Lutheran Hour Ministries (www.lhm.org), the outreach and evangelism specialists of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (www.lcms.org) again had a beautiful float in the Rose Bowl parade.  But you would have never known. 

The float, called “Hallelujah” was a large pipe organ with choir singing.  LHM’s float was strategically placed in front of the Grand Marshall, an old bra’ed who evidently has again become famous for her appearance on “Dancing with the Washed-up Stars.”

This line placement allowed the major networks the perfect reason to break away for commercial, coming back to the Grand Marshall, and effectively skip the only overtly Christian float in the parade. 

HGTV, who promotes their coverage as all-inclusive, showed the Lutheran Hour Ministries float, but commentators spent their time, about 15 seconds, talking about the float’s co-driver who was dress as a choir member and was sitting with the Lutheran Hour Choir.  HGTV moved on to the Grand Marshall as quickly as they could.

If you are paying attention, you are watching the last vestiges of Christianity being squeezed from our culture.  We are, as Turkey and north Africa were a millennium ago, and Europe currently is, being overtaken by secularism, which will be replaced by another religion…Islam.

Kyrie Eleison!
