It is good news when these progressive churches see major declines in attendance and membership. It means that people are starting to wake up and realize that malevolent forces such as the state are overwhelming the institutional churches. These are the type of churches that will be used by the state to enable the submission of the public to the almighty state.
It’s not apostasy to reject an apostate church.
I agree with that grumpy. I think we've lost the UMC in the USA, because I have every reason to think the 'millennials' in the nation at large have swallowed progressivism and homosexualism hook, line, and sinker.
The UMC will fall in the USA.
But the millennial generation portends darkness for all denominations, including so-called independent churches.
