What I was thinking........dont go well with his skin tones either........or hair (or lack thereof) either.........stick to the blue Steddy..........
YouAintaMovin,
BTW - I am going to be in your fair city next month for a wedding. It is going to be one of those crazy fast trips I hate. One day of driving, one day of wedding, and then one day of driving back home. Arghhhhhh.
In other words, use whatever font you'd like...I was kidding you...
but, what are the other "straws" before the last "straw?"
RevBuddy, I forgot the smileys on the last post. Obviously I was kidding.
In all seriousness, I listed other things on the post I was later accused of lying on. But, from the general sentiment of many I know they just get tired of preaching...
* Modesty only to see very short skirts and splits that are extreme.
* Uncut hair only to go to meetings and see it everywhere.
You know as well as I do that the list could go on and on. RevBuddy, I'm relatively sure this isn't your 'first rodeo' and there is no doubt in my mind that you know all the answers before I listed any of them. Even so, for men who really do believe what they preach this becomes problematic.

I really shouldnt but it here.... but....
Steadfast, my only issue with this line is, these same issues have been "the issues" since 1945.
the UPCI has had men going to meetings and seeing liberals in the camp from day one.
more than once, some group of men have left the UPCI because it was too liberal, yet the UPCI seems to still be filled with men who range from one side the other.
how come these guys just now got their gut full? i just dont get that.

I HATE the liberal/conserative label.........I remember at one time in my life God even blessed us to help put on a meeting that was considered on the conserative side - but even there I would find men who would ask - ........ What are you doing here?........as in I was way to liberal to be there........
Then a few weeks later I visited a different conference and was ask ........ What are you doing here?........as in Dude you are WAYYYY to conserative to be here......
This really bothered me and so I took it to the Lord in prayer...........while I was traveling home from the second conference (and some may not believe this part) I felt the power of God come into the car and so I ask Him.........God what am I to do.........These guys think I am a liberal.....these others think I am too conserative........then I ask, God Where Am I?????????
I felt the power of God and then I felt a voice speak to me.......and HE said........Just stay in the shadow of the cross.......
Being the IAM that I am I argued.......but what about those on the left who feel I am one way and those on the right who feel I am another........what about them.........Then the answer came......If I am in the shadow of the Cross then those on the left are on the left of the cross and those on the right are on the right and neither one is in the shadow of the Cross........
So from that day on.......I will never try to impress you with how Holy or Liberal I am........I just want to do His will, be saved, and see my family saved and there be a church built in Longview Texas for the Glory of the Kingdom of God.........
And my friend other than that.......... NOTHING else matters............

and that is why I AM happy YOU Arent Moving.....
this is my point. these guys have been in an organization they have been in for many decades. the issues have always been the issues, why now? why this straw? for some, it is 50 years worth of "issues"
I dont get that. (I like the shade too)
