Bill’s passion for reaching God’s lost people has resulted in two unique ministries: CrossPoint Community Church (LCMS), a multi-site church with two campuses and two partner churches it is helping launch, with a vision for 20 campuses and partner churches by 2020; and FiveTwo, a “how-to” network for sacramental church leaders who want to more effectively reach God’s lost people in the U.S. and around the world. FiveTwo desires to equip 10,000 sacramental entrepreneurs who launch 1,000,000 sacramental communities for lost people by 2044.

Does he sound Lutheran to you? Not to me either. . . but he is the guru of the Texas District LCMS and trying to awaken the sleeping giant of the LCMS using the poison pill of Evangelicalism (worship, theology, and style). . .
The shibboleth of "sleeping giant" Lutherans use to describe the LCMS is way past its expiration date.

ReplyDeleteI am reminded of when Pastor Kieschnick sent out his "Trouble in River City" video message to district conventions, as a way to introduce his Blue Ribbon Task Force presenters/salesmen. The pastor on my left leaned over and said, "Do you think he knows that it is the huckster who sings that song in the musical?"
