I’m encouraged to read that donations are down from 88 million to 40 million in just four years. That says that the queers’ allies don’t have all the money. Unfortunately, the schism leaves the queers’ denomination with all the land, buildings, and educational systems. I’m not sure abandoning the dysfunctional parent body is the way to go; I think if all the orthodox Lutherans (well...) out-hustled the queers, they could still take back their churches.

I know a lot of Christians have the attitude that it isn’t worthy to fight over material things, but I hate to see Satan get all the colleges, meetingspaces, etc. We are told to be cunning like wolves. Christianity tried going underground and focusing on purely the spiritual world once. The result was that ancient Christendom is ruled by Muslims.

I hate to see it happening, too, especially among Lutherans.

Be honest, though, can groups that began by stealing the property of the Catholic Church they revolted against expect to not be hoist on their on petard sooner or later?

Pleasing the nobility, seizing Church property, and catering to popular sentiment with promises of cheap Grace, is how the whole Protestant revolt began and that's what's happening again.

Pray that our faithful separated brethren who are fleeing these secular humanist scum behind. Pray not only that they remain faithful and grow in Christ rather than becoming discouraged, but also that they recognize how they've been kept focused on fighting fellow Christians while the secular humanists were quietly taking over their churches.
