If you’re in a dead dying church, don’t quit going to church, just quit going to your church. And go find a church that’s alive & is teaching the conservative true word of God.” – Rev. Robert Jeffress

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America wants the U.N."to conduct an official fact-finding visit to examine the historic and present marks of racism and racial discrimination that have presented new and renewed, alarming trends of racism in the United States."
A letter was sent to the U.S. Secretary of State asking him to request that the United Nations conduct this investigation. The ELCA signed that letter along with over 80 other denominations/organizations including Southern Poverty Law Center, Center for Reproductive Rights, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Malcolm X Center for Self Determination, National Council of Churches, National LGBTQ Task Force, Presbyterian Church (USA) and The Episcopal Church. The letter, which used the biased Southern Poverty Law Center as a source, said, “We are deeply concerned by credible reports indicating a frightening resurgence in white supremacy, which has led to a rise in racism and hate crimes against racial, ethnic, and religious minority communities both in the US and abroad...According to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s 2018 annual report on hate and extremism in the United States, there has been 'a 30 percent increase in U.S. hate groups over the past four years and a 7 percent increase in hate groups in 2018 alone.'” The letter also states, "We are equally concerned about the rise of misogyny, homophobia, transphobia and antiimmigrant sentiments which have continued to escalate across the United States since the last U.S. presidential election." See the letter here. I have no respect of the United Nations and do not want it to be placed in a position of authority and judgement over us. This organization contains and coddles the worst of ideologies, while demonizing Israel every opportunity they can (ironically given the request for a study of racism). But this is the ELCA for you. 
Time to update your website, ELCA.org. The most current numbers are 3.4 million members and 9,163 congregations. 
The ELCA's Minneapolis Area Synod posted the following on their Facebook page. "Well, Maple Grove Lutheran Church is planning a worship service I never had anticipated, ... but kind of want to experience." They are having "the music of Queen Sunday." The synod Facebook post, see below, says it will be "a unique worship service."
The popular music group Queen was fronted by flamboyantly gay lead singer, Freddie Mercury. 
The ELCA's Southeastern Minnesota Synod wrote on Facebook about Trinity Lutheran Church in Blooming Prairie, MN Closing.  Also highlights ELCA pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber. 
ELCA Ammparo's Facebook page says it is "a holistic, whole church commitment by the ELCA to accompany migrant minors with protection, advocacy, representation and opportunity." Yesterday they, and the Southwest California Synod posted this supportive article about the migrant caravan heading to the United States.
Reformation Lutheran Church in Columbia, South Carolina says "All Are ALWAYS Welcomed & Affirmed Here!" as they announce their participation in a gay pride parade.
They have been on Twitter for 11 days and written 6 LGBT related tweets.
This woman is sadly deceived and needs our prayers. Even more so, the teenagers that were subjected to this lies of the devil (as this article highlights) coming from the ELCA and its minions.

