Church Hopping

-

Through Scott Hodge, I discovered this blog by a couple of agnostic church hoppers and their adventures of trying a different church each week. They take pictures, scan the bulletins, and share their impressions.

What would they report if they showed up at Your Church next week?

    Wow. I spent a while reading and scanning through the site. There are people in our churches that may not be professing "church hopping", but are seeking. This was eye opening and inspirational. We need to really evaluate everything we do on a regular basis. I pray that they find Jesus in their quest for "evaluation".

    What I have seen in the past.

    It usually starts with the Pastor of the Church. He gets a huge burden put on his heart and spends hours praying for the Lords will to be done no matter what that is.

    I am talking about when you are sitting in Church and feel the Holy Spirit.

    You find the tears rolling down your face, and can not stop them.

    Then it is like a wave coming over the Church. People flock to the alter to ask for the Lords help in their life.

    Someone shouts, another jumps up and down and they may even run up and down the aisle of the Church.

    The whole Church is blessed to the point where the Pastor does not have time to preach.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema

My Updated Ordination Succession

-
 I made an error when I listed my ordination succession a few weeks ago.  I was ordained by Earle Wilson and he was ordained by William Neff. I had thought that Neff was ordained by early Pilgrim leader, Seth Rees, but upon further investigation, he was actually ordained by Winfred Cox.  Thus, my ordination line takes a fortunate turn. It was a struggle reconciling Rees anyway.  I had taken a leap saying that he was ordained by the Nazarenes -- when, in fact, he was originally "recorded" (not ordained) by the Quakers, and the Nazarenes claim they never ordained him.  I find that hard to believe -- especially when, according to historian, Kostlevy, he participated in ordinations for the Metropolitan Church Association, a forerunner of the Pilgrim Holiness Church. Anyhow -- deepest apologies for leading anyone astray and here is the updated ordination succession for Earle Wilson and anyone ordained by him (including former Wesleyan GS, JoAnne Lyon). I was ordained by Earle Wils
