Potluck 11/01/2000
"There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord." (Proverbs 21:30)
"When you look at America today, you see a country awash with saying yes. There is a famous statement that comes from the French student revolt of 1968 when French students scribbled on walls, 'It is forbidden to forbid.' That is the situation in America, awash with all sorts of people, saying yes to the weird. The taboos no longer are in place. America has lost the capacity to say no to evil, and that is a very dangerous place to be." (Os Guinness, Current Thoughts & Trends, June 2000)
"Man is flying too fast for a world that is round. Soon he will catch up with himself in a great rear-end collision, and Man will never know that what hit Man from behind was Man." James Thurber
"Younger people in the United States are redefining religion as something more inner-directed or 'spiritual,' detaching themselves from traditional Christian concepts such as the belief in Jesus as the 'unique Savior of mankind' or the idea of moral absolutes." ("America's Ever-changing Religious Landscape" by Richard N. Ostling, Brookings. Review quoted in The Futurist, August-September 1999)
"Synod" means walking together. Although congregations operate independently of the administration and each other, they voluntarily walk with each other, subscribing to the doctrines of WELS.
WELS works in 35 different languages.
WELS has a Committee on Relief. Through extra-budgetary gifts the committee offers cash grants, food, clothing, and medical supplies to victims of tragedy.
About 385 pastors work through the WELS Campus Ministry Committee to bring God's word to 8,000 students on college campuses in the United States and Canada.
At least 21 WELS churches have services that are signed for the deaf.
You can hear Message from the Master on the WELS Web site. Check it out at
St. Paul, Franklin, Wis., used the 4th of July Parade in Franklin to follow through with the message of the April Outreach 2000 campaign and to promote the Forward in Christ anniversary theme.
