Wel.....I guess bedtime is bedtime!
Were you there for the split before Rex came? I had a niece dating a guy from there during all that and she would come back from church with really sad stories.
She said the half the church supporting the pastor would stand up when he said to,etc and the half against him would ignore him and sit on him.
I can't imagine what a visitor would have thought. Rex came into a really tough situation and has done fantastic there. A very happy ending for that church.

Why not have a scripture for EVERYTHING even if the context is completely inaccurate?
When do we grow up and begin to use the tools that God has equipped us with and empowered us to use in our own walk with HIM?

Carp, People today want Proof for everything. They want scriptural backing for every little guideline. we live in a "prove it to " society. A lot of kids today have no home training let alone much common sense.
Yes, a lot of people go by the guidelines of "polite society" but we can't base our lives on what societal norms alone. the more society becomes secualrized, the church will be even more persecuted and peculiar and that's setting aside just dress and appearance

Visitor probably thought they went to a re-enactment of the State of the Union address.

Uh, yes - for the whole nine yards!
I learned more about the power of God through that horrible time than any time in my life.

I went to the Assemblies of God web-page and he isn't part of the leadership anymore. Must have retired.
I got lots of questions about who he was, if he was a preacher...etc.
It was pretty funny.

Oh, sorry, just saw this. This isn't how it went, actually. At least, I don't remember this happening. They did wear scarfs over the arms of their jackets and in their hair to support him - like a rebel army.

I used to think it was you. I thought - Wow, he's a nice looking man, he shouldn't post his picture on a forum.
