Romans 14:5.. Talks about being fully persuaded.

If my lifestyle (coversation), or anything I ever do or say, causes a weaker brother or sister to fail God. I'll stand in judgement... guilty.

Most all of us have come from different teachings. I'm amazed at the differences. This forum is not an ideal way to convey our thoughts. Things are lost in translation. I cannot type into words the passion I have for Truth. I just want to be real and right.

Anything I do, read, watch, or anywhere I travel, I want to know if Jesus is pleased with what I am putting before me.

For me, the UPCI is going backwards. Maybe for you its going forward. It is doing one or the other. And time will tell. I am very happy to be a part of the WPF. And that is what this thread is about. Have you been to a WPF Church lately? God bless.

Bro. Tim,
There has been several times that I would read your post and be nodding in agreement and be touched by your sincerity...then just run into a land mine out of nowhere. I can't personally speak for all of the UPC, but my church is certainly not going backwards. The foreign fields that I am closely associated with are not going backwards. Every camp or conference that I, a family member, or my pastor has attended recently has been some of the best-attended and most powerful services in some time. Most of the reports from other camps and conferences that I've heard reflect the same.
On an unrelated note...how many WPF churches are there?
