Please give a gift to help continue the ministry of Exposing the ELCA! In the first few months of 2021 Exposing the ELCA made a goal to raise $75,000 to support the work of informing the public about the teachings, advocacy, and beliefs the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. From that first day until now that goal has fell woefully short. As of today, $3635.13 has been given to this work. To those who have given, thank you very much! Your support is a great encouragement! To those who haven't given but believe in this mission, would you consider an end of the year gift today? Credit card and paypal users can make gifts here. Thank you!

Years ago I graduated from Luther Seminary in Saint Paul, Minnesota, a seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. When I attended it was moderate to liberal, today is radical with transgender and lesbian speakers and prayers to God the “Mother.”
Now and then I drive through Luther’s parking lot to see the awful bumper stickers on students’ cars. Below is one. This person fits right in with the ELCA, which pays for abortion for any reason whatsoever in its healthcare plan, a plan funded by offering dollars. That’s right, your offering dollars at work in the ELCA, paying for abortion for pastors and their families. Way back in 1997 some of us tried at a church convention to put restrictions on abortion payments, but we failed. I left that convention hall and literally shook the dust off my feet, and later led my congregation out of the ELCA to join a more biblical branch of Lutheranism. In Jesus our Savior, Pastor Tom Brock
A man dressed in drag preached the sermon at St. Luke's Lutheran Church of Logan Square in Chicago Sunday. This ELCA church sits in the shadow of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America headquarters, also in Chicago.
Seminarian Aaron Musser preached dressed as a woman and at one point in the service had children sitting at his feet.
To all ELCA pastors, ELCA members, and ELCA churches: You are participating in a denomination that mocks God, that destroys faith and defies God's Word. Standing before God, you will have to give account for remaining in this heretical, false teaching, fake Christian denomination. And your remaining in the denomination is an endorsement of the ELCA to all your members.

In the below worship service led by a transgender pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, this man who presents himself as woman says "The grace of Jesus the Christ, the love of God the Creator, and the communion of the queer-making Spirit be with you all." The creed in this service states "I believe in Jesus Christ, Sophia, the Word". "Sophia" is a feminine image for God that feminists use to worship the "Divine Feminine." Along the same line, God is referred to in the service as "The Divine Seamstress". This is the strange new world of the ELCA. One cannot say that the extremes of the below service are not shared by the ELCA's national leadership. ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton has made two gay pride videos and at the ELCA's Youth Gathering an 11-year-old boy who thinks he is a girl was put on stage to promote transgenderism to 31,000 Lutheran teens. At the installation of the ELCA's first transgender bishop, Bishop Eaton prayed to God as "Parent, Child and Holy Breath" and as "Rain, Estuary, and Sea". I hear from people periodically who say they stay in their ELCA congregation because they have been members so long and they would have to leave their friends. But sometimes Jesus says to leave and "shake the dust off your feet". I believe that time is now for Bible-believing Christians who are still in the ELCA and supporting it with their offering dollars and their presence. Our first allegiance is to Jesus, not to our friends nor to our denomination. Sincerely in Christ, Pastor Tom Brock |
