It was nice to have seen Zac Poonen 30 minutes into this weekend’s North Indian conference. In which his message was… For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. – Jeremiah 29:11 And he emphasized the...

Today's word with Zac... Abraham was childless when given these names... Strong's H87 -Abram = "Exalted Father" Strong's H85 -Abraham = "Father of a Multitude" It must have felt silly to have advertised such a name with an elderly and barren wife

He never called us to abandon our fellowship either... Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. - Hebrews 10:25... Too many turning to electronic media these days!

God uses the weak and the foolish...

We are all heretical... Including Jesus... In the eyes of somebody else. We have members here who believe we are heretical for not going along with their eschatology.

Methodist type revivals have come and gone ever since. Remembering Weseleys foundations... The Holy Club... And wondering if we shouldn't get these type clubs started again... University wits styled them the "Holy Club" or "Methodists", a title of derision. They were dismissed as "enthusiasts"...

I don't care if the whole world rejects it I will continue to believe... But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.- John 14;26 23 Verily, verily, I...

A true Methodist Revival is a wonderful thing. It is too bad they can't keep it going. Here is a story on the old Cripple Creek camp meeting in Wythe County, Virginia. I have traveled up and down the Cripple Creek and nobody knows a thing about this camp meeting... I passed my examinations and...

Zac telling how he was led to remain single... Until he met his doctor wife... And impressed that she worked among the sick for no money...

Happy in the midst of it all...

And the Lord's Prayer begins... Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. - Luke 11:2 Thy will be done... Not... Our will be done. Dealing with self-willed people can be a terrible thing!

I do personally enjoy the old hymnal. But, like @Matthias , when i do see them, they look like they have been unopened for hundreds of years.

Going back in time I would have avoided the "Old Hen" talk... That generally begins with... * I have a problem with.... In which they are just as bad in their accusations as everyone else. Its like... Yikes! Run fer yer lives! Head for the hills!

The two most important figures in the church... 1. The Senior Pastor 2. The Worship Leader I would say this makes up the two great trumpets... Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the...

It is my experience that the church changes from decade to decade. With a new generation comes new stuff. I would say that most of the old hymns in hymnals were from earlier church ages.
