Will it Happen?

Can these 150 men composing a committe of action stand up and be counted to up hold the minutes of the General Assembly. I am praying that they will be able to lead us beyound and empass on the Realocation of Funds. If something is not done with this opportunity it will NEVER HAPPEN. If you know any of these men write to them or email them to stand strong and be lead by the Holy Spirit as well as their own heart in dealing with the all important time in our Church. We cannot afford to let this opportunity pass to make us a more of a missional church. Pray hard and talk to everyone in your cipher of influnce.

John D. Nichols Goes to Heaven

John Nichols was a giant in the Church of God. I will personally miss him very much. I will never forget the day he just popped into my office. I was supprised that he came but delighted. I hope you will join with me in praying for Norene and their daughter.
The day he came into my office I told him that I had always voted for him in the General Assembly. That is just how much confidence I had in him. He always knew me where he saw me; not like others who was my friend when it was convient for them.
I will miss John D. Nichols!

General Overseer Dr. Culpepper taking Right Steps

General Overseer Dr. Raymond Culpepper is taking the right steps by going out of Cleveland and listening to the pastors and members in the field. If it does not do anything else it will make them feel like someone really cares about what they are doing.
I personally believe he is really concerned and wants to hear what we have to say. It will remain to be seen if it will have any affect on what comes from the Executive Committee. I have always liked Dr. Culpepper so I am somewhat biased in my opinions.
One of the biggest things we need in the Church of God is a Church wide health care program for all our ministers but especially for those who are retired and living on meger incomes. They have given their lives for this church and deserve all the help they get. They deserve more recognition for their labors also. I know many retired ministers who have given their lives for this church. They never pastor what we call a "limit paying church" but always worked a secular job in order to support their ministry. I deeply love and appreciate all of them. That is why I full support from myself and my church all the programs for them. Especially at Christmas time when it seems like they are all forgotten.
Thank you Dr. Culpepper for listening!

The World of Politics

This past week has been a whirl wind in the political world. Putting it middle for me I am really disappointed in the so called stemulis plan the president has pushed through congress. To put it midly he has misled the nation with what was suppost to be a jobs program turned into a hugh pork and spending bill which Obama said he would veto any bill that had one line of pork in it. Not this one! He claims it as a monumental victory that he has put our children and grandchildren into debt for all their lives. It is all just a lie from the pit of hell. Obama keeps conviently mentioning his supposed love for Christ. This can't be so with the deception he had put forth on this country with this bill. I will never vote for him!!

What a weekend!1

This was a great weekend for Garden Cathedral. Two (2) received the Lord into their lives and several were healed. What a great God we are serving. This was a great way to start of our 21 Day Daniels Fast. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
I look foward to seeing what God will do Wednesday night. The spirit of prayer and fasting is prement everywhere. Praise God for His marvelous blessing to all of us.
We kicked of the Daniels Fast with a bang and look forward to many great things happening. If you have an unsaved loveone you would like for us to pray for put the names in the comments section of this blog. We look forward to seeing you in the next service and experienceing the great move of God at Garden Cathedral.

Some Progress

It is great to welcome our General Overseer to the realm of blogging. I am sure he will have some great and insightful things to share with us. I am one the believe that there can never be to much communication between leadership the the followers.
So I look forward to his post to gain insight and wisdom for ministry. He has a vivid background in pastoral ministry. When he was elected it was good to see a pastor elevated to the office of General Overseer. I expect great things from him and from all of us for that matter.

Happy New Year!

Well here we are at the end of 2008! Who said we would not make it. Just think your car has depreciated by $1000.00 and you will be, after Wednesday night, be waring last years style of cloths. The big question is will your heart make any changes? I hope that all who read this blog will engage themselves in a desparate attempt to draw nearer to God than ever before in your life. You are worth it to God to be better than what you have been. We all can love Him more and do more than we have been doing.
I look forward to hearing of the great things God is doing in your life.
