I sometimes wonder what percentage of WELS members even know how doctinal WELS is supposed to be.Just like the mega churches that seem to preach only the feel good parts of the Bible, sometimes I think so goes many WELS churches. How many churches still have Bible classes for new members that cover what the Word of God says before they are accepted as members? Is one class sufficient?<br />It is sad when church services have to end early so people can watch their football teams. So they are cut down in time and yet the jokes and other forms of humor to lighten things up still are included. It is sad when abortion is pretty much not brought up so as not to offend people who believe it is fine. <br />I often wonder has something changed in our seminary? Are they taught they need humor? I for one don't appreciate it as 10 - 15 minutes of the law and gospel per week is not enough. If WELS is to continue to be a confessional Biblical church something had better change. <br />How many people read their Bibles? <br /><br />Thank you for your message.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691485174531815636noreply@blogger.com
