Midfield Church of God located on the Alabama Campgrounds many retired pastors lived there.One member living there was Brother Wright. He came into the Church of God when the Alabama City Church of God (oldest in the state) was formed.He was asked at work was he going to the holiness meeting and when he finally decided to go the tent had been burned to the ground and the leaders (among which was J.W. Buckalew) were jailed.Wright said to himself these folks must be right so he opened his home to services. After the first night he crawled under his house to sure it up because he was afraid the flooring wasn’t sturdy enough for all the commotion.When he was asked to serve as a deacon he was asked several questions two of which were, Do you drink coke, and do you chew gum? He gave them both up to serve as a deacon and didn’t partake of either until he died almost 80 years later.No coke, no gum________________God-HonoringChrist-CenteredBible-BasedSpirit-Led
I still get along real fine with brothers and sister that still refrain from some of these things that are now mocked. I was not raised in a harsh environment, but I was around the atmosphere enough to just know that such things were worldly. I was perhaps 20years old before I found out, to my great surprise, that short hair on women was a big deal to some. Yes, I’d heard the teaching when taking in members, but I didn’t know how aggressively it was held.What about non-Christian music?Television (didn’t have one until I was 34-years-old…and I believe I was the better for it).
