For the #gideon who said my #church members can no longer be Gideons because of the #UMC General Conference reference decisions: -I wasn't going to let you speak at my church anyways since Gideons don't support women in ministry So it works out. #Pastor

As powerful as this week at #UMCGC has been, #Sunday is going to hurt for many #UMC congregations. Some will never come back to your #church. Some will be angry. You will lose members and support. Prepare yourself. Pray. Know that doing the right thing is never easy. #LGBTQ

"Owning the libs" and "calling out conservatives" aren't the spiritual gifts you think they are. #church #pastor #politics

When you say goodbye to your previous appointment, remember that you MUST for the good of that congregation and success of the next pastor, draw clear boundaries. Don't go back to perform pastoral functions. Focus on your new #church. #UMC #Pastor

When the Bible = with Jesus, a very different religion emerges that is in stark contrast with the narrow way of Jesus. – at St. Catharines, Ontario

#GMC leaders need to head this off and fast. Some of us have been warning about it, but I'm seeing more of these posts and tweets. I've also had multiple messages recently, from different parts of the US, of similar stories. #Church #Preach #Gospel #UMC #Theology #Women

If you feel angry at the suggestion that gay people (or anyone else you consider “sinful”) being welcomed to God’s table, then you will absolutely HATE reading the Gospels. Lots of anger from the fundies on this one from @AndyStanley today:

Pastors who use their positions to engage in sexual contact with others should be removed and be directed to move on to another profession…and we should not apologize for it. It’s time for the Church to stop applying law to victims and grace to victimizers.

I named and claimed whole fat buttermilk at the Kroger in Jesus’ name and it didn’t work. What use is the prosperity gospel if it can’t even work for cornbread?

Those who want to burn down the Church because they have deconstructed their faith and find no value in the Sunday morning gathering have lost sight that for some the church gathered is a place of belonging and love. A reflection from @bradjersak’s Out of the Embers. – at St Joseph, MO

Bless his heart, and theirs.
A Russian soldier surrendered. Ukrainians gave him tea, food, and let him call his mother on video. I want to cry from how much I love my country.

Things are never as simple as they appear to angry eyes. Try to remember that next time you’re angry.
