What I have tried to tell people for years! What my retired Uncle Pastor told me! Contemporary services and their lack of tradition, lack of liturgy, lack of the real Gospel message turn people off. Including myself!
It’s why I ended up in a Missourri Synod Lutheran Church.

Salvation, Grace, and Redemption prompt awe and reverence.
You and me both, brother, but my journey started before the “contemporary” slide toward Gomorrah in the LCMS.
Now, we have multiple practices that are riding a horse of a different colour.
