The Wesley brothers would be turning in their grave at the state of the Methodist church today.
There is no Gospel being preached warning people of sin and hell and mercy ONLY found in Christ.
Churches like this one only care about politics- they care not about the Gospel of Christ.
Actually stay radical- preach the Gospel!

@BritishFailedAesthetic The standing of Christ begets the standing near God
@val70 Mystical expressions/indirect answers are not an answer.

Social justice is an essential element of loving one’s neighbour as yourself.
Many of the great social reformers in England in the nineteenth century were Christian.
Thomas Clarkson, Wilberfoce, Fry, Josephine Bulter, Lord Shaftesbury , to name but a few.
Church and State are not the same, though we are called to pray for the State. Even Paul called for that prison. God uses strange people as his servants, Cyrus in Babylon.
Christian have an important outreach to the community. Archbishop elect Sarah amply showed this in her New Year message.
But our prime task is spreading the Gospel. God’s Son came at great cost, to reconcile us with God. Pure Grace.

@peterlee There's no excuse for inaction.The Good News of Jesus Christ demands a response. Although Jesus's cleansing of the Temple is generally understood as not a parable, it's still a historical event and prophetic action. What action isn't according to the Gospel than be on the right or lawful side of history then? It’s the profound dying to self and rising with Christ, that’s the entry point into the Church's own life and mission, a desperate call to live out Christ's love and sacrifice

This is exactly what's wrong with churches now. They belong to the state and are increasingly secular like this.
Watch them all fall.. one by one.

@Magicianzini If you're only watching, you're not Christian. C'est tout

@Magicianzini Just watch them all fall. You don't have eyes to watch then? You don't watch from a distance then? Going against that isn't laughable, that's straight from the Gospel. It doesn't say watch, it says do something about it
