thank you for the prayers I will pray for you as well. I have a grandfather and a son who went through seminary, son is currently a pastor at a large LCMS church and school. Concordia seminary did a good job preparing them. I’m sorry you had to abandon the Lutheran church - if you ever feel then need I’m sure you would be welcomed back. The important thing is to find a Biblically grounded place to worship while we await Cbrists return. I do not think It will be long
Once again I agree with you. You are so blessed to have family in the Gospel Ministry. I pray our Lord’s love and protection on you. The pressure on believing pastors these days seems to be almost off the charts.
My experience in the local ELCA church had the effect of drawing me closer to our Lord and Savior and a complete reliance and trust in the Bible. All I really care about is Christ and Him crucified. I know many people and I’m sure you do also who can recite verse after verse, passage after passage...but they don’t really believe it.
God’s grace...is amazing!
