Christian Chat

I really like to use the "Not in my good Christian server!" meme at my house a lot whenever my friends are over, except since we go to a Catholic school, it's "Not in my good Protestant household!"

LOL😂😂😂

Oh no guys I'm freaking out.
The United Methodist Church (which I am a part of) is currently holding a conference about if they should accept LGBTQA+ members into the church and if they should be able to hold same sex weddings and stuff.
If the Methodist Church decides to keep the LGBTQA+ community away, my church will either decide to not be Methodist or I won't be allowed in my church anymore. They'll probably decide to not be Methodist but then we'll have to change our finances, religious texts, format, etc. and we still haven't found a new building to worship in after we lost our old one.

I'll be praying for you. I hope it works out for you.

I saw this post on tumblr, and thought of you. This post is being passed around through quite a few religious and LGBTQIA+ affirming tumblr people and has lots of support. It's talking about everything that's going on with the Church and has lots of lots of links to support and articles and lots of just good information. There is a lot of support for you and lot's of people are praying for everyone in the Methodist Church in this time of anxiousness tension and potential change. It's important to know you aren't alone in your worries, we're here. and I wanted to share this verse, since it's not something that will be scoffed at in this chat, as support, John 16:33 says, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
I pray for peace and provision not only for you but for the entire Methodist Church, that hearts and lives might be changed and more people see God through this. If God could turn the heart of Saul and help him spread the gospel more than any others, and if he could soften the heart of Pharaoh towards the Israelites, then he can soften the heart of the Church towards the LGBTQIA+ community, do not give up hope!

hey, the LGBT+ community is there so support each other, and so is the body of Christ, it's the least I could do. I mean, It can be a struggle LGBTQIA+ and Christian, Im Asexual and Aromantic, and I get it, the church can be a really tough place to be sometimes. I'm not in the Methodist Church myself, but I go to a Christian University and honestly the climate on campus is rather anti-LGBT+ issues and that's hard enough to deal with. I cant imagine the stress your whole community must be under. I just want to support you as best I can.

Guess who got to go to church today after being snowed in for two weeks straight! I’m so happy…

Horray!!! That's amazing!

My good, Christian sense of humor has gotten a bit old, so it's time to hold a funeral for it. Rest in pancakes.

Well, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, but at least you can still go to church!

Then again you might want to consider a different church……..

So the UMC general conference is over…
They've decided that no same sex couples can be married through the church and no LGBTQA+ people can be pastors

That's basically discrimination. I'm sorry.

hey guys, Id encourage you all to look at queerchristianaffirmations on tumblr today! They're being so encouraging and posting so many positive things. If you're having a hard time seeing the good in what has happened, I recommend you go look at all the stuff on their page, it's so uplifting and positive.

I want to share an encouraging passage that was read last night at my Christian school's LGBT+ club: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. I hope you take the time to read the whole passage, but either way I want to share with you the few verses from that passage that felt so very powerful last night as I sat in that room, doubting my own value. 1Corinthians 22-25, "It is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; and those members of the body which we deem less honourable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable, whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked, so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same love for one another."

That is powerful.

Hey guys…I could really use some prayer right now. I have had a paranoia attack. See, my mom lost her mom to a car crash when she was in high school or college…I don't remember which. Anyway, I started to feel bad this morning and there have been so many signs (at least that's what they seem like) and I'm afraid that's gonna happen to me. Please pray that it doesn't or if it does, that I will receive the needed comfort.

That's awful… I'll keep you in my prayers tonight.

Thank you. I'm really freaked out, but luckily school kinda distracts me if only for a few moments.

What the actual pancakes. This is pancaking ridiculous! iF MY UNCLE (he’s gay) WANTS TO HAVE A CHRUCH WEDDING THEN HE SHOULD HAVE A CHRUCH WEDDING PANCAKES!

…………………..pancakes?

…………………..pancakes?

I started this weird thing where instead of cursing, I’d use either the English or Japanese word for “pancake”, so she’s referencing that because this is technically a good, Christian server

Pancake = censored swear words

Oh cool!

Pancake = censored swear words

LOL

I'm sorry. I know that I'm late on this, but I'll pray for you anyway.

Same here.

Guess who's brothers got sick so now I can't go to church tomorrow? Mine… Yaaaay
