The fullness of Your grace is here with me The richness of Your beautys all I see The brightness of Your glory has arrived In Your presence God, Im completely satisfied For You I sing I dance Rejoice in this divine romance Lift my heart and my hands To show my love, to show my love A deep deep flood, An Ocean flows from You Of deep deep love, Yeah its filling up the room Your innocent blood, Has washed my guilty life In Your presence God Im completely satisfied For You I sing I dance Rejoice in this divine romance Lift my heart and my hands To show my love, to show my love Divine Romance -- Phil Wickham
Kicked out of the convention center, Lutheran pastor sets up shop outside as delegates are entering. This is a protest against the passage of all 4 sexuality statements by the ELCA. What business does the church have, in the first place, voting on God's word? This is no longer the church. It is an apostate harlot sent from the pit of hell. Every preacher worth his dime must publicly oppose this abomination, lest he face the wrath of almighty God. Listen to the warning and rebuke of Psalms 7, 26, and 29 being proclaimed to the deaf delegates. God has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn -- and I would heal them. -John 12:40
