I know as well as all of you that the UPC is not perfect....i have been in it all my life, I have seen the abuse, the dishonesty of some and having sat on a District board for 10 years I have seen most everything you can see.
But I have also found that the large majority of the UPC..(and this includes the leadership) simply want to live for God and advance His kingdom.
It has been the greatest tool for the propagation of the Gospel in this century....it has sent out large numbers of missionaries, it has built thousands and thousands of churches..
But here on AFF we have the little small minded bitter, hateful pests who find joy in digging up dirt on UPCI ministers...
If a UPC man falls they post newspaper accounts and dance around in joy at his failings....
If someone makes a mistake or an ethical misstep, they descend like the vultures they are and tear away at them...
They take pleasure in any sin that is revealed in an UPC man....
Many of these same folks will defend and make excuses for the ridiculous antics and excesses of the charismatic/emergent/trinitarian world....but will jump on the slightest real or perceived variance of a UPC minister.
Some of you folks are nice people....in my opinion wrong maybe but good folks who love God..
But some on here are so filled with darkness and the root of bitterness has sprouted until it dominates your life.
I both feel sorry for you, because if you dont repent you will be lost....and at the same time you simply make me sick.
I apologize....i will not be able to respond for several days.
I am preaching out of state and will not be available.

Amen Brother! I don't see how some that post on AFF could ever feel like they were pleasing God and ready to meet Him with the attitudes that are displayed and the tearing down of the ministry that is done. I think I have read somewhere in the scripture that God hates 6 things and one is an abomination to Him.
Proverbs 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An
heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,
feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and
he that soweth discord among brethren.
There's a lot of these six things going on here. Check it out! It also says:
James 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy:
who art thou that judgest another?
Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone that REALLY loved the Lord would pray for each other and lift each other up, rather than criticize every little thing. What a better world it would be!
