I have a DREAM. That is, no more United Methodist Church.I grew up in the Methodist church. I left as a teenager because the Methodist Church is little more than the first Church of Karl Marx. After all, what can you say about a church that considers Hillary Clinton to be a member in good standing?
Today, the Methodist Church is little more than the “religious” arm of socialism.
The Methodist church is pro-illegal immigration. They have been in the bag for socialist health care, going as far as sending out emails to their membership “debunking” the myths of Obamacare.
Say, where are the liberal complaints on the separation of church and state?
I guess their outrage is selective.
The Methodists joined the Socialists, Communists and Marxists for the “One Nation” March. While the Methodists have been outraged that American used force to respond to 9/11, they remained shockingly silent on the torture by Muslims.
Reading the Methodist social justice manifesto is like reading a socialist wish list. They want amnesty, they want “economic justice”, they opposed “global climate change” (earth to the Methodists, man isn’t doing it), fighting global poverty (here is another hint, most poverty is caused by a lack of freedom and lack of a free enterprise system). Not shockingly, the Methodists side with the Islamists against Israel, and of course oppose America in Iraq.
In short, if you hate America, you have a great future in the Methodist church.
At the local level, there are some good people and they even have a few decent ministers left, though not many.
I left the Methodist church over 35 years ago. I have never looked back. The Methodist church is an embarrassing joke.
I have a DREAM too. My dream is the Methodist church goes out of business.
- PHILLIPS: The Founding Fathers originally said, they put certain restrictions on who gets the right to vote. It wasn’t you were just a citizen and you got to vote. Some of the restrictions, you know, you obviously would not think about today. But one of those was you had to be a property owner. And that makes a lot of sense, because if you’re a property owner you actually have a vested stake in the community. If you’re not a property owner, you know, I’m sorry but property owners have a little bit more of a vested interest in the community than non-property owners.

For the past 150 years (or more) many Christians (including southern protestants) have been spurred to action in response to challenges from men like Judson Phillips. Their stories are included on this website. Instead of heated debate and condemnation, the best response to such outrageous ideas is to take positive action to work for social justice, Kudos to hard-working Methodists for their continued action in the name of Jesus to address the injustices in our land and to improve the lives of the children of God in today's world.
I wonder:
Should we continue to debate and argue about issues of social justice or .....should we focus on taking concrete actions (individually and collectively) based on our conceptions of What Jesus Would Do, in light of the vast needs of those around us?
