Well then.

Another QUOTATION. (Thanks, Krieger.)

Many cures of the past have started with action plans, goals, and objectives. Many church leaders have said to one another, when trying to adopt a secular fad, “How can we baptize this concept and use it in the church?” only to wonder years later why the newest trend failed them so utterly…
By placing our faith in the Word and sacraments, knowing that “God gives the growth,” our self-confidence diminishes and our confidence in God grows. No one can reject us, so how can we fail to
take the message of the gospel everywhere? People will hear the gospel, and the Word will open their hearts, just as it opened the heart of Lydia: “And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.” (Acts 16:14 KJV). If they reject the Word, they are rejecting Christ, not us.
Knowing that the strength of the church comes from the means of grace, we need not be ashamed of the pure doctrine of Scripture, or catholic worship using the historic liturgy, or the sacraments.

(p.s. “Catholic” in its true sense, meaning “universal.” The RC church has hijacked the term.)
