Outside of the politics of this thing I’d like to ask some questions related to ministry and witness of the church. We have watched our society fundamentally transformed just as Obama promised 8 years ago. Moving forward, how will we defend notions such as family values, Christian love and charity, marriage fidelity, serial divorce, Biblical definition of marriage, pro-life without exception other than life of mother/baby ??? Even course or filthy language or loving our neighbor as ourselves?
Don’t blame God for what u post! I don’t thi k he has anything to do with it!
Talking about member count… When was the last time a church announced its membership was down. We always like to say “We had 68 at Bible study Wednesday night…”
I am saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost..also a member of COGOP
It used to be – “I am saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost and a member of the great Church of God. If one hair in my head is not Church of God, someone come quickly and pull it out.”
We use to sing –
“Oh, the CoG is right, Hallelujah to the Lamb.
The CoG is right, Hallelujah to the Lamb.
The CoG is right, Hallelujah to the Lamb.
Hallelujah to the Lamb.”
That was when we truly believed in the CoG and its doctrine.
We believed in the God of the Church
