I said, "Keep up with the real news."
I told Ranger Bob, who was lower than a snake's belly today, "You are cordially invited to stop by and say, "You were right all along!"
The truth wins.
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 pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel and paper by the truckload." - Old Journalist Saying
LutherQuest (sic) and Steadfast Lutherans (sic) are on life support now, barely able to publish soporific filler.
This advice may be too late, but I always tell my graduate students, "Copy and paste is not research or writing, and it will one day get you into trouble when people copy your timeless tosh and compare it on Google."

I Laughed at This Concept - The Citizen Journalist - Now Coming True
 |
| "The article on which the Church... oh, I am too sleepy after coffee with cream and danish." |
My adventures in journalism began at Coolidge Junior High, so English class was journalism class, and I helped with the student paper in a small way. Classes with credit came along later when I decided to add enough MA hours to qualify for teaching writing. True, I already had books and articles, plus teaching about 70 classes on how to write. But the suits who run higher education like credit, so I took some classes until I reached 20 hours.
One expert predicted, around 2006, that that citizen journalists would take over as the big newspaper empires collapsed. I did not think it would happen, even though I published independently to sneak past the watchful Objective Justification dragons. One morbidly obese bureaucrat made sure that even my ads on Logia were banned.
Blogging made it easy to publish the religion page and I had some hopes that more would do the same independently. But nothing is too good to be spoiled by their Father Below. The founder of Intrepid Lutherans was the first to bail out, doubtless pushed by the new Martin Luther, Mirthless Mark Schroeder. The nauseating Steadfast Lutherans began as lapdogs of OJ and Matt the Fat Harrison.
Nevertheless, the collapse of the mainlines will continue with the soi-disant Conservative Lutherans chanting their eulogies to their departing co-conspirators.
Meanwhile, the political blogs have taken off with great energy and resources. I find the big conservative sites rather tame and watered down. Independent writers with their own little blogs are providing what was predicted years ago. Everyone can record, research, and publish.
The reaction of the overfed yet under-read church bureaucrats has not been, "We should fix this!" No, they agree - "We must silence this."
