But after the last merger in 88, the ELCA went way over the cliff and I knew I couldn't tolerate it.
The LCMS church we are in now has been the biggest blessing of my life and I'm not kidding. I've probably gotten more "meat" since we changed to the LCMS than I had gotten all the years prior. Part of it was my own fault but the ELCA now is incapable of giving anyone the true Word of God.
It looks to me like a lot of people (and churches) are patiently waiting to see how things "shake out" over the coming months. Some of my friends are contemplating visiting us over at our LCMS church while other friends are waiting expectantly for the NALC mission that almost certainly will start up in the area. It's good to take the time to pray and listen for God's leading. He has just the right place for each of us.
