I'm glad you found yourself a nice place to do what you are called to do. Not everyone is as fortunate. Personally, I can't wait to get outta this one horse town, but that's a whole 'nuther story.

So you are saying that AFF is a ministry to the elderly and "shut in"?

Titus2woman on AFF
"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."

Before you laugh, let me tell you that...
1. I have met some of my best friends on AFF. In other words, the relationships formed here have spilled over into my REAL life.
2. I have had my beliefs challenged and, yes, even strengthened because of AFF.
3. I have used snippets of posts from AFF in my sermons quite often.
People often laugh when the suggestion is made that AFF is influential.
I beg to differ. I think what we do matters. I think what we post matters.
I think there are literally thousands of people who read but never post here.
Do you disagree with me?

Well, I've really enjoyed it for the most part. I've met some really nice people here, even though I disagree with most. Also, when I read many of the legalistic arguments on here, it makes me thankful that I'm no longer affiliated with the UPCI.  Did I say that??? lol

And then Darcie came to stay!!! And Renda became one of our saints! I have some other forum members who visit our church igcognito, from time to time, but I won't reveal them.
I have argued and studied many issues on here. I have become stronger on some things and I have learned to be more tolerant of those who disagree with me on others. I hope God has taught me to be move loving to everyone through this experience.

Thankfully, I have my magic dust repeller hat on today.
Seriously, though, I have you guys on my list of churches I'd like to come visit eventually. The home group we started has visiting other churches as part of the things we'd like to do, once finances make it possible. Right now we are all fighting to keep our heads above water, (pretty much like everyone else), but the wife and I would like to set money aside just for visiting other churches. We're very excited about doing this home meeting thing, but we still want to be able to come experience the traditional type of church service too. There's a sister from this board, who shall remain nameless, that has invited us to her church. Her church is first on our list of churches to visit. She's only a couple of hours away from here, so we can swing that on a Sunday and still make it home at a decent enough hour.
