    When unbelievers tell me that they are not into organized religion, I reassure them that we are not all that organized.

    They didn’t find Jesus that first Easter. He found them. Dead men can go missing, but they can’t go hunting. I pray the Risen Christ finds you today wherever you are.

    The African payoff rumor turns out to be a delegate that had $900 in twenties and wanted C-notes because he gets a better exchange rate back home. He asked a Mississippi delegate who helped and his bishop helped trade bills, too. Shame on the rumor mill. #umc

    Replying to @RitterChris
    🧵3/3 "but send me your positive command, in such full and express terms as may absolve me from all guilt & punishment for neglecting this opportunity of doing good when you and I shall appear before the great and awful tribunal of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The meetings continued.

    Bribing an African delegate to support the Traditional Plan is like bribing me to eat bacon.
    So this is what the Ethics Committee reported.: "The Committee on Ethics brought in several people for conversation. At this time, the committee is unable to substantiate the allegation." s3.amazonaws.com/Website_Proper…

    Note to future generations: A denomination explicit on polity and abstract on doctrine will run out of steam and then fall apart.
