Thanks to Bill W., who left us for the passionately persistent paradigm of 'Law and Gospel', in the LCMS. That is, some, or most, LCMS congregations. He's kind of an aficionado of things Jethro Tull.

--- SO, JUST TAKE GOD'S WORD FOR IT ---
Man's relationship to God in creation was based on works. What Adam failed to achieve,
Christ, the second Adam, succeeded in achieving. Ultimately the only way one can be
justified is by works. (R.C.Sproul)
Works! Works! A man gets to heaven by works? I would as soon think
of climbing to the moon on a rope of sand! (George Whitefield)
“With the wolves you cannot be too severe. With the weak sheep you cannot be too gentle.” (Martin Luther on false teachers)

Yeah, Bill laid some Tull on me a time or two. And Floyd. And Cockburn.
"Let's have a laugh for the man of the world
Who thought he could make it work
Thought he'd build a new Jerusalem
And ended up with New York"
I've never been sure if that's a criticism of the Puritans or of progressive social architects. Either way, I guess.
