At its recent convention, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America passed a resolution to take a second look at its 2009 decision to allow both conservative and liberal views on homosexuality. Some feel this needs to be amended because the LGBT community does not feel “welcomed“ in some ELCA congregations. Conservatives, on the other hand, have not felt welcomed in the ELCA for years. Here are a few examples: As ELCA seminaries become more radical and shrink in numbers, some seminaries have had to sell off buildings. Two ELCA seminaries in Pennsylvania had to merge. When it was discovered that the new president of the newly merged seminary held a conservative viewpoint on homosexuality years ago (she has now become more liberal), people became upset and she had to resign. Who replaced her? The ELCA’s first homosexual bishop with a “husband” is now the president of the ELCA’s United Seminary in Pennsylvania. Another example is the ELCA’s national magazine Living Lutheran, which regularly highlights the liberal view on transgenderism and homosexuality but will not allow a conservative viewpoint in its pages. The ELCA‘s head bishop, Elizabeth Eaton, in recent years has done an annual “gay pride video“ celebrating homosexuality and transgenderism. Such examples show the “tolerance“ of the ELCA is a tolerance of the left. If you are a conservative, you are being pushed to the margin. I remember many years ago when I was still in the ELCA, we were asked at a church convention to get to the microphone and answer the question “Who is the ELCA pushing out of our church?“ Liberal pastors immediately said “Our LGBT brothers and sisters” (that was back when you could say “brothers and sisters“, which is now too binary, Elizabeth Eaton talks about “our LGBT siblings“). I got to the microphone and said “No, the people being pushed out of this denomination are Bible-believing Christians who desire to follow the Word of God.” That was true back then. It is tragically much more true today. Sincerely in Christ, Pastor Tom Brock

This is the final day of our Fall Fundraiser. Exposing the ELCA needs your support in order to faithfully fight the battle for truth. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has almost unlimited resources, power and people to spew their false teachings. The Devil is the father of lies and He introduced lies into his representation of the words of God. They ELCA does the same.
People in our nation and around the world need to know they can not trust the ELCA. The ELCA purports to be Christian but they are not. They are teaching and leading people away from the truth of God's Word and it is having eternal consequences.
Below we are going to explain the work we are doing to help save people from the clutches of the ELCA, but first, would you give to the work God is doing through Exposing the ELCA? The goal is $15,000 for this fall and we are woefully short of that. If you have the means, could you make a gift of $10,000 to this ministry? $7500? A few large donations are needed and will go a long way combined with smaller gifts to Exposing the ELCA so we can fight for the souls of people, against this multibillion dollar denomination.

We also connect with media outlets to inform them of the ELCA related information. This has resulted in hundreds of articles, radio and national television reports. Because of this millions of people have heard about the heretical information of the ELCA. On https://www.exposingtheelca.com/support.html is a list of media quoting myself or this ministry) - Research and monitor: A lot of time is required to investigate, write, and research the ELCA. This ministry has also inspired others to report disturbing findings of the ELCA. - Help people: Exposing the ELCA receives many communications from people concerned about the ELCA, from people wanting to know how to help their congregation leave the ELCA, to those that feel alone in their thoughts about the troubling things they hear and see going on in their church. Exposing the ELCA is a watchman on the wall (Ezekiel 3:17-19) warning people of the dangers of the ELCA. We could use some faithful givers to help this ministry continue the work of God. Thank you!

Day 4
The ELCA cares nothing for sharing the Good News of Christ's death and resurrection, the forgiveness of sins for those that believe. With the prevailing belief in universalism in the ELCA, the Good News is not important. Instead they turn to transgender talks in the church, pushing conservative voices out of the denomination, women's marches, gun marches, refugee marches, declaring your pronouns, anti-Israel advocating, abortion love, free sex, pushing leftist beliefs, collecting money, race baiting, making a name for themselves, indoctrinating members and the youth, LGBT everything, destroying faith in God's Word, encouraging and binding people in their sin.
I began this ministry, Exposing the ELCA, in 2009, as a mission of love for those being lied to, whose faith was being destroyed, for those being encouraged to sin and the ELCA’s blessing of sin.
Over the past 13 years Exposing the ELCA has reached many people with over 3.2 million pages viewed, have been quoted on national media, and have heard stories from many who have been helped and blessed by this ministry. I wouldn’t doubt if you know those who after reading some of Exposing the ELCA’s information, left the ELCA and are now part of your church family. The teachings and actions of the ELCA grow colder and bolder in wickedness every year and the need for this ministry is greater than ever. Exposing the ELCA is the primary source in the nation documenting the ELCA's deception, showing people their heresy and disregard and twisting of God's Word. The ELCA would love to see this ministry silenced. They are watching this fundraiser in hopes that it fails. We have a long way to go to meet our goal of $15,000. Is there someone who would give a gift of $10,000? We need your support both large and small, monthly gifts and one-time gifts. Thank you for supporting this ministry!

Here are three newly added ELCA exposing articles:
God has used this to open the eyes of faithful Christians in the ELCA and many are not willing to stay and participate in this evil.
Before we look at some more recent examples of what the ELCA is doing and saying, would you give to the ministry of Exposing the ELCA so we can continue to provide evidence of the ELCA's departure from Truth, God's Word and the Good News of Jesus? Checks can be sent to: Exposing the ELCA 1390 Forest LN Marion, IA 52302 Below are articles detailing what the ELCA has been doing, teaching and advocating for over the last few years: More Universalism from the ELCA
One person stood by Exposing the ELCA yesterday with a gift to continue to pull people from the fire of hell that awaits those who listen to so many of these false teachers.
We are a long way from the meager goal of $15,000 this ministry needs to continue this good work that God called us to do.
I am praying for God's will to be done. Pray with us if you will.

Exposing the ELCA's calling is to shine light on the ELCA's departure from God and Scripture. Why? Because leading people away from God's Word has devastating and eternal consequences for people. In order to do that we are having a 5-day Fall Fundraiser.
Would you help us continue this vital work? Exposing the ELCA provides daily highlights of the actions and false teachings of the $2 -billion dollar, 3 million member and 10,000+ liberal pastor-woke army of the ELCA. This is an effort to help people know the truth and not be directed down the path of spiritual destruction. With God on our side, we are winning the battle. God's Word tells us to "contend earnestly for the faith." (Jude 1:3) Exposing the ELCA reports on how the ELCA has departed from the Christian faith and we have seen hundreds of thousands leave the ELCA because of it. If you are a Lutheran you likely know someone who has left the ELCA and there is a good likelihood God used the work of Exposing the ELCA to help facilitate that move. After twelve years of predominantly voluntary ministry work at Exposing the ELCA, we must now ask those who believe in this ministry to help provide for the costs and labor to keep this running. We are aiming to raise $15,000 this fall, and we are having a special push to get there in the next 5 days. Can you help with a large or small, one-time or monthly gift to this important work that has life-saving results? We are also calling on thousands of churches that have benefited from the work of Exposing the ELCA to help. The LCMC, LCMS, and NALC are three of the many denominations or associations that have made huge gains in membership and offerings because of this ministry. ExposingtheELCA.com has garnered over 3.2 million page views since it began, inspired hundreds of news reports about the ELCA, and witnessed over 1 million people leave the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. And yet there is so much more for us to do. So many more need the resources we provide.
