Methodistica

May The United Methodist Church repent of its recent decisions that are both unfaithful to the love of Christ Jesus and are splitting the church. The UMC’s behaviour is sinful — no matter what one thinks of LGBTQIA. #umcrepent #umc

Help us to overcome the lovelessness in our own hearts. #UMC #prayer

Using the blunt force of church law against sisters and brothers — instead of love, kindness, and prayer — is also indicative of spiritual cowardice. Does God need us to resort to un-Godly methods to ‘win’ in a theological conflict? The answer is no. #UMC

The sins of lovelessness and pride are the Traditional Plan of the Evil One. Christ’s command is to love one another. Those who do not do this bring shame upon themselves and upon the church. #UMC

I have kept my peace for a while. But now it is time to speak plainly … The United Methodist Church has chosen worldly and sinful coercion over Christ’s teachings to love one another — enemies included. Whatever one’s convictions — this turn is unChristian. #UMC

Grant us your wisdom and help us always do what is best to bear witness to your unconditional love.

Methodistica is back.

Save us from hateful words that become hateful habits of violence. Help us to cultivate love for one another instead. #prayer #peace
