(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.) The Christian Church is to be about saving souls and bringing the Gospel of Christ to all nations (Matthew 28:19). But Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America told a Chicago newspaper that she believes Hell, if it exists, is empty. So if everyone is going to heaven and the Church doesn't need to save souls, what will the ELCA do with its time and money? Sadly, from a look at ELCA press releases, the answer is: preach liberal politics. Here are the recent news releases from the ELCA: ELCA Church Council approves sanctuary church guidelines A pastoral word on the verdict of George Floyd's murder trial A statement from Bishop Eaton in addressing racial justice Earth Day statement from Bishop Eaton Bishop Eaton issues statement on gun violence Bishop Eaton issues statement addressing anti-Asian racism Statement for the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination Lutherans participate in UN Commission on the Status of Women ELCA leaders call on Congress to pass US Citizenship Act Indigenous Peoples Month events We should all be against racism, but did you notice what is conspicuously absent? Not a word about evangelism and bringing lost people to Christ. From the ELCA's own headlines, it appears the saving Gospel of Christ has taken a backseat to the ELCA's zeal for liberal politics. Sincerely in Christ, Pastor Tom Brock

Among the many problems (see here) with the so called "Equality Act," is that "the Equality Act offers few protections for religious organizations and institutions that hold to traditional views of marriage and oppose things like gender reassignment surgeries." (See here) The ELCA understands this problem but are fulling endorsing the "Equality Act" anyway.  http://support.elca.org/site/MessageViewer;jsessionid=00000000.app20021a?em_id=5600.0&dlv_id=8893¤t=true&em_id=5600.0&NONCE_TOKEN=F17930CBA58EA4196111EBD9A7087B27  (The following article was written by Rev.

Bishop Laurie Larson Caesar of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Oregon Synod has joined with ELCA Head Bishop Elizabeth Eaton to promote the acceptance of transgenderism. To see Bishop Caesar perform a "marriage" of two homosexual men, click here: https://youtu.be/KKTZBExjWqk I will say once again, this is not my grandma's Lutheran church. Neither is it the church of Martin Luther. And it is certainly not a church based on the Bible. It has become the church of "anything goes." In Jesus our Savior, Pastor Tom Brock  I guess we should not be surprised that the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, by way of the Metro D.C. Synod and their Synod Council Interim Vice President, produced a devotional video with a Buddhist/Hindu statue sitting in the background. Let me be clear to ELCA leadership and anyone who doesn't know God's Word very well. Buddhism is a false religion. Hinduism is a false religion. God says this in Exodus 20:2-3, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me." I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols. - Isaiah 42:8 “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. - John 14:6  Help Exposing the ELCA raise $75,000, an amount many ELCA pastors make in one year.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has a goal to promote themselves, to bring people into the denomination. "It’s our intent to contact a million new people and introduce them to the ELCA as this community of Jesus. This has to be our great mission and our great purpose," says ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton. (see here) Exposing the ELCA, this ministry, wants to be here to inform those that the ELCA is contacting and others, of the heresy, wicked teachings and departure from Biblical Truth that permeates the denomination. Would you help us! Exposing the ELCA is seeking $75,000, an amount many ELCA pastors make in one year, so that we can continue to help people know the truth about the ELCA.
