Is someone telling you that you should be UNhappy and UNcomfortable because of where you are in GOD?

Why do you feel you need keep saying that? Could it be because you need to constantly re-affirm your beliefs because they are hanging by a thread?

I am asking because I know this is a rather pervasive attitude in Pentecost.

Alright then, I would say we need a few more like you around here.

...can you please describe what you meant earlier by being happy "in God"?

Good, me too.

I remember meeting one man who I used to go to church with, a man who had witnessed miracles and was in church for years, and he still attended the smaller UPC in town while I had moved to the large UPC 5 years earlier.

I simply asked him how he was doing and he responded kind of like you..."I am doing great, I am happy where I am, I am not looking for anything else..." as though he thought the first words out of my mouth were going to try and get him to leave.

I thought, wow, that guy is really paranoid. Within 6 months, he had moved to Vegas and was back to a smokin' and a drinkin' his family in complete shambles...
