The New World of ELCA Homosexual Pastors with "Spouses"

The New World of ELCA Homosexual Pastors with 'Spouses'

10/28/2019

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

Some years ago a family visited my church because their Lutheran congregation was allowing a practicing lesbian to teach their daughter Sunday School. That was before the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's 2009 decision to ordain active homosexual persons. I drove by that church in a Minneapolis suburb a few days ago and wondered "How liberal is that church today?" I looked at the church's website to discover now one of the pastors is a lesbian with a "wife". And who is that "wife"? She is a pastor serving another ELCA church in the St. Paul area. I have noticed this before, that when one homosexual pastor is serving a church, their "spouse" might also be serving an ELCA-- or perhaps a United Church of Christ-- congregation.

This is what happens when we give up the authority of Scriptures. Anything goes, God is mocked, and the congregations tend to shrink. The ELCA has been shrinking since it was founded in 1988, but the shrinkage has increased greatly since 2009.

In Jesus our Savior,

Pastor Tom Brock

Pray for the poor lambs in these many ELCA churches who are defrauded and deceived by wolves in shepherd's clothing. Pray that the Lord of the Church will save and deliver His children (and their offerings, which are rightfully His) out of the ELCA in all of its ungodly and apostate manifestations: churches, colleges, seminaries, and church offices where they're employed.

Martin Luther — Sermon for Christmas Day; Luke 2:1-14

54. Here then we have these two, the faith and the Gospel, that these and nothing else are to be preached throughout Christendom. Let us now see who are to be the preachers and who the learners. The preachers are to be angels, that is, God's messengers, who are to lead a heavenly life, are to be constantly engaged with God's Word that they under no circumstances preach the doctrine of men. It is a most incongruous thing to be God's messenger and not to further God's message. Angelus means a messenger, and Luke calls him God's messenger (Angelus Domini). The message also is of more importance than the messenger's life. If he leads a wicked life he only injures himself, but if he brings a false message in the place of God's message, he leads astray and injures every one that hears him, and causes idolatry among the people in that they accept lies for the truth, honor men instead of God, and pray to the devil instead of to God.

55. There is no more terrible plague, misfortune or cause for distress upon earth than a preacher who does not preach God's Word; of whom, alas, the world today is full; and yet they think they are pious and do good when indeed their whole work is nothing but murdering souls, blaspheming God and setting up idolatry, so that it would be much better for them if they were robbers, murderers, and the worst scoundrels, for then they would know that they are doing wickedly. But now they go along under spiritual names and show,. . . and are at the same time ravening wolves in sheeps' clothing, and it would be well if no one ever heard their preaching.

It never ends does it Tom. I have been helping out a church in Louisiana (I am retired) and we had a bible study about the main differences between LCMS and ELCA - and the information was before all the gay stuff. So - I gave them your FB site - "Exposing the ELCA". This lady was from the ELCA and didn't believe anything I said. Then she said she was in the ELCA in the late '60's and '70's. So she looked up your FB site - and now thanks me. Keep up the good work. Carl Noble, Pastor Emeritus, LCMS, KA0IBF!

Hi Carl. Pastor Brock lets us republish his articles and has been speaking out on the problems with the ELCA for a long time. Thank you for being a witness to the Truth of God's Word!
