It’s incredible how many people misread/misrepresent what is said here.
The point, quite clearly, is for us to consider why the LCMS hasn’t reached minorities with the gospel so that we can consider how we can better do so. Because all people need the gospel. https://twitter.com/chris_paavola/status/1321891840682086410">https://twitter.com/chris_paa...

You can disagree with how it is phrased and that’s fine. But don’t automatically become defensive and assume you’re being attacked in this tweet. Also don’t be a racist who blames everything on minorities.

If you know me or have followed me on Twitter for a while, you know that I’m quite conservative in my theology and practice. But sometimes we use “just preach the word and administer the sacraments” as an excuse for laziness.

Walther and the early American Lutherans were relentless evangelizers. We can and should learn from that example.

Rather than assume you’re being attacked or that someone raising questions is undermining good theology, let’s be secure enough to engage the question or facts and humble enough to consider that we might not be doing something correctly.
