Video showing that the United Methodist Church has gone fully-woke. Full fledged "garbage!
I hope more get out or leave the main bunch

Link didn’t work for me?
methodists have become - The church of latter-day sodomites.
Sorry, click on YouTube at the top then.
Ok that link in Post 6 worked. Thank you.
The 2030’s will be like an extinction event for the UMC. 60% to 80% of their churches will close as members die off.
I’m still a United Methodist, but my church has gone blue. Many of my conservative friends are in the Calvary Chapel, and I may eventually move there, even though I hate their “praise” music and disagree with them on some theological issues.
Agreed. If not sooner. IMHO, it's uncomfortable, but a necessary house cleaning that we're seeing with churches that had adopted the leftist cult teachings. They've all either hemorrhaged membership, and/or kicked out the leftist leaders, and/or local churches have left the larger denomination.
We could be living in the early stages of the next great awakening. If you look at prior great awakenings, they tend to start off in situations like our current one, where good minded Christians take on a "We've had enough!" mindset of worldly people having their way in church and politics.
I suggest a small community Church.
I left the meth and now attend Church in a former pizza shop.
I have only attended 18 months and have already witnessed a miracle in this little congregation.
40 years in the UMC and I never witnessed one in that big old Church.
Look for a Global Methodist Church in your area.
Most of them around me in conservative Texas are dying on the vine. Notably, I remember one UMC in my neighborhood putting up a notice on their marquee sign of their last service, the day that the same-sex Obergefell decision was released, ironically.
My Methodist Church left the United Methodist Church. It is not affiliated with United Methodist. Removed United from its title.
Old and New Apostates
But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the LORD, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Likewise, also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries. Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The LORD rebuke you!” But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.
Apostates Depraved and Doomed
These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
Apostates Predicted
These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage. But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our LORD JESUS CHRIST: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.
Maintain Your Life with God
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the HOLY SPIRIT, keep yourselves in the love of GPD, looking for the mercy of our LORD JESUS CHRIST unto eternal life. And on some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
Glory to GOD
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To GOD our SAVIOR, Who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.

Father? That blows it out right there. Offensive to transpeople.
You may want to consider the Church established and led by Jesus and the Holy Spirit for our salvation with the Sacraments. We are not perfect and we are sinners on the path to becoming holy, the Church as the Body of Christ that has the fullness of God’s revealed Truths.
We have the sacrament of the Eucharist with the Real Presence of Christ Body and Blood so that Jesus can “abides in me and I in him.” John 6: 56
Many of the churches established by man may provide some understanding of God’s Truth, but often follows the worldly beliefs that Jesus advised us not to follow. John 15:18
That is true.
Jesus left us a community of believers, a Church, to spread His good news and as the inauguration of the Kingdom of Heaven
The day after the UMC voted to go gay last summer, the methodist church next to my house was painting over the United part of their sign. It took several months, but they finally got a new sign. It made me laugh everytime I saw that sign with a big black patch over the united part. I have nothing to do with methodist, but are so proud of them. I LOVE my town. Every candidate, even for dof catcher puts pro gun, pro life, pro trump in their candidate brochures as if being pro Trump has anything to do with fixing the roads, but I love the sentiment
No, thanks, I’ll pass on a church led by a socialist, pro-lgbt loving, anti-American Pope.
