Now this is the kind of a Church of God (Cleveland, TN) that I grew up in. I am sure Charles Page grew up in it too. In fact, all of us older generation grew up in these type of services. However, I think a great number of CoG people today know nothing of these type of services. In fact, I think I might just plan to attend their up-coming Camp Meeting that is scheduled to be held June 19-24, 2016 in Dallas, NC. The Dallas Church of God is affiliated with the CoG denomination in Cleveland, TN. Why don’t you all go and join with me at this Church of God Camp Meeting that is sponsored by a local Church of God (Cleveland, TN)?
Grew up in that. And I’m only 21.
That’s what I am talking, shouting, praising, my God about right there.
I grew up with that kind of service but am now of the opinion that it is what keeps so many people from coming to the CoG. Surely the Lord and his disciples did not have this kind of a meeting. As I listened to the music, it was poor and in the high nasal range and the sermon was mostly straw and not really bringing understanding.
What I really like about this church video is the fact that these people feel what they sing and preach. That is the way it was when I grew up in the church. I also appreciate they did not sing those seven-eleven songs, that is when you sing seven words eleven times. Furthermore, it was good to see holiness people again and not the Jezebels that are predominant in many of the churches today, ladies who wear their excessive jewelry and have their punk hair cuts. In the words of Evangelist James Poe Jackson, “GOD, HELP US.”
