A friend of ours has an ELCA Pastor as a brother-in-law who was in attendance at the National ELCA meeting where this vote took place. He relayed to our friend, who shared with us, that during the vote a tornado popped up out of nowhere. The roof of the hotel where the vote was taking place was damaged and the steeple on the church across the street that was serving food to the visiting members was toppled enough that the cross hung upside down.
If that's not enough to make the hair on your arms stand up here's one more tidbit he shared with my friend. The 2/3 majority vote needed to pass this resolution was 666.
If this is true, and I wasn't there to experience it first hand but believe it to be true because it came from a most reliable source in my book, then it is clear to me that God made his presence and position known. If an upside down cross and the numbers 666 are associated with Satan, then I think God made it know whom this resolution was serving, and it wasn't Him.
How prideful of us to think that God's Word can be changed to meet the times. We are putting ourselves above God in thinking this way, and that never turns out good for us as history clearly shows.
Lord, Forgive our arrogance and our ignorance. Humble us as a Church and show us your Truth in all these areas that are under debate and trying to divide your bride. Don't take your lamp stand away from us but rather discipline us and bring us back to your Truth so that we may be an effective representative of your Son, Jesus Christ to the world. Amen!
