Re: A Crumbling UPC 'Fesses Up, AI is not working
Christ, The Solid Rock
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
—Edward Mote (1797-1874)

Why did you post this? It seems very random and out of place.

Perhaps because the foundation of man-made organizations that reveal weaknesses and faults, as this thread is about, should never be considered our foundation, but Christ instead.

Maybe, but unless that's explained, we're only guessing.

Amen, Bro. Blume,
If our HOPE is in anything else, we will not stand! All else is sinking sand!

Well, when people just hint as to what they mean, anybody can interpret it any old way. So, sometimes explaining things outright is better.

I just wrote to a brother in the Lord about the thoughts of vague and nebulous messages, and so I prefer bluntness. lol Paul said he used great plainness of speech in the New covenant ministry since it was the Old that was veiled and unclear.

Because there was no explanation, just a random song posted and we were supposed to interpret (guess) what you meant by it.
