Tulsa Report Day 2 - Page 47

While the jury is out....

I think we must acknowledge some fundamental differences in pastoral discipline.

IF the young lady was "shacking up" yesterday, how long should she be "sat down" before singing in the choir? I dare say the answers from pastors could be as varied as one day to two years. This different approach may be at the heart of an accusation such as in this thread.

Also, there are some in the UPC who do not see alcohol as the enemy. Even some AMF ultra-cons who post here have alcohol in their homes. So are they social drinking winos??

It feels like this is an eternal argument. Let's join with WAR as they sing...

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I seen you 'round for a long long time
I really 'membered you when you drink my wine

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I seen you walkin' down in Chinatown
I called you but you could not look around

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I bring my money to the welfare line
I see you standing in it every time

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I'd kinda like to be the President
so I can show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Sometimes I don't speak too bright
but yet I know what I'm talking about

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I know you're working for the CIA
they wouldn't have you in the Mafia

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Since we are Pentecostal, we need more than one song. Let's join FRIENDS as they sing and play "I'll Be There For You."

Praise the Lord!

With every head bowed and every eye closed, I know there are those among us who really need the wonderful gift of the Holy Ghost and there are others who want to draw nearer to the Lord and establish a more intimate relationship with Him.

Just put your hand on your computer - the Lord will make it REAL time - you can take this day...this hour...and this moment to recommit yourself to His purpose and calling...

Each and every one of you has enjoyed the blessing and fellowship of His perfect forum or fora...and now is the acceptable time...now is the time to take that first step...now is the time to move from just entering, deleting, escaping or paging down...now is the time to move out from behind the protection of your keyboard...and move to the altar of commitment and acceptance...

Now, singing, "Have thine own way Lord" (times 26)...

If you have been moved by this entreaty...just lift your hand right now...with every head bowed and every eye closed... "Thank you, brother," "Thank you, sister" Many, many hands being raised across the www... Let's all come forward at this time...

Now singing, "Can't nobody do me like Jesus" (times 54)...

Well, I've been reading this post for over an hour!

Pelathais, if you had not missread Steadfast's post, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. I knew exactly what he was saying, the first time I read it.

If you think for one minute that we are not having trouble with some of our young people 'experimenting' with alcohol and fornication, think again. It seems rampant in some areas. Sad, but true.

Nice to see you defending the UPCI! Why the change of heart? Glad to see it.........

Once again, someone has read something that was not expressed by Pel. He was not sticking his head in the sand about whether or not the youth of our time was/is experiencing and falling to the temptation that this world has to offer. He was defending the accusation that a pastor knowingly turned his head to the matter, allowing those involved to stay "active" and unrepentant.
