ELCA: Christian denomination or left wing of the Democratic Party?

4/27/2021

(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

Let the ELCA and the similarly withering branches of the Quisling Church do as they may.

". . .Some Catholics and other religious folk, including some entire denominations, have already taken the path of capitulation and acquiescence. They maintain the visible forms of faith while yielding its moral substance. They have made themselves the 'useful idiots' of neo-paganism (to borrow Stalin's famous characterization of the anti-anti-Communist liberals of his time). Obviously that is not an option for serious believers. So what do we do?
[ . . .]
"So the question and challenge we face is simply this: Can we muster the courage to be faithful, to boldly bear witness to truths that are unpopular among those controlling the levers of cultural, political, and economic power? Are we willing, if necessary, to pay the costs—the heavy costs—of discipleship?

"Of course, without God's help, nothing of this kind would be possible. Yet we have it on the authority of Christ himself that God's grace is superabundant. No one who asks for the courage to bear faithful witness will be denied it. No one who is prepared to take up his cross and follow Jesus will find the burden too great to bear.

"So, shall we flee from the battle? No. Quite the opposite. Onward, Christian soldiers."

It is clear that this denomination is a tool of the left. You hear the same left wing drivel here as you do on NPR or any of the multitude of leftist media outlets. They walk in unison and are part of the brainwashing plan. Unsuspecting sheeple sit there thinking “my church wouldn’t lie to me.” Think again. And don’t be surprised when the antifa and BLM brownshirts turn on this denomination and burn their churches down after they’ve outlived their usefulness.

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
