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.

From a WELS pastor's blog site, recent books read, the first two are:
Just Walk Across the Room by Bill Hybels (Church Growth hero - Willow Creek Community Church, where WELS pastors are trained)
The Gospel According to Starbucks by Leonard Sweet/done (Church and Change apostates love Sweet).
Oh, Luther was not on the list.
