Know what I long for?!

Today I was thinking about the Will Love Prevail thread and got a longing for the days gone by...

Anyone ever get a hankering feeling...not indigestion, but just a feeling deep within for how things used to be?!

I sure have...I am Apostolic Church born and bred, but have NEVER seen a day like today. Maybe I was never 'in the know' or lived in a cave, but I don't recall seeing a time where brethren were at such odds over issues like they are in this day.

What happened to us?!

The United Pentecostal Church International was built on diversity...they banked EVERYTHING on not contending for their different views to the disunity of the Body.

What happened to us?!

How did we get to this place that 62 years after The Merger some on both sides of this are thinking of separating/breaking fellowship, and over what...the right to advertise?!

I do not understand...

I don't know about you, but my heart longs to bring back the day of walking together in unity, for the sake of unity.

I don't know...perhaps I am just whistling in the graveyard and no one is listening, but is it all worth heated words and bitter hearts?!

Those who leave...will they be better off for having done so?! I'm not saying there isn't life after the UPCI...heavens no, but I am asking if leaving under these conditions will benefit anyone...can they not find the common ground on which to build?!

I just don't know...
