If I could lay out an example of a Philadelphian church age service I would do it here in a thread I just posted in... Revival among Confederate troops during Civil War

When evening came I was ready for Church service and was glad to go. It required no urging. Another large crowd was present and the preacher was as earnest as ever. I did not give much heed to the sermon. In fact, I do not recall a word of it. I was anxious for him to conclude and give me a...

After the team had been fed and we had been to supper we put the mules to the wagon, filled it with chairs and we were off to the meeting. When we reached the locality it was about dark and the people were assembling. Their horses and wagons filled up the cleared spaces and the singing was...

It was not long until I was in the road and making tracks across the country to where my uncle lived. It was in 1866 and the marks of Sherman's march to the sea were everywhere visible. The country was very much out of repair and all around Dalton the earth was marked with breastworks. Every...

@canadyjd @AustinC ... Glad these generalizations are not obvious in your parts of the world. Be blessed in your work and ministry.

I wish I were in error! I remember the older generations who would tell me they had something that would take them to heaven. And smile a little as they said it. I have often wondered where the carnality of many will take them these days. While at the latest Baptist sponsored breakfast l...

It is nice when a Christian Spirit accompanies the professed experience.... My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you... - Galatians 4:19

Stories... My dads side of the family is from the north. Sometimes I will listen into unshackled and find someone brought up in a family where the dad is cold, temperamental, and physically abusive to his family. I can relate. It is also amazing that these folks will also confess an experience...

God’s Blessings on you as well. I believe during these post Covid times it is going to be challenging to see churches returned to doing well as in times past. This past week we just saw a large local church sold to turn into apartment buildings.. Buyer of Roanoke's Calvary Baptist Church plans...

John Wesley was almost in despair after a disasterous trip to America and loosing his dad. He did not have the faith to continue to preach. When death stared him in the face, he was fearful and found little comfort in his religion. To Peter Böhler, a Moravian friend, he confessed his growing...

The Apostle Paul said... "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." - 1 Corinthians 15:33 I have been 50 years in the Christian religion. The most amazing thing to me is that we can have wonderful and terrible people all within the same doctrinal mindset. Yes... It is nice to...
