Sadly, the reason I left the Methodist church is that I was hearing the things I can hear anywhere else in the world. And this was in a traditionalist Methodist church, not progressive. I found that numerous traditionalist churches have wandered into a church growth gospel that increasingly sounds like the world. I fear that in this more worldly version of traditionalism, progressives will seize opportunities to fold in their leaven.
That's an important point. Why bother with the trouble and expense of churches when they agree with TV? The same rule applies to businesses.. Nobody sells what you can get for free. If they try, they don't last long. Churches shouldn't be surprised by what's happening to them.
Truth is truth….God’s word never changes!
Thank you for your faithfulness and
God's word never changes, even though people may! God Bless
