From morning worship at #UMCGC…
“There is no competition in the Kingdom of God! It’s not destroying another denomination in order to build another denomination! That’s not what evangelism is about!”
The ~150 countries where there is a UMC presence reflects the many cultures. People in various areas know best what people there need from the church. So the question is "Do we trust people" from other areas of the world to make decisions for themselves? #umcgc
“The church was not built for our pleasure, it was built for God’s purpose.” Bishop Jonathan Holston, #UMCGC Episcopal Address
Too bad the #GMChurch can’t say the same thing, when their own pleasure, power, and antigay playground is literally the basis of their existence. #UMC
@umjeremy I think people are able to distinguish between responding to natural disasters and General Conference apportionments. People with generous hearts will continue to give generously.
@UMCdiscipleship @BelgianFriar @juniusdotson True. And yes, I did sign up already! And see that much of today's talk is within those pages. Thanks for this great campaign.
