The CORE must have been reading your blog because there are now listings on their events page and their calendar. The calendar shows the sermon series for the next several weeks. Compare the topics to those listed here:

Urban Legends
View this series. Series ID: 83
4 week series

Do you know someone who's seen Bigfoot's tracks? What about Nessie in Loch Ness? Of course, almost every kid has learned that there really are alligators in the sewer. You know how it goes: someone sees something and tells someone who then tells someone else. On and on and on it goes until its hard to separate fact from fiction. This doesn't just happen with alligators and Bigfoot... it happens with spiritual truths as well. Join us as we separate fact from fiction and debunk spiritual myths.

Is it really what's inside that counts? If so, what's going on inside you? Worry? Doubt? Loneliness? Lust? Sometimes the internal struggles that no one else sees are the ones that blind us the most. We'll get the inside story on how God offers hope and strength for overcoming these battles in this series, The Sickness Within.

Must be a coincidence.

GJ - So why is he still preaching Groeschel's sermons?

*To kelm or to parlow: copying another parson's sermons and taking credit for them. In the Patterson Circuit, a copied sermon is called a doebler. Kelming and parlowing are often followed by large but undeserved grants. A doebler is always backed by rock music and disappointing grant allotments.


Ski attended a one-day conference led by Craig Groeschel and Andy Stanley, yet another coincidence. Ski, Parlow, and Buske worshiped at the Andy Stanley Babtist conference at Northpoint Community Church in Atlanta. Ski also attended a conference at Granger Community Church.
Ski's Drive 08 Journal

The final Main Session with Andy Stanley was just phenomenal. We began with awesome worship. Today though, they began with a Christian rapper, Toby Mac. Our school kids would have loved it. I’m not sure that they would have believed that it was church though.

When Andy began his session. He started by saying that he was not going to follow his notes in the Drive ’08 Journal Book. Instead he was going to do something that he called, “Recent Random Thoughts On Church Leadership.” He shared 5 points and 5 takeaways. I think that he was at his absolute best this afternoon.

Kelming and parlowing have reduced WELS to the tragic state it is in today: disrespect for the Word, unethical behavior, stupidity, ignorance, laziness, stubbornness arrogance, etc. etc. etc.

It's disgusting to me that this so-called church is allowed to continue as a WELS project. Sad part of it is, most people sitting in the pews throwing their weekly offering into the plate, have no idea it could be going to fund The Core. As long as they are open for business as a WELS entity, I cannot give synod a dime of my hard-earned money. What's the point of going to four years of college and another four years at the Seminary if all you need to do is copy and paste a different church's work whom we are not even in fellowship with. Ski disgusts me.
