It is the only LCMS congregation within driving distance.<br /><br />Hey anonymous. Come and walk in my shoes. I try to be faithful and charitable in my support of this church but it stretches the limits of my patience nearly every week.<br /><br />Yea, I am sure your pastor has his faults but I would trade what I have for him any day of the week. Nearly every week I follow his sermon or others published on blogs because the sermon I get is the word of God light or little word at all.<br /><br />How thin is your skin and what would you do if you were in my place?

You can look back and see them for yourself. Whether or not you agree with them, you are being disingenuous to say he "writes his own". He has reason for them and if you do not agree that is your right but he does not make these things up from thin air. I think that anonymous needs to be more careful in his or her words.Sometime visitor to Grace Lutherannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-88009370800914257692013-08-10T18:12:03.772-05:002013-08-10T18:12:03.772-05:00Apparently, anonymous has a couple dozen axes to g...Apparently, anonymous has a couple dozen axes to grind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073133370186466297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-59555735725690507172013-08-10T18:00:55.986-05:002013-08-10T18:00:55.986-05:00@Anonymous: I find it hard to believe that he &quo...@Anonymous: I find it hard to believe that he "writes his own service" and "his own version of creeds," with all that he writes here on this website.

Someone said, "I thought you don't believe all this." His response was, "I don't, but he does."<br /><br />Unbelievers don't want music, talks, conversations, entertainments sub-standard to what they can find in the world. The only people impressed by all of it are the ones who think they are being relevant and edgy.<br /><br />@ Anonymus: I'm so sorry you are bitter. I'm sorry you don't feel comfortable at Grace. Please consider taking into account that we aren't all over the page as I believe Fr. Peters intended it. We might not follow LSB or TLH, but the divine service at Grace is unmistakeable. We're definitely not the happy clappy pseudo-evangelicalism that has infected many LCMS churches. Suffice it to say that there are at least two former evangelicals who might now be agnostics if there were not a church body worshipping like Grace in our area.Janis Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947508427040251166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-34378587420620099002013-08-10T07:10:15.005-05:002013-08-10T07:10:15.005-05:00"Lutherans who were once all on the same page..."Lutherans who were once all on the same page (Common Service) are now all over the page and many outside the books to the point where you never quite know what to expect." .
