There is a reason why people are leaving the UMC and other mainline churches in droves.Yes, I would actually call them non-believing churches rather than mainline. I was raised Methodist and finally got tired of arguing with the pastor at the church that I left 1 1/2 years ago. He was trying to convince people to NOT believe the Bible. Just believe the liberal line that he espouses...

I grew up in the UMC, but my family left it in the late 70's because it was getting bad then. I go to a Baptist church now. No church is perfect. But if a church does not believe that the Bible is the word of God and that Jesus is the Son of God, then it's time to find a church that does. Mainline churches are in trouble and its there own fault. What's the point of watering down the Christain message so it conforms to the ways of the world. I might as well stay home.
