From the ELCA: Remove Pres. Trump and Hold All Responsible Who "Supported and/or Promoted the President’s False Claims About The Election"

1/8/2021

5 Comments

 
A letter signed by the Evangelical  Lutheran Church in America is calling for President Trump's removal from office.  Even more shocking, the ELCA comes against anyone who believes the 2020 election was fraudulent saying, "In addition, we recognize the need to hold responsible not only those who invaded the Capitol, but also those who supported and/or promoted the President’s false claims about the election, or made their own false accusations." (See here) 

Buckle-up God-fearing Christians, in a country that was built on freedom of speech, half of our society, big tech and the faux-Christian community have succumbed to hate and are now calling for repercussions for those with thoughts and beliefs that are not their own.  

It is time to reexamine your relationship with God, invest in your faith, grow in your knowledge of God's Word and train up those around you to do the same.  Fear not, God is with you.  

Here is the article on the ELCA website announcing the "​ELCA presiding bishop joins NCC leaders in letter to vice president, Cabinet and Congress."​

ELCA's Living Lutheran Christmas edition: "Mothering God" and the "rut" of referring to God mostly as Father

12/30/2020

3 Comments

 
(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.)

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America continues to push for a feminist understanding of God and a diminishing of God the Father in its December, 2021 edition of Living Lutheran, the official magazine of the ELCA. In an article entitled "A Gift of Ministry: Embracing mom–pastors and a mothering God" the magazine quotes from ELCA Pastor LeeAnn Pomrenke's book "Embodied: Clergy Women and the Solidarity of a Mothering God". She writes "When I began recognizing the mothering behavior of God in my own experience, it made me feel less alone...We have fallen into a rut in referring to God mostly as "Father" in the church..."

One must ask: Was Jesus in a rut when He taught us to refer to God as Father? Never once did Jesus refer to God as "Mother."

Are we in a rut praying regularly "Our Father", the prayer our Lord taught us to pray? Do the people running the ELCA know more about God language than Jesus Christ?

Another article in Living Lutheran written by Karoline Lewis, preaching professor at Luther Seminary, talks about God revealing "God's self". It is normal to talk about God revealing "Himself," but that is too patriarchal so now a new phrase has been invented. Living Lutheran magazine regularly eliminates masculine pronouns for God, using "God...God...God.." instead of "God...He...etc."

This de-sexing of God language has been going on for a long time in the ELCA, the Presbyterian Church USA, the Episcopal Church, the United Methodist Church, and the United Church of Christ, but at its last national assembly the ELCA voted to officially declare itself in favor of more "expansive and inclusive" language for God.

The liberal mainline Protestant denominations are shrinking, and they should. Any denomination which is embarrassed by 'Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" language and desires to "expand" beyond it does not deserve to exist.

Sincerely in Christ,

Pastor Tom Brock

What Is ELCA Bishop Bill Tesch Saying?

12/28/2020

3 Comments

 
Rev. Bill Tesch was elected bishop of the Northwestern Minnesota Synod, ELCA in 2019.

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America members and pastors voted for Bill Tesch to be their bishop.

We should ask, who did they choose to lead them? What  does he believe and support?  Does his position align with God's Word?

Lets take a look at some of his social media posts.

​Bill Tesch is excited, as you can read in the below post about Kevin L. Strickland, an openly homosexual man (married to a man), becoming bishop of Southeastern Synod, ELCA.

Below Rev. Bill Tesch writes about NOT being elected as bishop of the ELCA's South Dakota Synod saying "
I had thought I might be called, but the Holy Spirit, in her typically messy way, has revealed that I am not."

The ELCA Drag Queen Storytime Queer Christmas Celebration

12/22/2020

2 Comments

 
ELCA church Dreams and Visions and their hyped ELCA pastor Emily Scott is hosting "A Drag Queen Storytime Queer Christmas Celebration."  

Living off the dime of a century's worth of Biblical Lutherans, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has turned it's back on God, God's Word and its foundation, and become an institution that mocks God and harms souls.  

If you haven't left the ELCA you have some explaining to do.

