Still have some friends in the evangelical wilderness with the same mindset that continue to say things like: "Any stodgy church that doesn't have a rockin' band is dead. Any church that isn't growing is dead. Any church that limits the Holy Spirit is dead."<br /><br />Yes. The Red Letters have truly forgiven me. Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559715613833694598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787614419791965004.post-29055357444669805852015-12-21T17:54:23.014-08:002015-12-21T17:54:23.014-08:00Thank you BenThank you BenTanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011512591398739447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787614419791965004.post-50556900534689478552015-12-21T17:53:17.167-08:002015-12-21T17:53:17.167-08:00I hope that's in a good way :o)I hope that's in a good way :o)Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011512591398739447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787614419791965004.post-65823143332425736732015-12-21T17:53:02.389-08:002015-12-21T17:53:02.389-08:00Thank you Rev.

So even the Lutheran church is built on the love of Jesus but the hate of Luther.
