When church got hard, people left.#UMC #BeUMC #methodist #church #Pastor #podcast #leadership

We MUST move beyond the comfort of the past and tackle the tough conversations that matter today

I stopped going to church when children started getting molested and the church wouldn’t turn over the men who did it how can someone claim to be a man of God then hurt children

I believe in God not the corrupt claiming to speak his word

What is the context of this? Because if I am hearing right, this man is stating when church becomes difficult people leave. Oh my. It’s almost like Jesus didn’t say that being a Christian wouldn’t be easy, that there would be false teachers, and you had to fight against them, it’s almost as if Jesus didn’t say these things. And now we can just leave the church when we don’t like what we see, or we can just change the nature of God when it doesn’t suit us. Sir, if this is what I heard, this is vile. Us Christians must fight day in and day out spiritually against the demons of sin around us. Us Christians must fight the wolves in sheep’s clothing who preach against the resurrection, who preach for separation, who preach for laying back basic Christian principles. How can we expect to build the Kingdom of God on earth and be with God when our day comes if we don’t?