A sign held by Cassie Hartnett read, "When Jesus Comes Back She'll Be Gay." 

Cassie Hartnett is a former vicar at an ELCA church in Maryland and she attended Union Theological Seminary.  

When ELCA leaders openly blaspheme Jesus it is time to leave and never set foot in an ELCA church again.

Getting rid of God the Father: “In the name of the Parent…”

12/14/2020

3 Comments

 
(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.)

Today I turned on TV and again saw a worship service from St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi, Minnesota. In a previous post (October 4) I criticized their program in which the preacher called Jesus’ response to the Syro-Phoenician woman “ugly” and wondered whether Jesus had made a mistake. That grieved me because years ago this congregation was known for being more biblical and evangelical than many in the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. But St. Andrew’s has chosen to stay in the ELCA and it shows.

On the program today the pastor gave the closing benediction and she said “In the name of the Parent, and of Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit”. Did you notice? She got rid of God the Father and replaced Him with “the Parent”. Why? The ELCA at its last convention committed itself to using more “expansive and inclusive” language for God. This means avoiding masculine images for God and coming up with new images which feminists find less oppressive and patriarchal. So now some ELCA congregations worship “God the Parent.”

I live across the street from a liberal United Methodist church and visited one Sunday. The pastor baptized the child “In the name of the One who makes all things, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” I talked about this with a Catholic priest who said “I’d rebaptize the child.” I think I would too. Jesus taught us to baptize “In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:10) and we have no right to play around with that.

This “de-sexing” of God language has gone on for many years in liberal denominations like the ELCA, Presbyterian Church USA, the United Methodist Church, the United Church of Christ, and the Episcopal Church. Back in 2006 the ELCA came out with its current hymnal in which all of the Psalms were de-sexed to get rid of masculine references for God. Some complained, saying we would stick with the Biblical language for God, but they lost.

I pray that you attend a good, biblical church which unashamedly worships God the Father.

In Jesus our Savior,
Pastor Tom Brock

As Advent Begins, Liberal Denominations Stress Dismantling Racism and White Supremacy

12/7/2020

5 Comments

 
(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.)

Certainly Christians should oppose racism and white supremacy, but that is not the message of Advent. The word "Advent" means "coming" in Latin and refers to the four weeks prior to Christmas when Christians think about Christ's Second Coming at the end of time when he will raise the dead and judge the world. It is a time of self-examination and repentance from sin so that we may properly celebrate Christmas when it arrives.

But in the Advent message below, liberal denominations have turned Advent into a time to fight racism. In the "Advent" message below, you will find no zeal for the salvation of the lost and bringing people to Christ before the 2nd Coming. The head bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has stated that she believes Hell, if it exists, is empty. You will also find no mention of repenting from the sexual sins of our culture like pornography, pre-marital sex, abortion and homosexuality because these denominations endorse abortion rights and homosexual relationships.

You will also notice below, they don't talk about the "kIngdom" of God but the "kin-dom" of God. Feminism is big in the below denominations and some think the word "kingdom" is too male and oppressive so they have invented a new word. This contradicts the fact that Jesus repeatedly preached about the Kingdom of God.
​
As we are now in the season of Advent, let us repent of racism, but let us also repent of our lukewarmness in bringing lost people to saving faith in Christ. And, yes, lost people do need to come to Christ to be saved.

In Jesus the only Savior (John 14:6),

Pastor
Tom Brock

ELCA Bias Shows, Calls on All People of Faith to Recognize Biden as President-Elect Despite Serious Voter Fraud Allegations

11/20/2020

4 Comments

 
Picture
Showing no concern over the claims of mass voter fraud which, if true, would completely undermine our country and our freedom, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has joined with other radical progressive "Christian" organizations saying "We invite all people of faith to recognize the outcome...the outcome of this election. Joe Biden has been announced as the President-elect.  Attempts to delay the peaceful transition of leadership risk endangering our democracy in critical ways." (See video below)

Would the ELCA, under the same circumstance, delivered this same message if Pres. Trump had won? 

