A church that suffers no persecution but enjoys the privileges and support of the things of the earth – beware! – is not the true church of Jesus Christ. A preaching that does not point out sin is not the preaching of the gospel. A preaching that makes sinners feel good, so that they are secured in their sinful state, betrays the gospel’s call." – Archbishop Oscar Romero

First of all, let me say welcome. Second, please note that the posts in this blog do not reflect the opinions of the United Methodist Church, nor my local congregation. They are mine alone, and depending upon the day, I might not even claim them as my own either :^)
The beautiful header for my blog was painted by Julie R. Neidlinger. Her work and blog can be found at Lone Prairie.Net.
