  1. I wonder what he would think about what has happened to the United Methodist Church, there turning from the true written word , and feel they set above him and have athority to change his word to invite the sin in to the church , this is luciferin

  2. I wonder if we could still rightfully say we keep our theology in our hymnals today. My dad went looking a song in the UMC hymal this past year that might go with a message about Gods authoritative word, the holy text and could not find any. And yet….in theory anyway….we still claim as a denomination to believe in the scripture above all other points of the quadrilateral. In practice however when many of the city preachers and administrative leaders of the western hemisphere part of the UMC say things like "can you quote from something other than Paul", I'm left wondering if our hymnal once had more songs about our theology when it comes to Gods sacred word and they have just been selectively removed over the years.

  3. It’s rather funny, many of his hymns of in the 1984 Hymnal the hymn book of the Episcopal Church. The Methodist movement broke off from the Church of England which was rebranded as the Episcopal Church in the US and yet despite that rift many of Charles Wesley’s songs are found in our hymnal.
