and everyone else).
I know four of them fairly well. Their mission was to dumb down the Lutheran Church, and they succeeded. They promoted the worst and quashed the best. All the WELS DPs today and all the Love Shack drones are one in faith with them.

Something to consider:
Church and Change - WELS leaders and key laity
Change or Die - Mark Jeske and ELCA
Time of Grace - (W)ELS and LCMS joint unionistic ministry effort
Thrivent supporting ELCA called worker abortions and advancing the global United Religions Initiative - (W)ELS, LCMS and ELCA financed
Pastor Ski and The Core - (W)ELS, anti-Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist, Emergent and New Age according to doctrine and practice
Tim Glende - (W)ELS, Papist according to his approach to Pastoral Ministry, Baptist, Methodist, Emergent, Plagairist and New Age according to doctrine and practice.
Jeff Gunn - (W)ELS but not (W)ELS, teaching (W)ELS children, Baptist, Methodist, Emergent. Verbally opposed by (W)ELS DP but still teaching (W)ELS children.
Leonard Sweet - Not (W)ELS, Methodist New Age Satanist who has been called on to instruct WELS clergy and laity.
All of the above are accepted and condoned by (W)ELS Synod administration and everyone in fellowship with (W)ELS. None have been removed from their positions within the church body.
Joe and Lisa Krohn - Christians faithful to Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions. Defended Justification by Faith alone
Joe and Lisa Krohn were excommunicated from Holy Word, Austin Texas (W)ELS for holding to Justification by Faith Alone and opposing the false gospel of UOJ which is not taught in Scripture or the Lutheran Confessions.
Kokomo families - Excommunicated from WELS because they defended Justification by Faith Alone and opposed the false gospel of UOJ as taught by (W)ELS, LCMS, ELCA, New Age religions, 7th Day Adventists.
