LutherQueasies No Longer Attacking Online Worship

 The LutherQueasies do the same thing, because their creed is identical - "God has declared the entire world forgiven."

Some readers will rejoice that SpenerQuest (aka LutherQueasy) has listed a few links to online services. They used to be deeply offended that we offered them every Sunday - including Advent and Lent, which some of their Church Growth parishes ignored altogether.

The WELS approach is so meager that one parish made a minor effort, including a borrowed sermon. Isn't that pure WELS? They brag about copying sermons to ease their tremendous work load, so why have everyone write his own sermon? Luther taught what Jesus practiced - preaching as the primary Means of Grace. WELS-ELS-LCMS people "know" that methods and gimmicks work, because their Calvinist professors teach how fickle the Holy Spirit is.

The Enthusiasts, who separate the Spirit from the Word, speak of everything they sell as "Spirit-anointed." Their programs, books, lectures, tapes, and software are all anointed. What is not anointed in their view? - the Word of God. They believe, teach, and confess that the Word is dead unless they make it come alive, forcing the Word to become real, relational, and relevant.

Real, relevant, and relational where the words on Ski's movie theater, but the images do not show up on searches.


We broadcast and save all our worship services and educational series. Our next door neighbor became a Christian and left her cult, and she watched each service before she died. She was so weak that she could barely walk next door.

People write in to say how much they appreciated having a traditional Lutheran service available when they were snowed in, sick, or unable to attend their local church. Every sermon is written out and sent around to those who want to receive the entire service and sermon by email.

Members visit and attend services, finding out how close our communion service is. We also travel and conduct services in various states.

 ELDONUT evangelism - the heart of it all.
