How many of you Pray for the UPC?

[Praxeas]

Well? Do you pray for the UPC? For unity? For those in leadership to to succumb to corruption etc etc? I hear a lot of anti-UPC rhetoric and it's said they have no animosity but if that is true do you pray for the UPC to become better or do you passively hope for it's demise?

The UPC is inanimate. It's akin to praying for a rock.

Pray for the leaders of the UPC? Sure. They are people. However, the UPC is just an organization.

Unity? Have they ever had that in the UPC?

Uhm, not sure the rock analogy is really correct. Of course, we do realize the prayers are for the poeple who make up the organization.

I don't know if I have ever prayed for the UPC but in every prayer I pray for all God's men who preach truth and their families and precious saints of God around the world. And I pray for every missionary preaching truth.

I would hope so, but around here, one never knows!

Sigh....having an intelligent conversation these days is like pulling teeth.

Did I at least spell my words correctly?

Prax, is it past your bedtime?

Some of the people that comment negatively about the UPC and see only corruption and rarely have anything good to say....if you think the UPC as an organization is having problems then DO YOU pray that such problems will be resolved so the UPC can help you non-UPCers reach this lost world with the gospel?

I think there are positive changes that are taking place, but it still has a long way to go. In the meantime, the old-timers want to bail because they don't like the changes.

I wonder why Paul didn't start an organization?

Do you realize the question isn't "what is wrong with the UPC"? :-)

Do you pray for the UPC and all the problems real or imagined, that it as an organization of men is going through?

Do you pray for the leaders of the UPC? Considering all the "problems" what do we do? Just talk about it? Prayer..Im asking if anyone is praying for this group as well as other Oneness groups? How much time is left...if you are not a preterist? We can point out all kinds of deficiencies BUT is prayer being made or is this really just a side show to entertain some of us like watching some contestant on American Idol sink into nothingness?

DO YOU PRAY FOR THE UPC?
