Re: I Love The UPCI
I go to a UPC church and I am a very loving person. I try never to say unkind words to people on AFF or anywhere else. And I try not condemn and judge or pre-judge people. As I know personally the pain of that. If it does not uplift anyone it hurts them, so think before you speak might be good for us all.

Re: I Love The UPCI
Brazil is a better country becuse of the UPCI...and I have never been to one of their conventions...but thousands of people know Jesus because of their missionaries and national preachers...I rejoice in that fact.

Re: I Love The UPCI
I have been called charismatic because many posts are about love...even to the point of receiving e mails telling me that...

Re: I Love The UPCI
I havent read this whole thread but I too agree I am tired of those who just think the UPC is horrible and anyone who is in it is in bondage... not true but they can live in their own little happy world and I will continue in my world! I am blessed!
The last 2 nights I have sat and worshiped in the First Annual RAIN conference sponsored by the upc.. RAIN is Reaching African Immigrants in North America... its a product of a burden the UPC has for African ministries and our African daughter work was fortunate enough to have the first conference here! It was awesome and we are so excited! Seeing more and more Africans come in daily is such a blessing! We look forward to one day being there with them in their country to worship with them there but until that day we will be happy with fellowship here with them...
It was funny because they introduced my hubby as their white african brother who aint seen africa but is more African than some of them LOL... he loved that... These people are such a blessing and we love them... and I personally love the UPC! Had a wonderful time of fellowship after with the African church family and many of the officials from Missouri and I have to say... I love their burden for Africa!!!!!

I thought of you the entire time! You would have absolutely loved it... and Bro Nathan Kortu and Bro Forpa preached and Bro Hall and Bro Clanton (or Clayton I never could understand him it was so loud where we were talking) all spoke and it was so so awesome and we were so blessed!

Re: I Love The UPCI
What exactly do you love?
It just seems odd to me that someone has to proclaim your love for the UPCI.

Did some think we were REBELS? Yep! Sure did! But, guess what? We still love God. We still go to that same church WITH the people that thought we were REBELS and we still ALL WORSHIP TOGETHER!!
Agree with Bro. Hoover (I can call you Bro.? Right?) God has been good to me and my family!
Have good church everyone! I'm running late and have to hook up a monitor for a SS Teacher this morning!!

Wanted to add this: When I needed a reference to attend Nursing School, my SECOND former Pastor wrote a HORRIBLE reference for me. He actually believed that going to school would cause everyone to backslide! Let me go a little further, he is a wonderful man and he loves God with all his heart and TRULY thought he was looking after souls. But, I believe that God had other plans for me OR maybe I had other plans for me and God "allowed" me to fulfill my goals for His Purpose.

I've known of a couple of pastors who were threatened when members of their congregations expressed an interest in higher education. I would have had to have a talk with Jesus about finding another place to worship.
How did church go this morning? We had an awesome service...I almost shouted and I don't ever shout! lol
