CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 11, 2022
JOHN WESLEY, WHO IS CREDITED WITH FOUNDING THE METHODIST CHURCH MUST BE SPINNING IN HIS GRAVE.
UNITED METHODISTS IN ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA RECENTLY HOSTED A CHILDREN’S SERMON WITH A DRAG QUEEN, WHO IS ALSO A CERTIFIED CANDIDATE FOR ORDINATION.
ISAAC SIMMONS, WHO USES THE NAME “MS. PENNY COST,” ADDRESSED CHILDREN DURING A SERVCE AT ALLENDALE UNITED METHODIST CHURECH ON OCTOBER 2. A SUBSEQUENT SERMON INCLUDED A DENOUNCEMENT OF CAPITALISM, EMBRACE OF LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND OTHER OUTRAGES. THEY ALL GO TOGETHER.
IN ADDITION TO WEARING A DRESS, WIG AND HEAVY MAKEUP DURING THE CHILDREN’S SERMON, SIMMONS USES PROFANITY AS HE DISPARAGES SCRIPTURE. HE IS THE FIRST OPENLY GAY CANDIDATE TO BE CERTIFIED FOR MINISTRY IN THE ILLINOIS GREAT RIVER CONFERENCE.
IS IT ANY WONDER THE DENOMINATION IS HEADED FOR A SPLIT AND THAT MEMBERSHIP IS DECLINING? IT HAS LOST FIVE MILLION MEMBERS AND AS OF TWO YEARS AGO WAS LOSING 200 THOUSAND MEMBERS ANNUALLY.
NEVER HAS THE ADMONITION “COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE SEPARATE” BEEN MORE RELEVANT AND NECESSARY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
