This is why you don’t allow women ministers. They put their “feelings” before the plain requirements that Scripture proscribes: pastors should be the husband of one wife, a good father with respectful children etc. When a church ignores God’s Word and lets the wicked world tell it what is acceptable, God’s blessing is forfeited and Satan rules. It never fails to turn out that way.
At this point the UMC is beyond saving. My local UMC remains apolitical. Should that change I will find another Church home. I make sure my donations are specifically earmarked to local charitable church activities and not to the general fund. I cannot support UMC Global Ministries liberal agenda.
That’s cutting it real close to the cob and right on the mark. I post that quite often in these threads so I’m glad to see another FReeper of similar mind.
