Re: A Crumbling UPC 'Fesses Up, AI is not working

Consider the woman at the well. She was divorced five times and living with a man. Yet Jesus didn't rebuke her. Instead He showed her His glory and it was this "immoral" woman's testimony that brought the entire town where she lived to faith in Christ. I don't see any mention of her marrying right away.

God works far more slowly than we like Him too. In her weakness and brokenness, her fallen sinful condition, God had mercy, poured out His grace, and used her. Why can't we understand that the Gospel's purpose isn't a "make you a better person" scheme... but a plan to save a fallen and sinful mankind?

All of us sin. Sin is sin. God's grace is sufficient. Give God time to work on the heart as the mind is transformed by the Word.