Reverend Bolz-Weber leaves her ELCA Lutheran congregation in hands of homosexual pastor "married" to a drag queen You can't make this stuff up. Last month Bolz-Weber promoted "the beauty of queerness" to 31,000 teenagers at the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Teen Gathering, and now this. I"m not sure how much lower the ELCA can sink. How God must grieve. If you are still a member of the ELCA I ask you to ask yourself "If this doesn't get me to leave the ELCA, what will?" May the Lord lead you to join a denomination which doesn't promote immorality (and which also doesn't pay for abortion with offering dollars). Sincerely in Christ, Pastor Tom Brock http://pulpitandpen.org/2018/08/16/nadia-bolz-weber-steps-down-from-pastorate-is-replaced-by-gay-man-married-to-drag-queen/ If you had any doubt if the ELCA has taken a side on the homosexuality debate look what the official twitter page of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America retweeted. A tweet about a LGBT organization, the pushes for acceptance and approval of the homosexuality, etc., http://www.opendoorelca.org/2018/01/18/reconciling-in-christ-sunday-is-on-january-28th-2018/  Today I received this comment from an ELCA pastor:  Here was my reply:
Hi (....), Thanks for the concern. It concerns me deeply that a person would be part of an apostate denomination that encourages sin, teaches contrary to Scripture, advocates hatefully against the Jewish State, supports abortions and pays for them in their health care plan, pushes universalism, does not preach personal repentance, doesn't evangelize or make disciples of Christ, pushes liberal politics and views many accounts in scripture as myth. It is a faith destroying denomination. A Christian should not be part of the ELCA. Dan Skogen What kind of pastor talks about drawing "upon the Holy Spirit and the Spirits" or writes about "Revolution" and uses the hashtag "#BurnItDown?" An Evangelical Lutheran Church in America pastor, of course. ELCA Rev. Kwame Pitts posted this on her Facebook page:  And just a few days ago ELCA pastor Pitts attended "The Mystic Soul Conference." Just another normal day in the life of a normal ELCA pastor.  ELCA pastor Lura Groen shared this vile post by Wil Gafney, former associate professor of Hebrew and Old Testament at the ELCA's Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia (LTSP):  Exposing the ELCA, our sister website, is very familiar with both Lura Groen (see here) and Wil Gafney (see here). They are an embarrassment even by ELCA standards. UPDATE: I posted this on an ELCA clergy page and here are some responses:    A poster on an ELCA Clergy Facebook page asked for prayers regarding the attack on parishioners at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Here is a disturbing response by ELCA pastor Richard Rentner:  I imagine supporters of the 2nd amendment and NRA members who are also part of the ELCA will not look very favorably on this. If that is you please click here and then scroll to the bottom of the page to read more about the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's view on guns and the 2nd amendment.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is bringing in Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber to speak at the 2018 ELCA Youth Gathering.
Yes, Nadia Bolz-Weber is the famous ELCA pastor who:
- admits to being a universalist. - says the Wiccan goddess "never felt to me like a substitute for God but simply another aspect of the divine, like God's aunt or something." - called the 12 disciples "real f**k-ups." - said "nobody believes every line of the creed.” - doesn't believe in the substitutionary atonement of Christ. - said some of what Paul wrote in the Bible was "not necessarily the Word of God" but just his "snotty opinions." (see here for all the above points) - swears constantly. - supports Planned Parenthood. (see here) - presided over a re-naming liturgical rite for one of her transgender church members. (see here) - was the main writer of a document that said “WE DENY that sexual attraction for the same sex is outside the natural goodness of God’s original creation…” and “WE DENY that it is sinful to approve of queer identities and that such approval constitutes an essential departure from Christian faithfulness and witness.” (see here) - said "One of the more interesting things folks will say to me is: ‘I’m not religious or anything, I just hope that being a good person is enough.’ To which I always want to say… ‘enough for what?’ … avoiding the punishment of burning in the eternal fires of some kind of imaginary hell?” (see here) - signed the Naked and Unashamed statement, part of which said “We are ELCA Lutherans…The plethora of stories we hear in our conversations demonstrate that life and liberty are being oppressed in the pressure for church leaders to be in marital relationships, or otherwise abstain from all sexual intimacy. The common good of both parishioners and church leaders would benefit from the freedom to be in a variety of healthy relationships…” (see here) - had a drag queen MC Nadia's church Christmas pageant.
Here is how things went when Nadia Bolz-Weber spoke at the 2012 ELCA Youth Gathering. Teenagers going to the ELCA Youth Gathering will be influenced not just by Nadia Bolz-Weber but by so many ELCA leaders who agree with Nadia. Do not send your children to the ELCA Youth Gathering. Doing so is putting your young people's Earthly and eternal lives in danger. (by way of their false teachings, world view and theology) |
Dan Skogen 'See!' he said to all the people. 'This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the LORD has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue to your God.'
