This Methodist pastor’s sermon yesterday had an intense, direct rebuke of our nation and the blood guilt it now is under because of abortion, and particularly partial birth abortion.
That’s because you are a Methodist in your heart, not a UMC.
At the last Annual Conference I attended as a Lay Delegate, my conservative UMC pastor (who would even dare to preach against divorce!) leaned over at one point and asked me, “can you feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in this place?”
I said, “to be honest, no.”
He said, “Me neither.”
I left the UMC shortly after we returned home. It was encouraging that pastors like you and him are sticking it out, but I don’t have to. Keep fighting the good fight!
" Rev. Karen Vannoy, then pastor of Travis Park United Methodist Church, on her support of abortion:
'I am willing to take whatever heat would be generated by my support of what I think is right and in God’s will.' "
She has forgotten the Will of Jesus, Messiah and Lord:
"Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God (Mk. 10:14 AV)."
I don't think that Jesus meant to rip them out of the womb so they could be sent on real early. Karen is the one that most surely will do the suffering for those very words that she has said.