If allegations are true, the election was rigged and a usurper and his party have illegally taken control of the United States. The claims needs to be taken seriously and adjudicated.  

​But the radical leftists who control the ELCA, from their pastors, to synod leaders, to ELCA churchwide leadership, and all the entities under their banner, want to ignore it all and want us to honor "the outcome of the election."


See the video and transcript below.  


"As people of faith we cherish a democracy
that guarantees freedom of speech
freedom of worship, and a vote for every citizen.
...and a vote for every citizen.
Throughout a contentious and divisive political
battle, communities and congregations and
families have struggled to maintain respect
and love for each other.
It is time we do the hard work of repairing the damage
...repairing the damage in relationships
we value and cherish,
and upon which all democracies rely.
As President Lincoln wrote,
“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
We invite all people of faith to recognize
the outcome
...the outcome of this election.
Joe Biden has been announced as the
President-elect.
Attempts to delay the peaceful transition of
leadership risk endangering our democracy
in critical ways.
We are all proud of our place in this democracy.
We owe it to our country to unify -
if not in celebration of the announced winner
– at least in the belief that the common
good is served
by honoring the outcome
...by honoring the outcome of the election."

Radical ELCA pastor: Vagina sculpture for Gloria Steinem, "queerness is beauty", and now prayers to "Our Father, Our Mother, Our holy Parent"

11/17/2020

1 Comment

 
(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.)

Perhaps you've heard about Nadia Bolz–Weber, the popular pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. She is the one who gave abortion rights activist Gloria Steinem a statue of a vagina to thank Steinem for her life's work. She was also the speaker at the ELCA's teen assembly who led 31,000 ELCA teenagers to repeat after her "I renounce the lie that queerness is anything other than beauty." Bolz-Weber also denies that Jesus died in our place for our sins, claiming that would be divine child abuse on the part of God the Father.

And now she has a meditation doing what has become typical in feminist circles of the ELCA, "expanding" the language for God. Bolz-weber writes:

"Our Father, Our Mother, Our Holy Parent, The Source of All Being from whom we came and to whom we return, You who knows us better than we know ourselves. Jesus called you Abba and so shall we, even as we may have an ambiguous relationship with parenthood - Be to us our Holy Parent, the one who loves without condition." (See here)

Jesus taught us to pray to "Our Father", never once did He say to pray to "Our Mother." It is arrogant to think that we have the right to "expand" upon the language Jesus gave us for God, as if we know better than the Son of God.

The ELCA's hymnal has also revamped God language. It contains a hymn entitled "Mothering God, you gave me birth". The ELCA hymnal has also de-sexed all the Psalms to get rid of masculine pronouns for God.

Such rewriting of Scripture and the ELCA's "expanding" beyond the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is one more reason people should leave the ELCA and join a more biblical denomination.

Sincerely in Christ,

Pastor Tom Brock

Is Carthage College the Right School For You?

11/9/2020

2 Comments

 
Just because a college is associated with a Christian denomination doesn't mean the school will abide by Biblical teaching or be a Godly learning environment for students. Carthage College, located in Kenosha, WI., is a school of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), which is very liberal mainline denomination. Read the following and ask yourself if you want Carthage College educating and disciplining your child. 

​Carthage College:
​
Homosexuality
 
-  Carthage College has a LGBT group. “The LGBT Student Association is a student-run group that is focused on educational events, social gatherings, and advocacy surrounding LGBTQIA+ issues.” (See here)

-  Carthage College has “SafeZones” for LGBTQ people. (See here) As you can see below, ELCA campus pastor is a LGBTQ SafeZone representative.  (See here)
Picture

-  A showing of Moonlight, a film about a homosexual man, took place at Carthage College and was sponsored by Carthage Activities Board, Advocates for Social Change, Black Student Union, and LGBT-SA. (See here)

-  A Coffee and Conversation gathering about the homosexual based National Coming Out Day was held at Carthage College and hosted by Multicultural Affairs. (See here)
 
-  No Hate Week took place at Carthage College. Events included an LGBT speaker, a LGBTQ and Ally Student Panel, “the acknowledgment of the rainbow-painted Kissing Rock…(and) the day of silence, where participators will remain silent to acknowledge the many silenced voices of those who have fought for equality and those who cannot speak up for themselves.” (See here) 
 
-  A recipient of the Lambda Pioneer Award for contributions to the LGBT literary community spoke at Carthage College. (See here)

​Transgender and Gender

-  The Carthage College library has a big selection of gender study books and over to the right you can see some of their new selections.
 
