The Structures of Freedom - Sermon by Dan Scott
Regardless of what stripe of Pentecostal you are I strongly urge you to watch or listen to this past Sunday's sermon titled "Structures of Freedom" by Christ Church Nashivlle pastor Dan Scott.
It is not a doctrinal message in the sense that there should be nothing to offend the most conservative to the most liberal Pentecostal / Apostolic but there is tremendous truth spoken regarding the origins of our great Country.
Dan said that he normally would not devote an entire sermon to government and has not in the past but could not get away from it when preparing for service yesterday, the Sunday before July 4th.
I was at the early service and the webcast / podcast typically is of the 2nd service but it should be the same sermon.
I would urge you to take the time to listen or watch and once you do you probably will want your kids to do the same if they are old enough to understand the subject.
I am pasting a link to the sermon page at the Christ Church Website. It is the June 29 service.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: The Structures of Freedom
*BUMP*
LOL!!! I knew ths was the worst title for a thread I believe I have ever seen but it was the name of the sermon I thought was one every American should hear so I went with it.
Now I wish I had spent a few minutes come up with some catchy title since only a few people have read the thread and zero responded.
Of course I know when I read a thread like this I usually don't respond until I have a chance to check the thing out someone is recommending and that can take days.
Who knows, someone might actually watch or listen to the sermon at some point!

Re: The Structures of Freedom

Re: The Structures of Freedom - Sermon by Dan Scot
I had never heard "Shackles Off My Feet" sang with absolutely no soul before, but apparently there were many who liked the vanilla version of that song.  I don't mean to sound critical, so forgive me. The music and sermon felt dry and lacked the power and demonstration I have grown accustomed to in more "traditional" Pentecostal churches.
Dan Scott did have some good points and shared some interesting historical facts about our country.

One man's treasure........
One of the great things about America and it's traditions is that being a free country you don't have to attend, listen to, or watch a church that doesn't shockamoo up to your standard. Sorry you didn't like it but this choir and church have been a tremendous blessing to me. My expectations are different than yours apparently though. I don't have to have a choir jukin and jiving (although it is fun to watch) to feel the presence of God in a song.
Nor do I have to have a preacher screaming at me with "holy breath" to be impacted by a sermon.
