The Structures of Freedom - Sermon by Dan Scott

[Carpenter]

I listened and downloaded a few other sermons and services and I though it was interesting how Dan Scott made reference to Brother Stairs passing and Brother Hardwick spending time with Brother Gurley.

Very few if any realize who those people are in CC right?

CC, just curious, Dan Scott's dad was a missionary to Mexico correct? I believe my FIL is/was friends with him. Is elder Scott still alive? Does anyone else on here know?

I believe they were Missionaries to South America.

I believe Dan's dad was a missionary to either Peru or someplace like that. Dan has spent right at half his life living overseas as either a missionary kid or a missionary himself.

Is father is still alive and I believe still a UPC pastor.

The last I heard, Dan's folks were in Missouri but that could've changed.

Dan's dad did some geneology research for an aunt and uncle of mine and my great-great-grandfather was married to a relative of theirs. The reason I bring that up is because her name was a very appropriate name for the 4th of July. Her name was AMERICA.

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.