-  Two years ago, Cathage College posted a letter titled “An Open Letter to the Carthage Transgender Community” which was written by the Assistant Director of Student Involvement for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Programs. Part of the letter said, ‘I will do whatever I can to ensure your well being, your safety, and to affirm your existence, your experience, and your identity on this campus.” (See here)
 
-  The Carthage College website tells us Carthage College welcomes transgender student athletes to their teams. (See here)

​
Picture
​Other Religions
 
-  Carthage College has both a Muslim Student Association and a Pagan Forum which you can see listed here.
 
-  In 2016 we see that there was an Annual Hijab Day observed at Carthage College where students were encouraged to wear red scarfs over their head. (See here)
 
-  Carthage College writes, “You may be thinking, ‘Wait a minute, this is a college rooted in the Lutheran tradition, right? Why would you encourage other faith traditions?’

We do this because we are a college rooted in the Lutheran tradition. Lutherans believe we are saved by grace through faith, and that this grace gives us the freedom we need to love and serve the world — the whole world, not just the Lutheran world.”
​
Picture

​-  Interfaith leader and Muslim, Eboo Patel spoke at Carthage College. (See 
here)

-  A Celebration of Holi, the Hindu festival of colors, took place at Carthage College. (See here and here)  

-  James Lochtefeld, Chair and Religion Department Professor of Religion and Asian Studies “specializes in Hindu pilgrimage.” (See here) 



​Drag Show
 
-  In 2018, the second annual Heels For Hope Drag Show was held at Carthage College. (See here)  
 

Inclusive Language

​-  Carthage College has a “Glossary of Working Language for Conversation” page. On this page we learn:
​
“Carthage College believes that we are to nurture an enlightened and inclusive college community that inspires meaningful contributions towards a better world. It is to that end we promote a working language that frames our understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion within the context of deepening equity and access, institutional receptivity, diversity in the curriculum, and student/adult learning development to promote equitable student outcomes.”
 

Carthage College then gives a set of words with definitions that frames "our understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion." Included are such words as Adultism, Allyship, Cis, Cisgenderism, Gender identity, Gender neutral pronoun, Heteronormativity, Homophobia, Intersectionality, LGBTTQQIA, Marginalize, Microaggression, Queer, Questioning, Safe space, White guilt, White privilege, Whiteness, Xenophobia, etc.  (See here) 
​
Politics/Anti-Trump

-  Carthage College professor Mimi Yang writes about Trump, the boarder wall and bigotry. (See here) 

-  A similar article by the same Carthage College professor can be seen here. 


-  Carthage College President writes of his support for the DACA program. (See here) 

-  A Carthage College professor, Stephanie Mitchell, commented on her pastor allegedly being arrested by ICE saying, “She’s my pastor and my government kidnapped her..." (See here) 


​Campus Pastor at Carthage College

-  ELCA Rev. Kara Baylor is the Carthage College Campus Pastor. Here is a one of her Facebook posts showing LGBT support/pride.

Anti Christian Zionist Speaker

​-  Controversial speaker, Bishop Dr. Munib Younan, Bishop Emeritus of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land, spoke last year at Carthage College. (See here) Read a little about him and some of the controversial things he has said here.


"It’s all about U-terus!" presentation

-  In 2016 Carthage College had a presentation titled “It’s all about U-terus! Come learn about your lady parts!” (See here) 
​

Art Exhibit

-  Disturbing art exhibit at Carthage College. (See here) 



As you can see with Carthage College, one should not trust that a school is right for you or your teenager just because they are affiliated with a supposed Christian denomination. 

