Ranting

So it seems the best way to get stuff off my mind is to rant about them. My family is tired of hearing them so I might as well put them on here. So I have been reading about how the Episcopal Church USA are marrying same-sex couples in Cali. I just don't understand how the people in this Christian Church do not see the wrong doing happening. Throughout the Bible it shows that YHWH (the LORD) made man for women and women for man. Not man for man and women for women. Marriage is described between a man and a women. It just breaks my heart that the Christian faith is suffering what Christ did not intend. Division. As you may tell I stand on the solid rock of the Word of God. In the words of Martin Luther, "Here I stand."

Now, don't get me wrong, I love the Episcopal Church. In fact I attend one down in Ann Arbor when in school. It's not my preferred choice but it's where I can be fed with the Eucharist. In Ann Arbor all the ELCA churches are showing "gay friendly." The problem besides that is I consider myself more "high church." So I figure if I have to go to a liberal church I might as well go to one that is "high church."

Sometimes I just think it'd be easier to become Catholic because then the Pope would tell us was was right and wrong. As of now I am quite concerned at where I will be in the next year after the Church-Wide Gathering. I will make my decision on their decision about same-sex relationships. If they go the Liberal route, I'll see if there is a split which I can forsee or if their isn't then I'll be transferring to an LCMS church. It depends where God is leading me. Right now my soul is heading to the LCMS synod.

I wish my faith was childlike again because when we were children we didn't have to worry about what was wrong and right, we believed and that was good enough. As for me I reflect back and remember that I thought all worship was Lutheran Style. I even used to stand up front when my mom was cleaning and started preaching right off the top of my head. I was only in the 2nd grade maybe younger. My pastor caught me and just let me be. That was my first realization that I was feeling a call into the Ministry of Word and Sacrament.
