**Especially on the contentious issue of homosexuality -- but also on the subject of abortion -- denominations like the United Methodist Church (UMC), Episcopal Church USA (ECUSA), and the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) have lurched leftward in a turn that is as breathtakingly swift as it is radical. This deviation threatens to further the rupture between Bible-believing members and apostate leaders.**

Thanks for posting this.

**Voting with Their Pocketbooks
Donations to ECUSA tumbled in the aftermath of the General Convention. The denomination's executive council was told that revenues were down more than $3 million following the controversy -- representing 6 percent of the ECUSA's expected revenue this year, according to CitizenLink.**

Best way we lay people have to speak out is with our pocketbook.

***While the issue of abortion is not likely to split the mainline Protestant denominations***

It should.

This, in and of itself, is a stinging rebuke to the passive conservatives within these monstrous "churches".

Whether or not the average member in the pew knows it, many leaders within some of the nation's oldest Protestant denominations are steering their churches into schism.

I have personally seen these blind guides leading the sheep to destruction. I've rebuked a couple of them for their ungodly behavior. They're in the world and out of God's Word. In Ezekiel 34 1:10 God admonishes preachers NOT to do this very thing, or they will suffer his wrath. Wow unto them.
