Coming late to this article, I can't help but think of the German LC and how many Pastors and Bishops capitulated to the outrageous, overtly false and profoundly evil Aryan Paragraph to buy comfort during the Third Reich. "End times upon us"? Christ himself started the clock on the end times at his last appearance and the Great Commission, right? It's a discomfiting thought, but it will get MUCH worse, imo, and all we can do in the meantime is what Our Lord told us at the deliverance of that Great Commission... teach, preach and confess our faith. He will take care of the rest. "Let not your hearts be troubled"....
