PonderingGod

The first reference to sound in the Bible is the "Sound" of the Lord walking in the cool of the Garden. This should have been an encouraging sound, but it was not - Sin and it's guilt made it into a fearful sound.

What sounds encourage you?

Today Pastor Craig and his faithful sidekick Robert examine what has created quite a buzz, in the world of Lutheranism, and thinking Christians everywhere. The Sparkle Creed. A recording of this creed written in 2021 and used in a ELCA Church in Edina in 2023, is all over the internet. It caught our attention and we just can't let this one go by.

This creed is one more example of the woke church gone mad.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 (ESV) 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

We are seeing these words of warning to the young pastor Timothy come true as they have over and over and over in the church.

We invite you to pray for those who are so deceived by satan and the untruths of this world that the Lord of the Church - Jesus the Christ would call them back to the truth.
