(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.) Saint Paul Reformation Lutheran Church in St Paul, Minnesota, has long been a leader in promoting all things LGBT in the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. Years ago when homosexuality was still a sin and I was still a pastor in the ELCA, I used to do battle with their pastor (now deceased) at the microphone at conventions. But this congregation eventually won, and now the ELCA ordains practicing homosexual and transgender pastors.
Below you will see their church bulletin inviting you to a gay pride brunch. You will also see the sticker they handed out at their table at a gay pride event, claiming that people who hold to the Bible’s teaching on homosexuality are “a—holes.” I’ll say it again, this ain’t my grandma’s Lutheran church. Neither St. Paul nor Martin Luther would have anything to do with St. Paul Reformation Lutheran Church. Sincerely in Christ, Pastor Tom Brock PS. The sticker says “God made you just the way you are”. Does that mean if I have a proclivity toward promiscuity, hatred, thievery, etc. that I can practice that too? The Bible teaches the doctrine of Original Sin, that we are all born sinners because of Adam’s trespass (Romans 5). That does not give us a license to sin. So, no, I cannot blame God for my sin.

1. The Apostle Peter knew it: debauchery loves company, and those Christians who refuse to endorse and participate in the world's trendy sins will be slandered, both by the world and by any church that has sold out to the world.

If I remember right, this is the home church of the very woke & delusional Tim Walz. If not, they are carbon copies.
