God is All Knowing So Why Does it Matter?

[HeavenlyOne]

God judges from our inside.

We judge one another from our outside.

I was speaking to a friend of mine just last night about how different standards is preached today than it was 100 years ago.

If the UPC existed in 1900, how would they have preached holiness and separation in dress, considering that most of America in that age and time dressed the same among the sexes? Even the harlots in the saloons had long hair and dresses on!

We need to get back to the basics of what's important. Dress and hair isn't what's important as to a person's salvation. If we let God worry about issues only He should be worried about, how much larger would our churches be? How much happier of a people would we be to the sinners in our society? How much witnessing would actually have to be done if we just allowed our lights to shine instead of beating people with our flashlights?

RRH just preached at some convention with DKB recently. My friend is disturbed and thinking that her pastor is going to endorse the magic hair teachings, which she refuses to believe. Is this what the UPC is going to be all about now? Is this what the old-time Azuza revival hoped for 100 years later?

I hope not. The UPC is raising a generation of Pharisees...people who think that what they look like and how loud they pray is what makes them holy...and the kids are buying it.

God help us.
