I had to leave the ELCA but it took time and education (enter faithful, confessional programming from Issues, ETC. and Fighting for the Faith) to convince me I needed to belong to a liturgical, confessional Lutheran church. I could no longer stomach the ELCA's blatant disregard of both Scripture and the Confessions. I thank God for bringing me to repentance where I looked over the apostasy and for bringing me to a confessional,liturgical LCMS church where the Word is preached and the Sacraments are given. Praise God and thank him for KFUO, Issues Etc. and for every Confessional Lutheran Pastor who remains faithful. It matters. Eternally!
