At our UMC church ever since the recent vote to uphold traditional values and to not allow Gay wedding or ordain openly gay pastors all we get every other sermon is language from the pulpit that the new Traditional rules are derogatory, are not inclusive and loving, and our call to worship reading have words like “loving all genders “ or loving our numerous genders”. I’m tired of this crap. I take my kids to church because everywhere else it’s all about pushing the gay agenda and now we hear it from our pastor. Pastors like her need to go. They’re is always the Unitarian Church for her. She is not gay but pushes their agenda. She does this stuff even before kids are dismissed for junior church, which makes me think it’s them she’s speaking to. It like she doesn’t like the vote so instead speaks to the upcoming leadership, those that will carry her vision 10 years down the road. My dear is the USA UMC wants just that.....then they’ll have enough votes to have gay weddings down the road. Then she plays a video sermon today from the Bishop who speaks the same way. Good grief!!!!! If I stay in this church this is what I hear. If I leave then I help the church be more liberal percentage wise in their congregation. What’s the best choice with this matter??? Any thoughts. Maybe my comments here should just be a new post altogether.
Get out of there. Find a good Bible believing Bible teaching church.
Feel free to send me mail if you want any more advice.
Get the infidel out of the pulpit. Rebellion and perversity is what I am reading; not healthy spiritual food. Check out John 17:17.
We left the UMC and went to a true non-denom that doesn’t even ordain women. And women love the church. Any true UMC woman will know why they love it. The men have to run everything.
This is not a UMC thing. It’s a time for separating the sheep from the goats. Some UMC churches will do fine. I visit one periodically that can sit on their mountain, play bluegrass gospel and not ever have to deal with it.
Get top a fee standing fundamentalist Christian church that teaches from the Bible, the inerrant word of God.
Jesus teaches us that we are all sinners and we should love The sinner but not the sin.
