John has left a new comment on your post "Mark and Avoid Jeske Crosses the Wide Missouri":
Jeske appears to be another learned man who is so tied up in promoting his own agenda that the message of Christ, and Him crucified is totally lost.
One wonders whether Jeske has lost his identity as a Lutheran, or is denying that identity.
I have heard his program being praised as great for the W/ELS home bound and servicemen serving in areas where no W/ELS services are available.
How is this possible when there is no such affiliation mentioned in the program?
I dare say that if one looks at Jeske's program, simply applying the test of whether it spreads the message of Christ, and Him crucified, one will mark this program as having absolutely nothing to do with his/her salvation. Such a person will not only avoid this program, but also spread the word that it's a total waste of time.
What an opportunity this man has had to spread the Word. Has he done so?

Those German immigrants were coming in by the boat loads. Now Jeske, it is 100 years later and more Lutheran churches have been built. Perhaps your faith lies in the Fleck Foundation. Maybe the LCMS? I know pastors who started a mission church on a shoe string budget. This was done without church growth gimmicks.(the pastor went out in the community and talked one-on-one with people) According to my source, this was no get rich quick scheme. The sad part is that these same churches with humble beginnings, are being lead by C&C/CG pastors. Jeske, do you subscribe to the Holy Scripture and the BOC? "Change or die." Sorry Mark Jeske, I will not sell my soul!
In Christ,
