Jimmy said that after Jerry Lee hit it big, he sent his dad to talk to Jimmy about a contract recoding Christian music. He told Jimmy everything was set all he had to do was sign the contract and come to an agreement on money, with Sun Records. He said you can be driving a brand new Cadillac...

You put me to thinking about the piano, who it reminds of. I would have to say after watching him most of my adult life, the piano brings to mind Jimmy Swaggart. He could play it better than anyone I have ever seen but in a spiritual way. I heard him say that he and Jerry Lee used to play...

Not trying to hijack the thread, just a quick story Jimmy Swaggart told about him and Jerry Lee while I have it on mind, Jimmy said he was a struggling evangelist in those days never knowing if had enough money for gas to make it to the next meeting, and driving a worn out piece of junk that...

Was that to extreme for you, Salty?

That's extreme even for IFB.

I always liked Jimmy Swaggarts style of preaching and listened to him quite often. He and Jerry Lee Lewis were 1st cousins and hung out together up until adulthood. Often in his sermons he spoke of the old days when he and Jerry Lee would beat the path. That's where I learned that, along...

Hey, Jon, talking about the piano in worship, did you know that Jerry Lee Lewis went to school to become a preacher? He was kicked out of that university for playing the piano in rock n roll fashion and influencing others in the same. I wonder if that general rule would be followed today in...

At least we met the deadline on not letting the sun go down on our anger. lol I can't help that I'm from the old school and do my best to separate myself from all appearance of evil. I can plainly see how the rock beat has taken control of some Churches to the point of ruination. That's just...

If you can't "nip in the bud" as some of us IFB are doing, giving no ground to seducing spirits, at least monitor the music in your Church, Jon. When you see it reach another level it's time to speak up and bring it to the attention of the leaders of the Church. Guard yourself, and don't let...

The only thing I've found useful with AI is when I can't remember where a particular verse is located. I can remember a phase from the verse and enter that into AI and most of the time there it is, exactly what I was looking for. It quicker than referring to my notes or concordance. Other...

I heard a preacher not long ago that said Biblical heresy's usually come in pairs. It's just the nature of heresy. If you're a Preterist most likely your also a Universalist. But there are a few exceptions.

Acts 1:11 says, "this same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen Him go to heaven." That ain't happened yet! The majority of believers are still looking for a physical return. But there's no arguing with you guys, it's just one of those...

It started out with Christian rock concerts. Just as the Jews got caught up in the ritual, the performing of the ritual, Christians got caught up in the popular rock beat. Very few if any go to these concerts for a spiritual blessing, but rather a physical blessing, as maybe Bon Jovi or some of...

This is not the best example of God rejecting music but it's one that I can remember where God rejects the music for a particular reason. In Amos 5:21-24 God says that He hates their feast days and the burnt offerings and He will not hear their music and songs any longer. The problem was the...

He ascended in a physical body but energized by the Holy Spirit not blood. At the ascension the angel told the disciples He would return in like manner. So why should we believe His return is not physical?

No, please don't do Mr. Rogers to me. I like the fire in JonC much better.

KJVO and PSA are not leading the worship services in most Churches today. Comparing apples and oranges there, Jon. We'll be ok if we don't let the sun go down on our anger. So I guess that means we can be angry until tomorrow afternoon at sunset.

LOL, well I'm sure it's something wrong on my end.

Well, we both stand ready to face Him then.

You're an intelligent man, knowing the difference in the hymns of old and the rock beat of this world. Shame on you JonC, and I say that with the Lord as my witness.
