For starters ... I want to see the Church focus on Jesus Christ and what He's done and can do in our lives in their preaching and teaching ....
I don't want error to be taught that frustrate and confuse the lives and walks of Spirit-filled believers like I believe this teaching does ...
Not everything is heaven or hell ... but how we can live victorious and more satisfying lives when we live by biblical principles ....
yet those on your side of the fence can't see that w/ your rose color glasses on.
I have never been quiet about my wanting to see the movement I grew up in progress and make reform .. (I know that's viewed as a dirty word).
and yearn to see a return what in the words of TF Tenney We must make the main thing ... the main thing ....
Does it have to look the way I want it to look ??? No, of course not, but what could be wrong w/ organic growth and teaching bible based principles rather than man-made traditions and philosophies?
I would like to see that organization I grew up in and my family gave their life to not get further entrenched in legalism and fall prey to the vocal minority that tried to hijack it for almost 3 decades ....
In doing so and rejecting this doctrine they gain credibility and make baby steps to being transparent and accountable to their mission: The Whole Gospel to the Whole World.

Where would the UPC be without Dan? We are all lost without him. Can he accomplish what would be a monumental task for any mere human, but not for Dan? How is this all to be accomplished? What other reforms are needed? Where do you stand on the need for reform?
