Btw, did you notice that the COG folks in Indonesia have a Bible that calls God “Allah.” The A/G supports churches called The Assembly of Allah. (Or the conference of the churches of Allah, or something like that.) The COG church is the Bethel Church of Indonesia, named after a church in the Pacific Northwest of the US that founded the denomination that several splits back, GBI split off of.
Do you think Paul may have written this when his hair was long? Acts 18:18
18 So Paul still remained a good while. Then he took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He had his hair cut off at Cenchrea, for he had taken a vow.
Why would he CUT his hair because of a vow, rather than grow it? Maybe he shaved it off to keep from mixing the vowed hair and the unvowed hair. His hair may have been long otherwise.
Paul preached in Corinth in the beginning of this chapter and probably wrote the letter some time later. He may have shaved that hair when he went into the temple in Acts 21-22 with other Nazarites to pay their expenses. Or, he might not have gotten to shave and been long haired for the rest of his life.
Left to Right – Sister Horton, Sister Lowery, Sister Hughes ???, Sister Culpepper, I can’t think of the last one on the right. I need some help from you CoG people.
It broke my heart when the new General Overseer refereed to the new fund raising church start initiative as a bank. Yes headquarters is a banking institution and few people on the field benefit from it. I know this first hand.
Thank You for sharing! Dishonesty and selfishness should NOT be common place among Christians! Let alone among Christian Leadership, which is often (If not always!) called to a higher standard!
Melvin, I don’t know if I can go where your post is leading. If this can of worms is opened imagine what the people on this group would be saying. There are so many sad stories and I am sure there would be denials!
Good, bad or ugly, they are still the facts. The Lord willing, we will all learn from our mistakes and prevent or at least limit any further occurrences.

sister Thomas?
They were not plastering them with malicious intent. Nor is a newspaper from 1974 hardly any comparison to FB of 2016.
But Charles Page has an agenda. I find it rather bizarre. We live in a different age! Why keep beating a dead horse.
They however were not as you say plastered with malicious intent
The haters come out about supper time!!!
Malicious intent? I think Charles Page was just showing the difference of how so many women today look more so like worldly women.
But few, in any today, can name these precious sisters in the Lord
So you are a hater if you dont like someone’s post
What are you talking about James T Guyton?
If you are speaking with malicious intent towards the poster
