    Bored over the things of a God

    These revivals were preserved for me to enjoy in exact methods from Methodist to Holiness to Pentecostal. I find, however that the busyness of the farm life helped keep them alive and much dies away with the introduction of things of modern society. People tend to get bored with the things of...

    Bored over the things of a God

    After we went home I tossed on the bed before going to sleep and wondered why God did not do for me what he had done for mother and what he was doing in that meeting for those young people at the altar. I could not understand it. But I resolved to keep on trying, and so dropped off to sleep. The...

    Bored over the things of a God

    When George Clark Rankin arrived at his uncles as a teenager he describes his uncle as a farmer like Dallas in whom I just described... In the course of an hour I was at my uncle's. He was surprised to see me, but gave me a cordial welcome. The first thing he did was to disarm me, and that ended...

    Bored over the things of a God

    Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good. -...

    Ten arguments for intelligent design

    Also to note, while on vacation, was on how unhealthy so many people looked. This also has caused me to look into the overall health of cells and how the organs such as the kidneys cleanse the blood to make the overall body healthy. I have also read an article on what foods to avoid for the good...

    Ten arguments for intelligent design

    So... What instigated this thread? I have just returned from vacation where I spent time at Dollywood's Splash Country and then drove south to a Camp meeting there in Georgia. The first day in Gatlinburg went good. The next day caused a severe dry eye and skin rash. I am a Lab Technician who...

    "...disdain for Christianity within the Hollywood film industry."

    I visited Papette, Tahiti, and toured the town. When commenting of some of the trouble there my touring guide said that the Polynesian people are normally very sweet and they got their evil ways by watching American movies. My thoughts were that God is going to hold Hollywood very much...

    Ten arguments for intelligent design

    The body needs a clean blood supply with the correct sugar levels to keep 40 billion cells alive. Which caused God to declare in the very long ago (1300 BC) and to an ancient people, "For the life of the flesh is in the blood" - Leviticus 17 And... For the life of the flesh is in the blood...

    Ten arguments for intelligent design

    The brain has comparable storage to a 100 gigabyte hard drive. Today's hard drives are in measured in terabytes. A terabyte is 10 times the 100 gigabyte. If the human brain acts more like RAM memory, most computers contain about 10 gigabytes RAM, or a tenth of the brains compatible storage. I...

    Ten arguments for intelligent design

    The specifics of creation.... 1. The human brain contains 100 billion brain cells 2. 2 million brain cells die every minute 3. 14 billion synapses, the vital intersections between neurons Die every minute 4. The brain has top priority for blood, just like RAM memory needs electricity in a...

    The Works Based Salvation - Whats the big deal?

    I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. - Romans 12:1 The reasonable service - 1. Presentable Christian Life 2. Holy and acceptable to God. And James goes on to...

    The Need to Hang With Holiness Folk

    Yes! Very true! Just a little of the proud condescending spirit, in the words of the Apostle Paul leavens the whole lump and is not good! How George Clark Rankin picked up his salvation in North Georgia in the mid-1800's, which is how I picked it up as well.... The Life of George Clark Rankin I...

    The Need to Hang With Holiness Folk

    RW Schambach would recommend holiness... And then go on to say in one sermon, "There are a lot of devils in those Holiness churches." So it is important to stress the variety of Holiness taught here, which I believe this gathering is a good type of Holiness. In which this one is more of the...

    The Need to Hang With Holiness Folk

    There are no more true Holiness folk in my area. I believe I am going to drive down to Flovilla, GA and catch the camp meeting down there later this week. http://indianspringscampmeeting.org/

    The Works Based Salvation - Whats the big deal?

    I know too many churches in my area on death watches. In other words, there are about a dozen elderly folk in the congregation and the talk when one of them goes missing is, "I wonder what happened to sister so-and so?" And the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli. And the word of...

    The Works Based Salvation - Whats the big deal?

    "Without being born again and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, there is no ability to do the things of God." Well said and I agree.... The next question begs.... And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding...

    The Works Based Salvation - Whats the big deal?

    Most churches I hang around are not into what they call a works based salvation and generally frown on such an idea. But, to my annoyance.... 1. Nobody wants to pray 2. There are no more revivals 3. Hard to find good musicians 4. Hard to organize youth activities 5. Church attendance is...

    I am a Crackpot

    I used to be a party guy as a teenager. Pictured below is farmer I would work for in the hay field... Dallas would shout at work, shout in the hay field, and shout in church. He would also speak in tongues and run the aisles. He and his wife would operate a dairy farm and he would also work at...
