I do know that there will come a day that my friends see that I am not coming back to the UPC and they might change their tune. But so far so good. Keep up the walking. As long as you are walking toward Him you will be taken care of.

its been about 6 months for me, its funny a girl I went to Bible School with was going through the same things as I was at the same time, we are both trying to be strong...not a lot of the people I went to school with know about this(I was done BC in 2003) and being a young minister I feel like there is no place to go but I have a great support system in the church I have been attending and feel as thought its the best place for me right now...

Anyway a preacher preached a sermon where he likened the UPC to Noahs ark and the implication was that if you were not UPC you were not going to be saved. Even back then I found that pretty amazing and that was before I "went charismatic".

The UPC is also some times referred to as the Mother Ship.
And, some times the Scripture in Acts 27:31 is referenced and paraphrased as "Unless you stay in the Mother Ship you can't be saved."
When I think of that phrase I also think of a quote by the late Wynn T.Stairs. He had been a member of the PAJC and was the first foreign missionary director of the UPC after its formation in 1945. Bro. Stairs left the UPC in the 1970's and someone accused him of leaving the ship of salvation. He replied, "Ridiculous! We just left the toilet and went up on deck to get some fresh air."

Re: Grace Church Of Humble...
Hello,
I am a member of Grace Church. I just moved here in feb of this year. I love this church. Its unlike anything Ive ever experienced. I've been in church my entire life and Ive never known the love that is shown at this church. The preached word is a life application style of preaching. The worship and music ministry is amazing. There are two campuses. I attend the Humble campus. The other is the midtown campus.
Blessings

Hmmmm...because it is almost midnight? Because he might have been?
Who is Bro. Trimble?
This Grace Church is an exUPC church pastored by Brett Jones and was previously pastored by his father. Did Bro. Trimble have something to do with it?
