Embodying the Gospel – v4

Words of holy scripture
of who we truly are
children of God
if we are truly faithful
following Your call

Embodying the Gospel
re-presenting Christ
faithful disciples
showing love to all
the depths of God’s grace

“my 'heart' sinks with your continued association with the United Methodist church. God's Word clearly says that the Lord’s command is no females are allowed to be leaders. 1 Cor. 14:33-38; 1 Tim 2:12-3:12. Violating God's Word is not a recommended path to follow.”
