Why Can’t the LCMS Preach?
Be sure to read - "Caemmerer’s Preaching fop the Church" By a fop or for fops?
A reader sent me this Gottesdienst link, suggesting the comments were more interesting than the article. I was going to write about preaching today, so this sparked my interest. |
| Luther said it best. He taught the Biblical efficacy of the Word.The LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC (sic) yokels teach against it. |
Here is my summary:

Bad Sermons Come from Satan's Useful Idiots
The Lutheran Hymnal remains the best Christian hymnal around - so they got rid of it.
The historic liturgy was well done, so they dumped it, adopted feminist woke language, then switched to cringy entertainment sneaker services.
The King James Version is the only translation based on the precision of Luther's Bible and the traditional text, so the wise guys of Lutherdom switched the anti-Lutheran RSV, NIV, ESV - which embrace the fraud and deceit of Seminex.
The Chief Article of Christianity was officially taught in the LCMS-WELS, so the leaders like McCain, Harrison, Valleskey, Bivens got rid of it entirely and now punish anyone who teaches Justification by Faith. They make shunning look like a party invitation - in love, of course.
Lutheran outreach worked well because faith mattered, so they replaced that - in the name of growth - with business methods, marketing, and gigantic costs for nothing.
Luther was and remains the greatest Biblical teacher of all time, so they treated the Reformation's 500th anniversary like Fri-YAY on QVC and sold Here I Stand socks.
Seminary education is not for learning Greek, Hebrew, Homiletics, and German - as it was at Gettysburg long ago - but about making sure every graduate is an anti-Lutheran, woke, synod-worshiping drone.

"If you want to preaching (sic) like a Lutheran, read, deeply, the sermons of Martin Luther. We now have his Church Postils available in the best available translation in English, based on the best texts that Luther personally approved of before his death, in the 1540s."
GJ - Note we give away 11 volumes of PDFs of Luther's Sermons, the Lenker set and the Postils.

| The nuns taught Paul trigger-nometry and Romanism, but not spelling, so he became an editor at CPH. |

| They have truly lived off the fat of the land. |
