I am choosing to stay United Methodist for several reasons:

 

I would like to end with a story.  Once a long time ago I considered leaving the UMC.  I was struggling with a controversy at the local church I was attending.  One Sunday I visited a different denomination with my friend.  Things were very nice.  You know sometimes if we just go to church for one hour a week, things go pretty smoothly.  But if you are like me and like to get involved there may be obstacles along the way.  I heard God in my knower (that is how God speaks to me, I just know) that if I got involved at another church there probably would be other obstacles. I heard God saying, “You could start a church; the Church of Holly Neal. It would have one member (Holly) and you would not be able to keep yourself happy all the time.  Since that time I have never thought of leaving the denomination again.

 

I truly believe we are better together. United Methodist are not perfect people, but we value Scripture and encourage each other to be all God is calling us to be.
