If you are in a United Methodist affiliated church you need to either fight to get your church to leave the UNC or find another church immediately.

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.

My Methodist Church left the United Methodist Church. It is not affiliated with United Methodist. Removed United from its title.

JUDE 1 Jude, a bondservant of JESUS CHRIST, and brother of James, to those who are called, [a]sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ: Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only LORD GOD and our LORD JESUS CHRIST.

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.

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

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

I had attended a church when I lived in Illinois that believed The Lord’s Prayer was only a template for praying to God. They believed that prayer should not be something we memorize and just repeat but should be thoughtful and heart felt communication with God.

My Dad passed away 45 years ago. I am glad he didn’t have to learn of this.

That’s why many have split and formed the Global Methodist Church.
