Our local UMC here in Northern Luzon, Philippines just observed its 115th Founding Anniversary! Praise the Lord. My family has been UMs since our grandfathers (one was a pastor, an uncle was a pastor, my wife a deaconess) and we are closely following what is happening now to our belovef Church trusting that God in His infinite love for us and in His boundless wisdom will bring to His UMC His will.
Our job as Christian is to tell everyone about the love of Jesus. It’s Jesus’ job to change the hearts of the people. Every denomination has gone through some kind of split for whatever reason. The United Methodist Church will survive as an organization. Real Estate properties: all properties purchased under United Methodist denomination that is no longer used by a UMC organization is sold, and the proceeds used to fund the UMC pension obligations. Christians need to be passionate about the condition of refugee children separated from their parents and housed in cages. Young boys and girls trafficked for sex at significant sporting events; more and more people are falling into homelessness because they aren’t making a liveable wage and etc. The judgment of the homosexual person, abortion rights, immigrants coming to the United States invokes high passion and energy for meetings and great discussions in the Christian communities. BIG distraction, the devil is busy.
46:13 That's interesting, but what about bishops and clergy who directly, consistently disobey? ... OK, it's discussed at 55:00. Note: the Anglican Church in North America bars women from becoming bishops; no thanks.
As an outsider I am praying for my brothers and sisters in the United Methodist Church and the upcoming meeting!
