The Lutheran Hymnal, #518.
If Thou But Suffer God To Guide Thee
Luther said it is good when men disappoint and betray us, because that teaches us to trust in God's Word alone.
The PR specialists who have been teaching people to worship Holy Mother Sect have only succeeded in driving members away while lining their own pockets. They have no qualms about scattering and slaughtering the sheep.
Nevertheless, it is good when nominal Lutherans shock us with their greed, malice, and apostasy. We are easily lulled into somnolence, so these shocks awake us to Luther, the Confessions, and faithful translations of the Scriptures.
