(The following article was written last year by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.) In 2009, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America voted to ordain practicing homosexuals, thus violating Scripture and causing the largest church split in American history. Countless people have left this denomination, along with their offerings, and the denomination continues to decline.
God Himself and His Word are opposed to what the ELCA is doing. The ELCA churchwide assembly even voted down a delegate-by 97%- who tried to affirm that Jesus is the only way of salvation (John 14:6).
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man shows that also he shall reap” (Galatians 6:7). In Jesus our Savior, Pastor Tom Brock https://www.livinglutheran.org/2019/08/perspective-scraped-floors-open-doors/

The ELCA never gets its adjectives right (or its nouns, verbs, and -- especially -- pronouns, for that matter). Converting the ELCAspeak into truth: "Our decision to ordain practicing homosexuals was a moment of cheap grace."

I’m not a Lutheran, but I have plenty of in-laws that are. But I did leave a very large, corrupt mainline denomination years ago. You leave behind your family heritage to some degree and it can be very difficult. But it is the most freeing experience of your life as you reject a bureaucratic organization full of dogmas and establish a direct relationship with Jesus Christ. Once you leave that dysfunctional binding relationship behind, you see the world much more clearly.
