Through out the years at The one and only UPC church
I was apart of for seventeen years; my Pastor started easing up. Saints were told to not tell any new convert about standards. Eventually My Pastor dropped a bomb when he started preaching grace and what God requires of him is not required for the whole church. He apologized for being so hard and tuff. He said the he was afraid the UPC Manual has been put above the Bible.
Some things we teach as doctrines are not so.
While I was under a UPC Pastor and under his leading; standards were fading away and grace and Gods love and mercy were coming in to view.
I found a new trust and faith in Gods love.
My Pastor stumbled in the end, but he that has been forgiven much loves much.
My Pastor put up with My short falls and loved me even when I let him down. But he always loved me.
I loved him. He is a good man.
How could I not forgive his down falls. After All he is only a man.
