From the South Wisconsin District: Former South Wisconsin District President, the Rev. Dr. Edwin Suelflow, joined the Church Triumphant early this morning. We thank God for Rev. Dr. Suelflow’s clear confession and bold witness of Christ’s love throughout his life.

DRAG PERFORMANCE IN LUTHER SEMINARY’S CHAPEL

What absolute vile, disgusting paganism. If you haven’t already, any Christians left in the ELCA should flee from it like the Sodom it is…and certainly not have anything to do with Luther Seminary. https://www.exposingtheelca.com/exposed-blog/drag-performance-in-luther-seminarys-chapel

Cuba Eliminates Language About Same-Sex Marriage From Draft of New Constitution

It looks like this will only be a speed bump for the LGBTWhatever activists, but considering that Cubans have held this off longer than Americans it does lead one to wonder whether communism or advanced liberalism is more destructive to a people. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/world/americas/cuba-gay-marriage-constitution.html

VATICAN REFUSES TO OFFER ASYLUM TO ASIA BIBI

So let me get this straight–the pope wants westerners to allow innumerable "refugees" into their nations, but won’t help a persecuted Christian escape Mohammedans? Its days like this that the Treatise on the Power and the Primacy of the Pope seems far too mild. Please pray for this woman and her family. https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/vatican-refuses-to-offer-asylum-to-asia-bibi?
