"I encourage you to check out the book The Present Future by Reggie McNeal. I saw him speak at WLC and I believe we can learn from his insight. Any other thoughts I would appreciate hearing from you.
Love 'em like Jesus!" Mark Heckendorf
GJ - This was part of a youth leaders discussion, a neat way to get even more people started reading Fuller Seminary content. Of course, McNeal is also in the WELS Womb to Tomb schwaermer marketing book.
Notice that dear old Reggie was brought to Wisconsin Lutheran College as a featured speaker. David Valleskey, Fuller alumnus and retired seminary president, calls this "Spoiling the Egyptians," a novel approach where Lutherans raid the garbage heaps of false teachers.
The Amen Corner of WELS--the Little Sect on the Prairie--endorses raiding the garbage.
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.
