I visited with my Bishop that I grew up under this weekend. He is a pastor of pastors. He is a part of the UPC and pastored the same church 47 years.

He is almost 80 years old and was a 35 year old Assembly of God evangelist when he received the revelation of the mighty God in Christ. Years ago, he was personally at the AG General Conference and with his own eyes and ears saw and heard the grayheads of the AG plead with the conference to hold the line on standards of holiness. The conference would not listen and history has revealed the outcome of that decision.

He is not UC but preaches very straight and always been principle and relationship driven and not rules based. He said that if the people would abide by just what resolution 4 allows then there is not much cause for concern but he knows that it is merely a foothold and that it will not stop at #4.

He wondered aloud, "I saw the compromise of one organization, I guess I may live to see the compromise of another."

Could it be that with the entrance of #4 this could be the start of the end for the UPC? It took the AG more than a few years to get where it is today. So it may not be this year or next but in 50 years what will the UPC look like? Could Thad be speculating about a merger of the UPC and the AG?

God Forbid!!

That is a concern. If the Conservatives are right-God Help Us.
If the liberals are right-God Help Us too for this issue will surely divide.

Careful...

Too many dreams, hopes and ambitions of young people have been aborted that lead to a life of doldrums and disappointments because of an ill perceived vision of the coming of the Lord.

Question for you. If you really believe this, how has it changed how you live your life? Seriously, if you felt this was true, would you really be sitting on some internet forum when there are people outside your door who need Jesus and there just might not be time to reach them?
