Comment about Church and Change

Pastor Jackson,

I wanted to add a comment to your recent posting, "Church and Change Leading the Sheep". Here is an article taken from a presentation made during the WELS Church Door Symposium in 2004.

[GJ - Be sure to read the article by Mrs. Wendland above, especially the ending. You will burn your bra and march against oppression of men after finishing the essay. The illustration is so silly that she destroys any notion she should be taken seriously.]

Paul Kelm and John Parlow were featured speakers from the WELS also. I see from the Charis website that in August of this year they suspended operations. Fortunately most of their information is still online. It details the war they are raging against the Holy Spirit through the promotion of the Church Growth Movement. "Research Update - Effective Evangelistic Churches"

is another example.

Like other WELS groups Charis is involved with political agendas (view their links page) and working with the ELCA and LCMS.
(http://www.lcms.org/pages/internal.asp?NavID=4005) on funding Lutheran World Relief which is a United Nations supporting operation. The same Satan worshiping UN of which the Antichrist is head and through which they are working to create the New World Order.

Most lay people in the WELS shrug when they see doctrines change. Little do they know just how deep the iceberg goes.
