They try to shine, but could it be there is no light inside because the OIL has not been replenished and the light has gone out. (What happened to ELI, right in the temple.) No OIL (Anointing), No light! Could it be that what little oil remains, the light cannot shine out because the vessels have been "covered" up on the outside and hides the glimmer that might remains inside! Could it be that the TRUE covering has been removed and the oil inside has become contaminated!! Could it be that like Eli, the light has gone out and we don't even know it! He had become so complacent and sluggish, he didn't even know the light had gone out. So sad!

2Cor. 4:7 "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Isaiah 10:27 "
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

IJohn 2:27 "But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

You can take a beautiful stained glass window in a building, and it does not show its true beauty unless there is a LIGHT shining from within!
Just some sincere thoughts!

This reminds me of a factory rep visiting my store some 25 years ago. He had just visited another store not too far away that was not clean, and the employees were lethargic.

He said, "They are out of business, and they don't even know it yet!"

Sure enough, three months later they closed their doors.

I hope that the following has NOT happened: The cloud has moved and the UPCI has stayed put because they were more focused on the land instead of the cloud.

As I said in another thread, the UPC is not monolithic. Individual dealers might be in jeopardy, but Steinway is alive and well overall.

In our world today, that's just wacko and extremist. Tell them that they must love people, be faithful to their companion, help the poor, not steal or kill (you know, the things the BIBLE defines as SIN/good works), then you may have an audience.

HERESY!!!!!

I am shocked, yes SHOCKED, that words like this would appear on a forum which uses the word Apostolic in its name.

Or, another way to put it is
"the wheel is still spinning but the hamster is dead."
