Re: Not sure where to go from this point...

I'm an undercover liberal in the upc. just look for a liberal apostolic church. make up of the devil is ignorant and too extreme. don't think twice about leaving. giving up make up out of consecration to God can be presented in a more acceptable manner.

Take your time in evaluating your situation. Haste in making a decision like this could cause you more heartache in the long run. Yet, I understand where you're coming from. Pray with an open heart and wait on the Lord. There are as many opinions as there are people on AFF. We can help share with you and pray for you but ultimately you are facing a situation that you will have to make the final decision. I will be praying for you.

I left the UPC many years ago. But, I didn't make the decision overnight and I didn't make it with any malice. Do your best to not become bitter. That just makes the recovery longer. God bless you!

This is probably the best answer that could be given to someone who is still seeking something more than what they are receiving. There is no NT scriptural prohibition about wearing makeup.

My only addition to this would be not to let it get to the point of feeling any malice. Only you will know if you should stay or if you should leave and find a church that would be more suitable to meet your spiritual needs.

Ya, that was nice. And ya,
see all the good they have done for you,
what you have learned from them,
and the gift you were given,
and nevermind the rest.

A more spiritual path is for you to define.

Trust that God delights in your unique way
of producing fruit, in line with Word;
and you must define Word for yourself.

What is there to discuss?? Regardless of how he said it, he's only preaching standard UPC practices, can't fault him on that. I just don't know if I can do all of that.
