General Assembly Anniversary, 104th Year

This morning I attended the 104th anniversary of the General Assemblies of the Church of God movement. What a blessing it is to return to the site of something special God began just a few generations ago. 104-years-ago 21 delegates gathered to find the will of God and to be accountable to one another. Today, over 10 million people across the globe trace their roots to this site. This number does NOT include the millions who have already gone on to their reward.

The service was moderated by Bishop Wayne Allen, caretaker of the Fields of the Wood, along with special singing, comments by our General Overseer, Bishop Randall Howard and the message by Bishop John A. Stone, the pastor of Keith Street Ministries in Cleveland. Bishop Stone shared a message on "HOLINESS" that should be heard by everyone in our movement. We were also blessed by members of the Murphy Church of God (Cleveland Assembly) who ministered with music.

After the celebration, delegates of this anniversary service gathered again at the cafe in Fields of the Wood.

This year, I represented the people of Tennessee, and Bishop Billy Adams represented the people of Georgia and Bishop Tim Coalter represented the people of South Carolina. Many of our International Offices department leaders were in attendance at this special gathering as well.

We are so blessed to stand on the shoulders of Godly men and women in the generations before us, and by God's grace we will fulfill their vision to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

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 question about your church...

This last few days I have been in the State of Kentucky. I came here with my wife, whose father was having medical tests as of the results of a probable heart attack. He seems to be doing well (as of tonight) and is scheduled for one more test, then hopefully he will be released and further treatments to bring him to health. While this is a scary moment for my wife's family it has also been a time to step away from the daily work and observe others around us. Since Debra's father is a pastor (Church of God of Prophecy, Central City, KY) there have been visits from the State Presiding Bishop, Scott Gillum, area pastors and of course some of his church members. It is heartening to watch the love and concern that is show by those visiting. There has also been quite a few of Debra's extended family here, along with her younger brother and his family. I've watch the nurses and technicians at the Owensboro Medical Center demonstrate concern and what seems to be good care...

On my way to a resurrection

Someone asked, "Are you on your way to another funeral?" My answer was, "No, I am on my way to a resurrection." Tonight, after having preached my sister's funeral, two church members funerals and visiting a friend whose brother had passed away, I had a little quiet time in my home office. As I often do, I reach for an old book I've found that some books written long ago can speak to my heart. This time, it was a book published in 1946. This passage from J.B. Chapman touched my heart, hope it does yours too. Victor Hugo exclaimed, "The frosts of seventy winters are on my head, but the springtime of eternal youth is in my heart." "Sometimes we look at the gray hair of a ripening saint, and say, "Old man, the frosts of many winters are on your head." But he answers, "That is not frost. I am getting ready to wear the crown of life, and my hair is taking on tint agreeable to the color scheme." We say, "Ol...
