"Please accept our apologies for not broadcasting the business sessions of this year's General Assembly. Due to the new implementation of broadcasting via the web and the experimentation of our technical capabilities, we have determined that it would be best to refrain from broadcasting this session. We encourage our internet audience to monitor the ticker in later sessions to receive updates on the sections of business which were accepted. It is hoped that you will enjoy the content we share with you during this time."

Man, we don't get to see the stage police on the www.

The musicians will change so, last night was really good and the singing was good yesterday. Very good service last night....
our video has been great...not sure why yours is dark??

Don't you think that saying 103rd is a deceptive number? After all, tcog came into existence when they split from the cogop in the 90's.

Based on this assumption....

...then Cogop will need to deduct 20 years from their current Assembly number. We split from COG in 1923.

Well, to be fair, COGOP counted the COG assemblies before the 1920's split too. Although, I think COGOP had a better justification for it, since Tomlinson was GO of the COG and the COGOP.

I can agree with that, but will add that the cogop retained ownership of property.

i have never really understood the concept of carring on the "church" after a split. fact is cogop is still where they always was. except much larger and in many more countries. the church of god moved and started a new work with a name, a new flag, and a new go and new offices. not that i keep up with them much but it would be like me leaving central community church and calling it the central community church and acting like they left.

That's the basic gist of it.

It's the old concept of "you're not coming to my birthday" or "I'm gonna take my toys and go home, and tattle on you in the process."

Note both references were to very childish acts.

Man...whoever was up there speaking for the VLB service gave me an effective lesson on how NOT to preach, and instead how to scare folks into serving God.

I'm not nitpicking but that guy's sermon genuinely scared me two-fold.

From what I saw it SOUNDS like all the good singers stayed with COGOP.

It's okay to sing off key if your THE CHURCH of Gawd.

That is the truth!!

Gerald, what I was told/taught in the church of God (TCOG) is that the cream of the crop left CoGoP and went with the concerned. That came from an elder.

Gerald--

Here's the link:

EXACTLY 2 hours in (2:00:00 on the player) some guy named Brother Rob gets up and starts talking.

His sermon honestly scared me, and sent all sorts of odd feelings through my spirit. Honestly.

The guy rails against kissing before marriage, video games, etc. I was waiting for him to preach against Sports on Sunday.

It was a good 1920s-style sermon on how to avoid hell, not how to draw closer to Christ.

For those of you that think the COGOP has not come very far since the 1990's I implore you to watch this video and then get back to me.

Once again I am not nit-picking as I have done in several years past but my good Lord, this grieved my spirit to watch this and see that this is being promoted by a church organization.
