That Time Has Come! | Affiliation For over four generations the roots of Methodism have run deep in the soil of my family. Beginning with my great-grandfather Peter, my grandfather Edward, and my father Robert, the only spiritual home that me and my ancestors have known has been the Methodist Church. As a young boy, to this day I ca...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 22, 2022

Vero Beach FL: The Wesleyan Covenant Association – Florida Regional Chapter (“WCA-Florida”) confirmed it has been twelve (12) weeks since the WCA FL team partnered with the National Center for Life and Liberty and requested formal negotiations with Bishop Carter. They respectfully requested that he negotiate an agreement for churches that wish to leave the denomination amicably, utilizing par 2548.2 of our Book of Discipline. “We are saddened that as of this writing we have not heard from our Florida conference leadership. We are, however, excited to report that more and more Florida churches are signing up for this process in an effort to contend for the faith entrusted to us,” said Jeremy Rebman, President of the WCA-Florida.

Rebman went on to say: “We know that many traditional UMC pastors, laity and churches feel trapped and alone right now. We have clearly been rejected by our conference. We are seen as an impediment to their new liberal agenda. There is an unwillingness on the part of UM leaders to work with churches that cannot afford to depart under 2553, and yet, desire to be released. Therefore, we are launching a new website that will enable us to come together and speak with one voice."

Rebman’s team has designed a new website, LetUSGo.world, to allow folks who believe the whole Bible is the inspired Word of God and believe that we should follow the current UMC Book of Discipline, to sign their names and stand together.

LetUsGo.world is offered to everyone who wants to sign their name in support of churches being able to depart the UMC in a way that is possible and fair for all churches who wish to leave.
LetUsGo is designed to let the United Methodist leadership know all signers are eager to end the fighting and partner with Methodist organizations where we share like-minded goals and missions.

Rebman concluded by saying that: “We promise to report the number of signatures to you from time to time and celebrate milestones. Remember, you are not alone as you contend for our faith. We only want our United Methodist Leadership to agree to Let us go!”

Is the General Conference Delay Legal? — Firebrand Magazine The further delay of the United Methodist Church General Conference raises a number of questions.

Renew Network- Let us join Anne and Christians around the world praying for Afghanistan.

While I am intensely preparing for my Cove seminar this weekend, I cannot shake the very heavy burden I feel to pray for Afghanistan. The following is a summary of how I am praying as I pour out my heart before God. Please join me if you feel led:

Creator of the Universe. Ruler of All. Lord of the Nations.

Are You not the Judge of all the earth? If my heart is broken…shattered…over what’s taking place in Afghanistan, what must Your great heart feel? So I come to You and plead Your mercy for Your people who are now hiding in basements, caves, any hole they can find, knowing that demonic forces will not stop until Your people are found and slaughtered. So I pray for Your people…followers of Jesus…to be supernaturally protected and delivered. Send Your angel armies to surround Your people, as You did for Elisha (2 Kings 6). Blind the enemy so they cannot locate Your people in hiding. Didn’t You teach us Yourself that when we pray, we are to pray that we would be delivered from evil? (Matthew 6) So. Deliver Your people. By any means. Please.

But if You do not, and if You allow Your people to be slaughtered, then I pray that You would give dying grace to each and every one of them. Men. Women. Children. Fill them with Your supernatural peace. Give them a vision of Heaven opened for them, as You did for Stephen in Acts 7. Open their eyes to see You, Lord Jesus, standing at the right hand of the Father, waiting to welcome them Home and give them a martyr’s crown.

And then I pray…yes I do… for the fullness of Your wrath to fall on the evil perpetrators, whether they are in Kabul or Tehran or Washington, DC. Holy God. Avenge Your people.

I know You hear this prayer. Now I wait to see how You will answer.

Even so, come Lord Jesus. Surely it’s time for You to be glorified in all the earth.

For the sake of Your great name,

Amen
