The cool thing is that they were not falling out in the Spirit from having seen it and knowing they were "supposed" to. Our kids have their own services at our church on Sundays and Wednesdays, so when people have had these kinds of experiences in the sanctuary, our kids haven't been there to witness it. This was totally a sovereign move of God!!

Sherri,
We are always happy to hear of good reports concerning a move of God.
It's been my observation that in the midst of your reporting you seem to tend to do your comparison thing - you and the UPC. Here you say,
"The cool thing is that they were not falling out in the Spirit from having seen it and knowing they were "supposed" to.
That's something that you consistently do and, for me, it kind of takes the bloom off of your success stories. I'm not trying to be unkind. I just don't know why you find it necessary to, pretty much, say - "The UPC goes through the motions and we don't - what we have is real". I have seen people fake these things, as human beings in want of attention will do, but the larger percentage that I have observed, over the years, are sincere as the day is long.
I sit here thinking of the struggles our church has gone through, as do all, and how we have come through these situations having not lost one member. We have a very sincere group of people who want God more than organization - Well, we aren't even affiliated. I guess I find it insulting, in light of things I've been through to continuously come across like you do.
I know that this post is sounding unkind. That is not my intention. I have no negative feelings toward you, personally. I just felt that I wanted to express how I felt.
I think as leaders of the Kingdom of God we have a grave responsibility to "unite" and not "divide".
