    The first Pope was a married Priest

    I do like to visit churches when I visit the Polynesia. For one thing they keep the churches full of flowers and open. Pictured below is the Catholic church at Bora-Bora and Tahiti. All of which has the images of Christ done up reverently along with crowns of flowers. The church at Bora Bora has...

    The first Pope was a married Priest

    If Peter was the first pope he was a married one.... And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. - Matthew 8:14-15 And forthwith, when they were come...

    Baptist... The closest thing the Baptist Church comes to revival is in their Christian conferences. I believe there is equal danger of losing the ability to put together quality Christian conference. Just as our church lost the ability to put together quality revival. In which the Apostle Paul...

    I miss my old pastors ministry

    Old Dallas, pictured above, would encourage me as a young man to stay in revival. The last words I remembered him saying before he died was there were no more revivals! It is amazing to me that for all the education preachers have lost the art of good revival! Our old pastor would have many...

    I miss my old pastors ministry

    You can sense if you read the GC Rankin story, of the Methodist revivals dissipating away as he came to age as a preacher. This can also be said as true in my life, I have sensed the revivals coming to an end in my lifetime. The passion of the events just described are no longer there.
