Sad to say, the Methodist Church is no longer the church it was when our family started attending back in 1946.
Today they may not even be a church, except in name only. And they may not even be Methodist either.
My mother and Dad professed salvation in Christ there in 1947, as did my younger brother and sister.
It was just a small country church that had no teaching text, just a Bible.
Even before I was 14, I could see it changing as a new young Seminary student and his fiance come to minister, and begin to teach different messages, such as dancing was OK, and going to movies was OK. And all went the social gospel after that.
