Jude 2

True story. Several years ago when I was pastoring the COGOP in New Albany, one of the first changes I made was instructing our treasurer to pay our tithes to the GH and I (as I always had) paid my tithes faithfully to the RO. We chose a Harvest Partner and gave our second Sunday offering to our par...

Site looks good- but a major pet peeve of mine regarding church websites- where is the phone #?

2 Tim 4:5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

the Bible could not be more clear that manifestations of the holy spirit are gifts given to the believer.... 1 Cor 12:1 Now about the gifts of the Spirit... 1 Cor 12:4 There are different kinds of gifts ... and that...1 Cor 12:7 ...to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common ...

Daryls/Shelly- ur not over reacting. As far as I am concerned, it is blasphemy to use God's name in vain. I'm not judging Chucky Chandler or anyone else's heart, but we have taught our children (just like you Daryl) that it is worse to use God's name like that than to blurt out some cuss word (we do...

Matthew 7: 1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Luke 13: 1 Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? 3 I tell you, no! But unless...

I strongly reccomend it, but since there is no biblical requirement for it, I don't require it.

Paul- I would like to discuss your ministry with you sometime soon and if there are any opportunity to get involved in fund raising. You can emais me @ pastorsamsmith@hotmail.com if you would like to talk to me.

God Bless You- Sam Smith

I am still licensed with the COGOP (as far as I know). I think the reccomendations sound solid. In my opinion however, the FOTW should be sold outright. The COGOP track record in for-profit development of business entities is too poor to reasonably expect development of the property to succeed. God ...

There are only two problems with any marriage...husbands and wives...

UPS employees have a great discount with sprint. We have 5 lines, unlimited text and 1500 anytime minutes (which we never come close to using) for 99.00 per month. We got rid of our prepaid phones and land lines. Why get a contract depends on use and what contracts are available plus the prices of t...

There would be no "merging" with the COG; the COG would simply absorb, or take over the COGOP.

Tim- in our society today, I sincerely wonder at times how much preaching has become more the ministry of Jeremiah than much else- in other words, calling out judgment on people by proclaiming that what they're going to do no matter what you say, is sin. The longer I minister, I am touched and bless...

I can understand why many want to have an institution like TC up and running to represent the COGOP like Lee represents COG or the AG schools represent their churches. But let's be honest for a minute about the track record that the COGOP has in running these things. How much time, energy and financ...
