If I had to pick the very worst moment of the year 2022, I might pick one that I did not list below, namely, when head bishop Elizabeth Eaton of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America went to the White House to advocate for abortion rights. Or, it might be when she produced yet another gay pride video promoting the LGBTQAI+ agenda.
Below are 12 of the worst moments of the year for ELCA Lutherans: January: ELCA’s first transgender bishop reads storybook she wrote to help children accept transgenderism February: The national church council of the ELCA affirms “gender-non-binary, gender-fluid, women, men and other genders” March: Canadian Lutheran pastor: Jesus did not die for our sins and God the Father needs to step down for sexually assaulting Mary April: “Openly queer” preacher at ELCA’s Luther Seminary embraces his bisexuality, and thus experiences “resurrection” May: Radically liberal Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago is forced to sell off its buildings June: Roe v. Wade is overturned and head ELCA bishop urges Lutherans to advocate for abortion rights July: ELCA’s Living Lutheran magazine says to use LGBT pronouns or people may kill themselves August: ELCA’s national assembly practices Native American smudging and praying to the four winds September: ELCA’s United Theological Seminary hosts “out and proud” transgender advocate, saying “she is a father…” October: ELCA Lutheran lesbian bishop sings “Homosexual is not in the Bible” November: “Brazenly queer” male professor at Pacific Lutheran University says “I will wear skirts and blouses when I preach in chapel” December: More attacks on God the Father from Living Lutheran magazine article: God language needs to be inclusive “of all genders and no gender” The above heresies abound not just in the ELCA, but also in the United Church of Christ, the Episcopal Church in America, the Presbyterian Church USA, the United Methodists, the Disciples of Christ, and the Reformed Church in America. In spite of all this darkness, this week let us praise God that He sent His Son into the world to save us from the craziness and destructiveness of sin. Jesus is the only light of the world and He offers forgiveness of sins and eternity in heaven for all who will put their trust in him. May you have a wonderful Christmas celebrating our new-born King, Jesus Christ, the light of the world. Merry Christmas! Pastor Tom Brock PS.

In the video below, the bishop of the Lower Susquehanna Pennsylvania Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America makes a plea that Lutherans should become allies of the transgender movement. Lately the ELCA teaching seems to be that men who identify as women don’t need to repent, we who believe something is wrong with that do. The ELCA used to be liberal, now it is radically so. If you are still a member, it is way past time to leave for a more biblical denomination. In Christ, Pastor Tom Brock (The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org.

On April 30, 1987, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America was born. Looking back on its 35 year history, head bishop Elizabeth Eaton stated "It's not our intent to water down or minimize the gospel word, but to share the good news to make it rooted in tradition and radically relevant." The ELCA is certainly radical, but has it not watered down the gospel? Eaton told a Chicago newspaper Hell "may exist, but I think it's empty". The ELCA passed a resolution stating that "we do not know" what God thinks of non-Christian religions. The ELCA has the world's first transgender bishop. The ELCA pays for abortion for any reason with offering dollars in the denomination's healthcare plan. The past two years Eaton has produced gay pride videos celebrating June gay pride month (the ELCA ordains practicing homosexuals). If that isn't "watered down", I don't know what is. Sincerely in Christ, Pastor Tom Brock Woke ELCA Lutheran leaders affirm "gender-nonbinary, gender-fluid, women, men or other genders"12/13/2022

The Church Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the highest leadership board of the liberal denomination, at it's most recent meeting passed a resolution stating "...the percentage of laypeople not allocated to women or men may be allocated to persons who identify as gender non-binary, gender-fluid, women, men or other genders." "Other genders"? Jesus said "He who made them at the beginning made them male and female" (Matthew 19:4). There are no "other genders", Jesus said there are two. It is tragic that the ELCA continues to side with our confused culture rather than with Christ. In Jesus our Savior, Pastor Tom Brock

Dr. Peter Carlson teaches at California Lutheran University, which is affiliated with the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Professor Carlson‘s pronouns are They/Them He/Him and Carlson has a man as his “spouse”. Carlson teaches Gender and Religion and Queer Theology and CLU’s Facebook page quotes Carlson “I am going to be so brazenly queer that people will be forced to deal with queerness…. I will wear skirts and blouses when I preach in chapel. I will talk about my queer home life as much as other faculty talk about their straight home life. I will include gender and sexuality in every course I teach."
Below is a picture of Carlson wearing a skirt and heels on his way to preach at chapel. As he says, “Preachin’ in chapel gettin QUEER AF TODAY”. If you want your child to receive a Christian education, the ELCA’s California Lutheran University is about the last place you want to send them. Sincerely in Christ, Pastor Tom Brock |
