The Wylie United Methodist Church Is Part Of Christianity

By Steven Schmidt


Christianity is the world's most dominant religion. There is no country in the world that does not have Christians. The Peoples Republic of China has millions of Christians despite the fact that it is not a Christian nation. There are even Christians in North Korea. Saudi Arabia is the official capital of Islam. The holiest sites in Islam are found in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. However, there is still a sizable population of Christians in Saudi Arabia as well as in other Islamic countries. America is a Christian nation. There are a number of churches in America including Wylie United Methodist Church.

Methodism is part of the Protestant denomination. It all started with Catholicism. When the Emperor Constantine was converted to Christianity, Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire. That is how Catholicism was started. With time, people started having grievances against Catholicism. The Great Reformation happened and with it came the birth of Protestantism in Europe.

There are more Protestants than Catholics in the United States of America. There are thousands of Protestants in just Wylie, Texas alone. Protestants are found all over the state of Texas. The Methodist Church is Protestant in every sense and respect. Protestants and Catholics do not conflict each other. In fact, they complement each other because they have a lot in common.

A true Methodist fully believes in the Bible. The Holy Bible is his compass. It is the light of his feet. As it has been said a number of times in Scripture, the Bible is a double edged sword. Scripture is true in every sense and respect. As a matter of fact, it has never lied and it will never lie.

The Bible is the holiest book in the world. There is no book that has ever been written that even comes close to the Holy Bible. It is the only book on earth that has prophesies that were prophesied thousands of years ago, that were fulfilled up to the last detail. The Bible is not only holy. It is also inspired and true.

Methodism places a lot of emphasis on the congregation of believers. There is nothing like lone wolf Christianity. That totally does not make sense. Two or more people make a majority. One needs to attend the Sunday service so that to be able to congregate with other believers. It is a pleasing thing when believers encourage each other.

The Sunday service will be presided over by a pastor or a bishop. It is only an ordained minister who is allowed to preside over a service. The service will start with a word of prayer. After that, there will be the praise and worship section. Finally, the pastor will deliver a sermon and close the service with prayers.

Christianity is not about mere words. It is about actions. When everything has been said and done, it is actually the actions that will matter. One should not preach water and drink wine. That is the height of hypocrisy. A Christian needs to practice what he preaches if he wants to influence others positively as well as grow in the faith.
