Please pray: June 16-21 Gay pride Lutheran Bible camp for 14-year-olds

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

I have reported earlier on a South Dakota Bible camp of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America called Outlaw Ranch. I attended many years ago as a teenager and it was biblical. In a week it is holding an LBGT Pride Camp for 14-18 year olds.

The camp states: "We are all created in the image of God and believe that all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions reflect God’s creative identity." What? God Himself (or Herself or Itself or Theyself) is LGBT?

For pride week, the camp will revamp gendered bathrooms and cabins, use youth's "preferred pronouns", and help them be "their authentic selves". And if you are LGBT, you can opt out of Bible study. The camp states: "We recognize that church may not have been a welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ youth. With that in mind, we will offer our daily Bible study and worships, but it will not be required. Alternative activities will be provided. The goal of Outlaw’s Bible study is for our campers to understand that they are beautifully and wonderfully made and that God loves them no matter what."
May I ask you to stop and say a prayer right now, that God would somehow intervene for the sake of these teenagers and put an end to the deception that this "Bible" camp is promoting?

I can't help but think of the verse: "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fashioned around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea" (Matthew 18:6).

Sincerely in Christ,

Pastor Tom Brock

Of all the ELCA’s godless outrages, the most reprehensible is this: its denomination-wide war on children. Whether the wolves are brazen, profane libertines or pompous, unctuous snake oil peddlers, the ELCA predators advocate for and abet the murder of God’s preborn creations, and they work remorselessly to debauch His already-born little ones. “There is no fear of God before their eyes” . . . but one day, in this life or in eternity, there will be.

“It seems to me that every morning when a man wakes up still impenitent, and finds himself out of hell, the sunlight seems to say, ‘I shine on thee yet another day, as that in this day thou mayest repent.’ When your bed receives you at night, I think it seems to say, ‘I will give you another night’s rest, that you may live to turn from your sins and trust in Jesus.’ Every mouthful of bread that comes to the table says, ‘I have to support your body that still you may have space for repentance.’ Every time you open the Bible the pages say, ‘We speak with you that you may repent.’ Every time you hear a sermon, if it be such a sermon as God would have us preach, it pleads with you to turn unto the Lord and live.” (Charles Spurgeon)

‘Love is Love’: Does God Agree With That?

. . . The Bible teaches that God created a male and a female. When He looked at everything He created, He said, “It is very good” (Gen. 1:31). He made no mistakes. He gave no other options or alternatives. He created the female to join with the man in companionship and to continue creation. God designed a man for a union with a woman to replenish the earth with people who would love Him. He did not create another male for the man. He specifically handcrafted a woman to complement the anatomy of the male. Together, the reproductive system would function to continue God’s plan to have people that would enjoy the resources He provided.

There is no Biblical acceptance or promotion of same-sex relationships. There are only faulty interpretations and perceptions of what the scriptures say to support man’s lust and rebellion.

[ . . .]

When we want to please God, we don’t just run with every doctrine and wind of interpretation. When we want to return God’s love, we seek His face. We run to Him for guidance. We long to be in His presence and search His word for direction, healing and His leading. Our souls are too important to get this wrong. Eternity is too long to mess this up. God’s love never leaves us hanging. He will show us His plan and the magnitude of His greatness when we really want to seek Him. In essence, it is trusting that our Lord’s ways are higher than ours. It is knowing that His design for our lives is even better than the plans we could design for our own lives.

Pray and search the Scriptures. God never leaves us to confusion. He will show us the plan when we walk in His way and have a heart that wants to love Him.
