Michigan District LCMS Invites Fuller Professor Bullslinger To Teach Them Wisdom

Is there an Olympic medal for riding a bike to betray one's confession of faith?
Lawrence Otto Olson got his Drive-Buy DMin at Fuller $eminary.
How much has WELS grown since?
 I hope these insights were shared with the Michigan District. How soon Calvinism returns to the house once swept and garnished!
"Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it. 44) "Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came'; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and garnished. 45) "Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation." Matthew 12:43-45


Just back from the LCMS Michigan District all pastors' conference. The theme for the conference was "Metanoia: Living in change" with the Rev. Dr. Tod Bolsinger from Fuller Theological Seminary as the keynote speaker. One can go to the Michigan District web site https://michigandistrict.org/ for more information.
