Get Over Tampa, Get Over Tulsa

I'm sorry, but this pity party over the Tampa vote is nauseating! I refuse to take the blame for voting my conscience at Tampa the result of which made some men feel they needed to leave the UPC and start a new organization.

Get over it! It is what it is. I think Jesus is fully capable of accomplishing His will and building His Kingdom however He chooses and it can be accomplished through BOTH the UPC and the WPF. Some are acting like Samuel mourning over Saul. How long will you weep for Saul? Go get up fill your horn with oil---there's a new king to anoint!

Get busy about the Kingdom's business and quit whining about who did what to whom. They voted their conscience we voted ours. The vote went one way and not the other. Some feel they need to leave others are fine with the way things are.

There is no need to demonize either side. Leave Tampa alone and leave Tulsa alone. God is in control. The Gospel will be preached to the whole world. Souls will still be saved. The rapture is still going to happen.

The UPCI doesn't need a "healer". We've got all the healer we need. Jesus is still with us. I hope and pray Jesus is still with WPF. Time will tell. BUT PLEASE---GET OVER TAMPA!!!!!!

It is so last September.

While your desire to get to work on more important matters is commendable, when it comes to our fellowship I think we do need to do a lot of house cleaning. I have been in churches where I spent years paralyzed and unable to win souls because I didn't really think I would be helping folks by bringing them to "my" church.

Once, for a brief period of time, I sat in a UPC church where I was the only "saint" and the preacher still took out all of his insecurities on me from the pulpit. I just had to cry.
