What is being called a Daniel Fast will begin in many churches in just a few days. Nothing wrong with folk giving up certain stuff to seek God, nothing at all. But please, lets be honest with the text. Lets be solid excellent an ethical exegetes. What Daniel done in Daniel 1was not a fast. It was not called a fast. Daniel didn’t call it a fast. It was a diet.
you’ll have to scroll down to this video.
Thanks!
still on the subject of tongues!
This was the church after it was burned.

No offence taken and none intended…..But if you are a loyal Church of God member, I would invite you to go by and visit the local Church of God instead, which according to this post is just down the street.
But Bro Earl Ray Stinson, my thought is the CoG should ask themselves a question as to why they are losing so many CoG ministers, many of whom were raised in the CoG, attended Lee, and were Ordained into the ministry? MCC is a great congregation, again, mostly who were CoG.
I understand the premise of your post and it is legitimate. I do not believe however, me attending their church is going to bring all the CoG ministers back into the fold. It would be nice but we’ve got as much chance of that as Hillary being a good president.
Earl Ray Stinson, You attending MCC will not bring anyone into the CoG because you were never part of the issue as to why these people left. What I am posting is the fact that many CoG ministers have resigned from the CoG denomination, and if the CoG is to close its back door, then first of all, they should ask themselves, Why is is open? What must be done to retain CoG ministers/members?
These are pertinent questions. But I would recommend our people attend our own….their own….denomination. The two are separate issues. Though I agree totally with your first purpose I disagree with your second issue of where you should show your loyalties. I’m done. Thank you for letting me speak. God bless you and I certainly hope the Church of God listens to your FIRST intent, but not your second.
Let’s think about this. If your congregation starts a COG denomination organization, who gets the building? And exactly how much support does the COG (Cleveland) give to the typical church planter? Where is the incentive to be COG (Cleveland) beyond heritage or ‘brand loyalty.’ There is no Biblical mandate. The COG denomination stopped believing it was THE Church of God a long time ago.
Maybe it’s time to start a new organization of independent churches. Dr. Harter you would be a an excellent choice to lead it!
now all you have to do is sign up to be an AmWay distributor!!!
years ago it was to be a preacher of the gospel
