An unchanging God in changing times....

If you are a regular visitor to our daily blog, you are well aware of the changes that are taking place in the Church of God of Prophecy. In our General Assembly that was conducted in Nashville, Tennessee this past month, the business sessions went well beyond the time originally allotted for on the program. This was because there seemed to be an overwhelming consensus to accept the reports that were presented to the delegates, however, a small number of delegates felt convinced that the reports should not be accepted as corrected.

After multiple attempts to gain one accord, the General Overseer felt it necessary to request a “leadership expression” from the State and National Presiding Bishops. After this expression, the voice of those objecting was removed by the General Overseer, and the report passed.

Let me say first of all, that I am in full agreement with the reports that were passed, and I am convinced that what the committee presented was biblically sound and presented the ministry of the Church of God of Prophecy with a more practical theological approach to the subjects covered.

Beginning this week, I will be meeting with the ministry and leaders of the church in Tennessee to explain to them what this report means, and how it is to be implemented within our churches and ministries across the state. My first meeting will be at the Lennox Church of God of Prophecy located in West Tennessee. I am extending a cordial invitation to anyone who would like to attend. The meeting will be at 2:30 p.m., September 17, 2006.

I am convinced that the greatest days of the church are just ahead of us. God is looking for someone who will trust Him....I want to be that person, how about you?

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...

A new convert?

I just learned, that we may have converted a "roll-tide" Alabama fan! You decide.

New Church Organized

It is always a tremendous thrill to announce the establishment of a new church. This post shares a little about our latest. On January 30, 2011 I met with the people of the Capilla De La Victoria (Victory Chapel) in Cleveland, Tennessee for the purpose of organizing and establishing what had been a mission work for well over two years. Previously, this group had met under the direction of Cliff Anderson in a part of the Peerless Road Complex. Pastor Tim Coalter (now State Presiding Bishop of South Carolina) shared with the congregation a vision of that local church planting two churches in the United States. We then joined in a partnership with the Tennessee State Office to share in the cost of rent and other needs for a period of two years. Since the inception of the idea, there were several changes. Pastor Cliff Anderson felt the need of a change and Pastor Tim Coalter was appointed to serve in another ministry. At this time Omar Velazquez agreed to assume the leadership of th...