One last thing. Check out these ratings of Carthage College. (See here)

“Radical, radical, radical” election prayer from ELCA bishop

11/3/2020

4 Comments

 
(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.)

Below is a video by a bishop of the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on the eve of the election. It is a strange prayer, saying “we pray for those who want the false peace of letting things be as they have been to join in the dance of the Spirit where new things are possible...your word...dances forever...” “Radical welcome” has become a buzz phrase for acceptance of the LGBT agenda and the bishop prays for “Christ’s radical love, radical welcome, radical blessing, radical forgiveness, radical peace, radical grace and radical wholeness to all.”

What America needs is radical repentance from sin, including the sins of abortion and homosexuality. But the ELCA pays for abortion for any reason in its healthcare which is paid for by offering dollars, and the ELCA ordains practicing homosexual and transgender pastors. So don’t expect an ELCA bishop to preach on America’s need for radical repentance of these sins because, sadly, many ELCA leaders do not believe these are sins at all.

In Jesus our Savior,

Pastor Tom Brock

ELCA Pastor Defends Using Offering Dollars to Pay for Abortion

11/2/2020

2 Comments

 
(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.)

I am on a Facebook page with present and former pastors and seminarians of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. I left that denomination years ago because it pays for abortion for any reason in its healthcare plan for pastors and their families, and the healthcare plan is paid for with offering dollars. I shared on the Facebook page that years ago I received a letter from an ELCA person, I believe a pastor’s wife, who was so glad the ELCA “was there” to pay for her 16-year-old daughter’s abortion. I said “Your offering dollars at work.”

An ELCA pastor from Iowa responded: "Tom... who makes you judge and jury over this little girl?? From what I gather of Jesus he tells us to "Judge not, lest we be judged.” Just saying... Instead of reacting with condemnation over this 16 year old's abortion, why not react with compassion? Do you know what she was facing? Did you understand the circumstances of her life? Personally I am grateful for an insurance company who stays out of these kinds of decisions and fulfills their obligations, paying for the procedure. Its hard enough as it is. To compound that with the judgement of your insurance company would be even worse."

My response to this pastor: It is tragic to me that a pastor thinks it is OK to destroy an unborn child with the offering dollars of the people of God. It is not “compassion” to affirm abortion, neither for the mother nor the child.

If you are still in the ELCA, are you aware that your offering dollars can be used to pay for abortion, for any reason, in the ELCA healthcare plan?

One more reason to take your money, time and talents and join a more Biblical denomination.

Sincerely in Christ,

Pastor Tom Brock
pastorsstudy.org



Update: 

We pick up here with his next response to me:
"Tom, what is tragic is how many people who claim to be pro-life really don't care about the woman at all. You obviously don't. Nor would I imagine you would help this young woman or any raise their children.  Stop judging and assuming YOU or anyone else knows the circumstances of their decision."

My response:  
"You claim many pro-life people (and I) don't care about the woman at all. But it isn't the pro-choice people who run crisis pregnancy centers and help women before and after childbirth to care for the newborn. It is more accurate to say that pro-choice people don't care about the woman and child. They prefer the "quick and easy" solution of killing the unborn baby. Using offering dollars to kill unborn children is about as low as the ELCA has stooped--with the possible exception of putting an 11-year-old boy who thinks he is a girl on stage to promote transgenderism to 31,000 teenagers at last summer's ELCA Youth Assembly."

Please say a prayer for this ELCA Lutheran pastor, and for his congregation.

In Christ,

Pastor Tom Brock

ELCA Assistant to the Bishop posts: Instead of calling the police, do this...

10/26/2020

(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.)

The Assistant to the Bishop of the Southwest California Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America appears to be pretty radical. She is a partnered lesbian and used to work for Extraordinary Ministries, the LGBT group fighting for the their cause in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (they won). She has posted the below that she says "were posted throughout my neighborhood. Very important points." The first one says to "ask yourself if anyone is being hurt or endangered by property "theft" or damage."

"Theft" is in parentheses. So much for "Thou shalt not steal."

In Jesus our Savior,
