    Greetings, Brethren and Sisters

    First of all, I don sackcloth and ashes! I sinned against the congregation by not staying active, and replying to a thread. Pastor Ezekiel smote me by the just Authority of the Lord Jesus Himself, and I repent!
    I first came to Jesus in 1971,at Rock Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I was an avid follower of Pastor Jim Baker, and Tammy's UHF program, in my early development. Alas, I strayed from the path when God justly smote my mother.
    Like all sinners, I wandered through life without heed nor care for the Word, and was lost in an addled world of drugs, and fornication, ending up in Minnesota. ...but Praise be to God! His undying attention, and interest in my Immortal Soul, brought me back into the fold in 1982!
    I served fervently, and with undying dedication in Youth with a Mission,trying to save the Mexicans in Real de Catorce, Mexico, from the clutches of Babylon's curse, the Roman Popish Clan.
    After returning to Minnesota, I was a program director at Midwest Challenge, saving other youth, by God's Grace, from the evil drugs that Satan planted within our nation!(These greatly deceived blasphemers considered this freedom)

    After 2.5 years in such capacity, I served as State Leader of The Church of Jesus Christ, Christian, while I dwelt in Minnesota. There, I received revelation from Jesus Himself, regarding the anti-christian liberals who forced equality upon this proud nation!

    Now, I find myself in California, and unable (until I found this congregation of Truth) to locate a TRUE Bible-believing church! Why, they all look like actors, and use words like "moderation" and "compromise", and try to alter the Truth with translations other than The Authorized king James Version...God's Word!

    Well, I will be happy to share more, should anyone care to hear, as God has given me an endless amount of things to say!
    In closing, allow me to speak from the Book of James 1: [21] Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
    [22] But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
    [23] For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
    [24] For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
    [25] But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."
    Thank you Brother Ezekiel, for directing my path arightly!

    Re: Greetings, Brethren and Sisters

    Hello Patrick.

    I do not know if you know it but the picture in your avatar is from a movie called Jesus Camp but it is not a good movie.

    After my accident I found God and then I told my children they should send their children to Vacation Bible School and my daughter sent me this movie. I thought it was a souvenir DVD of their Vacation Bible School but it was not.

    Thank you.

    Rusty

    P.S. My children are grown their children are my grandchildren but I have not seen them in a long time.
    Psalms 116:6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

      Well what a beautiful introduction! I'm not sure how to address you as I am new here, and you seem to know the ropes already. But thank the Lord Pastor Ezekial has given you a path to Salvation. Welcome back to God's favorite forum, if I am not overstepping my boundaries as just a forum member in welcoming you.
      YIC!

        Welcome to Landover Brother Patrick.

        I too got an early glimpse at the real Jesus in the early days of UHF. It was hard at the time as you needed a "deep fringe" antenna, the Mexicans were vying for channels, and the "educational" (i.e. communist) stations were trying to take over. Things didn't improve until the FCC allowed Jesus to have five megawatts.
        Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
        brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.

          Welcome, Patrick! I take it you're married with a quiver full of sons?
          sigpicMt 21:42, 44 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes . . . ? And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

            Hey Patrick, I kind of skimmed through that wall of text, but I notice you don't live too far from me. Perhaps we could go to church together some time.
