Fellowship, Schmellowship

Another kind reader has passed along an interesting tidbit received in the mail. The following is a quote from Curt Hanna, producer of Time of Grace, starring Pr. Mark Jeske of the WELS. This statement was made after appearing on Celebration, a program on the Daystar Television Network (not of the WELS) hosted by Marcus and Joni Lamb who founded the Daystar Television Network (not of the WELS).

“It was a joy to experience the excitement of the LIVE Celebration program in the studio with Pastor Mark,” Curt said. “And I believe the Lambs and Daystar staff thoroughly enjoyed having Mark on the show. For us to join our ministry with theirs was truly an example of the Lord using the diversity of the body of Christ to minister through the media.”

The same synod that advises against saying table prayers with your LCMS grandmother is ok with Pastor Mark Jeske joining his ministry with the non-WELS founders of the Daystar Television Network?

Mark Jeske playing kissy-face with Daystar is a good example of the duplicitous approach that WELS leadership takes with the laity - "do as I say and not as I do". Let's face it folks, Mark Jeske can do what he wants and the synod muckety-mucks won't touch him. When challenged, no doubt the response would have to do with the fact that Time of grace is not an official WELS organization.

BUT...Pastor Mark Jeske is still a Called Servant of the Word at a WELS congregation that is part of the Southeastern Wisconsin District. Would not his District President admonish him?
