JESUS IS WORTHY OF THE CENTER SPOT   Is Jesus in the center of your life today?  Or do you need to take care of many other things before you can get to him? In a Berlin art gallery there once hung an unfinished picture by Menzel of Frederick the Great talking to his generals.  There was a small bare patch in the center of the picture where a charcoal sketch indicated the artist’s intentions.  He had painted in all the generals, but he had left the king to the last. That seems life-like to us, doesn’t it?  We carefully put in all the generals (work, family, house, car, etc.) and leave the King to the last, with the hope that someday we may still get the King in the center.  Menzel died before he could finish his picture.  You can get to heaven without house or family or riches, but you can’t get there without Jesus. He is everything.  The One who died that I might live is worth center spot in my life and yours.  Everything else pales in comparison! “I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.”  Philippians 3:8

ANNOUNCEMENTS Wednesday Morning Bible Study will begin this week, September 4, at 10:00AM, in the chapel, with a study of 2 Samuel. Communion Schedule & Friendship Sunday  The calendar for September lists communion on the regular 2nd and 4th weekends.   After further review, we’d like to make Friendship Sunday as visitor friendly as possible.   Therefore, we’ll be observing communion on the 3rd and 5th weekend of September.  Please invite your unchurched friends to our special service and picnic on September 8.  [GJ - We do not want them turned off by Holy Communion. They might think we believe in the Sacraments, the Real Presence, the Means of Grace, the efficacy of the Word.] Kids' G.R.O.W. Staff Meeting - Monday, September 9 @ 6:30PM (Fellowship Hall)  All Kids' G.R.O.W. volunteers please attend as we want to discuss final details for 2013-2014.

The Information Is There To Be Read

Everyone can make a reasoned choice between apostasy and Biblical orthodoxy. Both sides publish extensively.

To promote their agenda, the Jeske thugs have to publish their successes, brag about them, and reveal their hideous philosophy. Their newsletters, sermons, and websites are available to everyone with a cheap computer and some bandwidth.

Team Jeske can be studied easily because they support one another, link to Time of Grace, and share the same bottom-feeding values: greed, selfishness, and materialism - all disguised as "mission."

Engelbrecht revealed - to the chorus of shocked WELS virgins - that he struck a deal with SP Schroeder to reward Ski for behavior that would end the career of a third string Packer.

Jeske is not exactly a man of mystery. He is on the board of Thrivent now, so he is the bagman for ELCA, agreeing cheerfully to donate perhaps $100 million a year to ELCA.

"ELCA is so bad, bad, bad!" WELS and Missouri both chant. And that is why they work with ELCA all the time, as the Internet discloses without blushing.

"What do Missouri and WELS stand for?" some ask innocently. Look at what they reward, what they overlook, and what they punish.

They work with ELCA because all the leaders agree on universal absolution and salvation without faith. The extreme right-wing of UOJ is one baby-step away from Universalism. The extreme Left is loudly, proudly Universalist, knowing the hicks from the Midwest are secret camp-followers and eager imitators. What Missouri and WELS do is more telling than their public relations buzz.

Mission: "Giving away $500,000 to buy a bankrupt bar
for clowns who write their sermons by copying them from the Internet."
