LCMS-WELS-ELS-ELCA: Your Thrivent Dollars at Work, Melting Down the "Lutherans" with Brimstone and Fire

Luther Seminary Preacher Compares Herself to Jeremiah, Says We Must Repent of Climate Catastrophe, Anti-Trans Laws, and Banning Books

 5 hours ago Staff Writer

"The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is one of the vilest denominations in America. Pro-homosexuality, pro-choice, and certainly anti-Jesus, it’s populated by spiritually decrepit senior citizens and virtue-twerking LGBTQ twenty-somethings. Less than 1% of the congregants in the denomination are saved, as you can only submit to a satanic pastor for so long without getting a little demonic yourself.

We’ve written about them before, in Lutheran Pastor Promotes Hookups, Polyamory, and Premarital Sex
, ELCA Leader in a Polyamorous/’Ethically Non-Monogamous’ Relationship, the time where After Annual Meeting, Lutheran Leadership+ Pastors Celebrate in Gay Bar, in Transgender Lutheran Pastrix Compares the Death of Trans Shooter to the Crucifixion of Jesus and lastly ELCA Church Recites Blasphemous ‘Sparkle Creed’ + ‘I believe in the non-binary God whose pronouns are plural’."

During Luther Seminary’s June 20 chapel service, preacher Anna Ferro, who works as a community fellow with the Student Affairs office while she awaits her first call, gave a message on Jeremiah 20: 1-6. In this reading, Pashur, the official in charge of the temple, hears Jeremiah prophesying doom and gloom and, beats him and throws him in jail, causing Jeremiah to tell him his new name is ‘Terror on Every Side.’

The Two Best Medicines Are Exercise and Food

Eat expensive processed food, ignore major muscles, and complain about the results?

Daily hospital trips - as driver - and fast food - mea maxima culpa! - gave me lots of reasons to repent. One vivid visual - another person - resulted in each leg artery clogged and both legs therefore infected.

We all complain about tired legs and aching feet, but exercise will reduce pain. Our circulation must push the blood upstairs - or else. The calf muscles are very good at that, but they need help through flexing, exercise, and lifting them up.

Don't laugh, but I stand at the kitchen window, looking out at the bird feeders and sing "Tip Toe Through the Tulips." Yes, I go up on my toes, and that pumps the gastrocnemius (calf) muscles.

Some make sure they walk a definite distance each day, and others use dreadmill walking machines and even magical, moving stairs.

Charlie Sue and I will do regular walks, now that it is cooler.

Medicare helps pay for gym fees, so I pay nothing for Planet Fitness. I use the resistance equipment regularly, after starting with the dreadmill. Like good food, good exercise makes us move from clinging to the unhealthy to craving the healthy.

Food Is the Best Medicine - 

Especially Food for the Poor

The farmers - like my parents - were always first to praise the food grown in gardens. They ordered us "spoiled rotten kids" to try everything, especially salad and vegetables. They had no choice on the farm, where they gladly ate from the vegetable garden and fruit trees.

The irony! Poverty in the Depression enforced the best nutrition for those with little cash. Today their food plan has become the least expensive at the grocery store, and also the most effective for good health. 

The less we do to food, the better it is for us, the better we feel. When someone offers a brand, new, super exciting, guaranteed to cure pill or food substance, backed by a real doctor - it is a ruse, fraud pure and simple.

Shockeroo - the food labels in the store are often as depressing as a Biden rally. The farmer's garden is downplayed and the photogenic combinations of salt, grease, and sugar are portrayed with loving devotion. Chopped frozen greens are shunned in favor of stacks of frozen pizza. 

Warning! - do not take home fresh fruits, fresh or frozen vegetables, nutritious seeds and nuts - they will ruin your taste for the super expensive, super salted, grease-sugar extravaganzas that drain our bank accounts and send us limping to the doctor.

Basics - 

1. Lots of fresh or frozen greens every day.
2. Four fruits a day (base) or six for the disgustingly healthy.
3. Some nuts (walnuts, almonds) and seeds (like flax, sesame) each day.
4. Some meat.

Daily Luther Sermon Quote - Trinity 18 - "Thus Christ desires to show us that we preach the law rightly, only when we learn from it that we are unable to fulfill it, and that we are the property of the devil."

 

Complete Sermon - Trinity 18 - The Two Greatest Commandments - Christ Is David's Son And David's Lord

22. Thus Christ desires to show us that we preach the law rightly, only when we learn from it that we are unable to fulfill it, and that we are the property of the devil. This we learn from experience, and it is shown now and then in the Scriptures, especially by St. Paul when he says in Romans 8:7-8: “Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be,” and it follows, that they who are in the flesh cannot please God.

23. Hence, take to thyself this commandment: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and think upon it, contemplate it, and search what kind of a law it is; how far you are from fulfilling it, yea, how you have not yet even made a beginning to suffer and to do from the heart what God demands of you. It is pure hypocrisy, if anyone wants to creep into a hiding-place and think: Oh I will love God. Oh, how I do love him, he is my Father! How gracious he is to me! and the like. Yes, when God does our pleasure, then we can easily say such things; but when he sends misfortune and adversity, we no longer regard him as our God, nor as our Father.

24. True love to God does not act in this way, but in the heart it thinks and with the lips says: Lord God, I am thy creature; do with me as thou wilt; it matters not to me. I am ever thine, that I know; and if thou desirest, I will die this very hour or suffer any great misfortune; I will cheerfully do so from my heart. I will not regard my life, honor and goods and all I have, higher and greater than thy will, which shall be my pleasure all my days.

But you will never find a person who will constantly regulate himself according to this commandment; for the whole life you are living in the body, in the five senses, and whatever you do in your body, should all be so regulated as to be done to the glory of God, according to the regulations of this commandment, which saith, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind.” As if Christ said: If you love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, then nothing will be lacking; you shall experience it in your daily life, namely: when everything you do, whether you wake or sleep, whether you labor or stand idle, whether you eat or drink, is directed and done out of love to God from the heart. In like manner your mind and thoughts will also be directed wholly and entirely to God, so that you will approve of nothing you are not certain is pleasing to God. Yea, where are those who do this?

WELS-LCMS: Chasing Andy Stanley, ELCA, or Both?

 

Andy Stanley Comes Clean About Supporting Homosexuality, Sort Of

"Andy Stanley came under fire earlier this year for his support of homosexuality which publicly dates back to 2012, yet that sermon did not attract the same level of notoriety as what he said behind closed doors. Nevertheless, Andy Stanley would continue to have a pro-sodomite conference at his church last month, which was brought up in his most recent sermon. In uncharacteristic fashion, Andy Stanley did not make public his most recent sermon, but audio obtained by Protestia has gone viral.

Andy Stanley begins by telling his audience that he has not changed his position on this, meaning he’s always been affirming of homosexuality.

Andy Stanley makes it clear that he teaches that same-sex attraction is not sinful. This is in direct violation of the Bible’s teachings on sinful desires.

Andy Stanley then denies that the Unconditional Conference was gay affirming. This is a lie, but Andy Stanley is clearly doing damage control as he mentions that people left his church because of this. He mentions two presenters at the conference, Brian and Justin who are homosexuals in a “marriage,” yet their faith is affirmed by Andy Stanley also. He then says that these two people have been regular speakers at his church for some time in an attempt to own discernment bloggers for not knowing this. Yet ironically, he proves the point that he’s gay affirming in trying to lie about it while at the same time affirming it."
