    I am John Wesley Methodist

    "When the mastery cometh the God of Love anon beateth his wings... and farewell! He is gone!" - Chaucer I am a John Wesley Methodist... I will always be this way of heart. However, in looking over the Methodist revivals I find much sorrow in that their revivals are of such short duration. I...

    The Hope in John Calvin

    The five points, as they are stated in order to form the acrostic TULIP, are: total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints. Perseverance of the Saints - Or, OSAS. I think this is damnable doctrine for those who think that they...

    AN EPISTLE TO ALL THE SLOTHFUL AND CARELESS PEOPLE

    Object. But if I should set in, and run as you would have me, then I must run from all my friends; for none of them are running that way. Answ. And if thou dost, thou wilt run into the bosom of Christ and of God, and then what harm will that do thee? Object. But if I run this way, then I must...

    AN EPISTLE TO ALL THE SLOTHFUL AND CARELESS PEOPLE

    AN EPISTLE TO ALL THE SLOTHFUL AND CARELESS PEOPLE. Friends, Solomon saith, that The desire of the slothful killeth him; and if so, what will slothfulness itself do to those that entertain it? (Prov 21:25). The proverb is, He that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame (Prov 10:5)...

    The Hope in John Calvin

    So the question I would have is, "At what point can we declare someone eternally saved?" "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you," - Galatians 4:19 My answer would be the moment Christ is formed within the character.

    The Hope in John Calvin

    I think the once saved always saved doctrine can be a dangerous thing for this generation. To repeat the above post... "I have worked many years at a large factory making samples and as a lab technician. Most of the older Baptists I know who are now over 60 behave like Christians and it has...

    The Hope in John Calvin

    I have worked many years at a large factory making samples and as a lab technician. Most of the older Baptists I know who are now over 60 behave like Christians and it has been a delight to have known them. I can look into their character and find good things. I have no problems with them saying...

    The Hope in John Calvin

    I met a lady at work who I thought was right for me. She is a Baptist girl and thinks she is saved... But the more that girl talked.... Come to find out she does not see anything wrong with the partying life or to have sex with different partners. One day I confronted her with this and said...

    Like a story from a JRR Tolkien novel

    I have made a video that is suppose to be read as a book with all the adventures of a JRR Tolkien novel. I hope the sermon is not too much, if it is please turn the volume down...

    Have we all become Laodicean?

    Two things that must happen before Christ's return... Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; - 2 Thessalonians 2:3 1. A great falling away 2. The revealing of the...

    Have we all become Laodicean?

    Two notable things have happened in this Laodicean age.... 1. The worship has gone charismatic 2. People don't care much about doctrine these days. I doubt most people know who John Calvin or Jacobus Arminius are, much less have a discussion about them. I visited a local charismatic church a...

    Have we all become Laodicean?

    I have met many here in South Western Virginia who believe that they got off the ark Pentecostal Holiness as that is all they knew. I would tell them that there were other congregations before the PH church, but I just smile a little.

    Have we all become Laodicean?

    I believe Branham was on the right track, until he made himself head of the Laodicean church. Now if you are not a Branhamite you are in disobedience. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and...

    The Second Coming, the Trumpet Blasts, the Bowls of Wrath, and Inheriting the Earth

    If I had to pick an end time date I would go with the scientist, Isaac Newton... “And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times...

    The Philadelphia age revival

    I believe that the Baptist church can encompass three ages... 1. Sardis - They can be incredibly rigid on the doctrine 2. Phildadelphia - They can be a revived church 3. Laodicea - They can be just as bad as everyone else in this lukewarm day and time. I was brought up in the GARBC Baptist...

    The Philadelphia age revival

    I miss this breed of man! The rarest character I ever met in my life I met at that campmeeting in the person of Rev. Robert Sheffy, known as "Bob" Sheffy. He was recognized all over Southwest Virginia as the most eccentric preacher of that country. He was a local preacher; crude, illiterate...

    The Philadelphia age revival

    That was new to me, yet it had been my state of mind from childhood. For I remembered that away back in my early life, when the old preacher held services in my grandmother's house one day and opened the door of the Church, I went forward and gave him my hand. He was to receive me into full...

    The Philadelphia age revival

    Early the next morning I was up and in a serious frame of mind. I went with the other hands to the cottonfield and at noon I slipped off in the barn and prayed. But the more I thought of the way those young people were moved in the meeting and with what glad hearts they had shouted their praises...
