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. |
I would recommend that you add the Promiseland Church in Austin, Texas to your list to visit around Christmas time. When I was there during this last Christmas Holiday season I thought of you and had a good chuckle since I counted 15 Christmas trees on the platform and around the building.

"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."

Recently, I have made a decision to be a little more careful about who I consider a brother or sister in the Lord, though. I know it sounds harsh, but there are some things I will never accept as being things God accepts, so I have to draw lines somewhere in the sand. There's a scripture I came across a few days ago that's been on mind quite a bit.
Romans 15:7 (KJV)
7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
That word "received" means to accept. So, I am using that as a new standard for my posting life. If I believe God has accepted someone, then I too will accept them. If I feel like God hasn't accepted someone, then neither will I accept them. The tricky part is going to be in deciding whether God has accepted someone or not.

Hehehehe! Good thing I am too far away from Austin. Walkin into a church with a chain saw in hand, ready to cut down them Christmas trees, could get a feller shot in Texas! Hmmmmmm. I wonder if that would make me a martyr for the cause.

Re: How Has AFF Impacted Your Life?
It's impacted my time mostly. I'm a lot better now as
far as managing it with the forum though.
I've gained some friends from FCF and later
lost a few of those friends
The forums have made me think a little harder
about my belief system and brush up scripture
on a few subjects.
there are some doctrines I had never heard before
coming to the forum. PCI for instance. Seriously, I thought
EVERYONE that called themselves "APOSTOLIC" was
Acts 2:28 til I came here
