    Protestantism is a sin....

    Like the George Clark Rankin story given I sensed Christ and the Holy Spirit in the experience. If I could sense spirituality like in the testimony just given in a Catholic Church I would have more of an interest in attending.

    Protestantism is a sin....

    As we drove home I did not have much to say, but I listened attentively to the conversation between my uncle and his wife. They were greatly impressed with the meeting, and they spoke first of this one and that one who had "come through" and what a change it would make in the community, as many...

    Protestantism is a sin....

    I was once lost. I found my way similar to the testimony of George Clark Rankin 150 years before me… "Grandfather was kind to me and considerate of me, yet he was strict with me. I worked along with him in the field when the weather was agreeable and when it was inclement I helped him in his...

    Protestantism is a sin....

    The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto...

    Biblical Mary

    As Christ could see into the future so he gave the last word on what he would see as seven churches. The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou...

    Message... Conviction... Altar Call

    The Bob Jones University did a movie on the late Robert Sheffey, in which, I hope it was remembered, “He could say the oddest things, hold the most unique interviews with God, break forth in the most unexpected spasms of praise, use the homeliest illustrations, do the funniest things and go...

    Protestantism is a sin....

    I believe the churches were birthed in the ages. As I believe all these churches are Christian churches I do not mind to visit or read into them. I also believe that as these churches are birthed in ages, that changes could occur within a movement. A Baptist church, for example, can be...

    Camp Meeting in Virginia around the old, Methodist Episcopal Church South mourners bench! Dear to me is this chapter of the book because I experienced so much of the wonderful things the author talks about in this work! The Life of George Clark Rankin, who himself became a circuit rider, and...

    Message... Conviction... Altar Call

    I made a video of a cassette tape from the 1970's that I bought while attending one of those GARBC revivals where there was a good message, conviction, and then the trip to the altar for prayer. I had invited a friend and he said that he had also went to the altar after the message where he had...

    Message... Conviction... Altar Call

    I was born in Camp Lejeune NC and spent part of the 1970's in Michigan. When we moved there my dad bought me a motorcycle and I would spend my weekends trailblazing the countryside. One Sunday morning I was riding up the hill and turned around to almost run into a church bus. The bus doors open...

    Biblical Mary

    And… I would imagine the Mother Mary as having an honorable place in heaven. What that is I have no idea. And I have also wondered if she has not communicated with those on earth since her departure.

    Biblical Mary

    47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my...

    Biblical Mary

    I have no command in scripture to worship any other than God the Father. And I come to him in Jesus name. Regarding the worship of Mary I see no access to the Heavenly Father through her.
