Ok, no one has really helped me so far. Where do I draw lines? Or is that something I just decide for myself??  I just really don't know and I need a guide.

Well, it seems there is a parallel between yours, Renda's and the Mrs. posts indicating to me that when folks make the statement that the UPC is getting more and more worldly, essentially what they are saying is that they are losing their cultural differentiation from not only mainstream religion, but mainstream society?
Is that necessarily worldly as in EGYPT=World=Sin?

Who can have and maintain your walk with God better than you can? Your lines are or should be drawn through your own prayer life, reading scripture, and your communion with the Lord Jesus, sans any peer or societal pressure from any direction.

Try the Bible.

anyway, those are the scripts I have....and they are KJV....but they pretty much say the same thing in the other versions......
God bless ya Sis.
