It's a short book, and I think I will cruise through it pretty quickly, and then, on to other books.

I finished The Apostles and Their Times. Quite to my surprise, I found several passages paralleling commentary from Apostolic Pentecostal authors. He addressed Pentecost, speaking with other tongues, issues regarding Ecclesiology, and etc., that would fit in with the common Oneness hermeneutic.

I've begun reading Kierkegaard's This Present Age. I'm not sure if it's the translation, but I find him difficult to read. I've had the same problem with his Fear and Trembling, hence why I've never read it all the way through.

I might read something else, instead. Not sure yet.

I gave up on Kierkegaard (again!) and started in on Catholic By Choice by Richard Cole, but lost interest pretty quickly.

So, I've begun reading SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard.

Just finished this book.
I thought I had read books from all sides about WW2, but this shed an entirely different dimension on some things.
I would suggest it for any WW2 readers.

I have that book and it is very good.

I finished Hosea in the NLT today.

I must say, this reading of Hosea I found especially powerful, very blunt, even intense. The Spirit really connected with me today as I finished the book.

On to Joel!

I read through Joel, Amos, and Obadiah in the NLT last night.

A recommendation:

The Sons of Oil: God's Anointed Ministry by David Huston, of The Glorious Church.

https://www.amazon.com/Sons-Oil-Gods.../dp/1884369561

Have you noticed that most of the people coming into our churches these days are terribly wounded and hurting? You can see the pain in their faces. As a pastor, my heart goes out to these people. But I have found that it takes more than a born again experience to free them from their pain. The new birth is not the end; it is only the beginning. I have also found that psychological counseling in not the answer, Christian or otherwise. What people need is the love and care of the body of Christ, a group of anointed people I call "the sons of oil."

This book is based on the Word of God plus my own experiences with hurting people. It is not just for pastors, but for anyone who is struggling with inward pain or who has a burden to help hurting people.

Good question. The website is still up: http://www.gloriouschurch.com/

But, there are no active questions:

http://www.gloriouschurch.com/Questi...p?archive=2017

Guestbook has no recent signatures:

http://www.gloriouschurch.com/Guests.asp

The forum for the network looks mostly abandoned:

http://gloriouschurch.ning.com/

The bookstore is kaput, too:

http://www.gloriouschurch.com/Rosh-Pinnah.asp

Clicking on "CLICK HERE TO PROCEED TO THE ROSH PINNAH BOOK STORE!'" leads to a site to buy the domain name.

They haven't hosted a Glorious Church conference in at least two years, I believe it is.

I know Jim McKinley was diagnosed with cancer sometime last year I think. I don't know if he passed or not. If he did, that may have been a hard blow to take.

Contacts for anyone interested:

Hopefully things didn't spiral out into division and error.

I talked to Bro. Houston about 6 weeks ago by phone. The Church there is doing well. The other Bro, Jim Mckinley is fighting Cancer and is currently living with the Pastor of the Apostolic Assembly in Elyria Ohio.

Jim stopped by to pray for my wife who was given 1 year to live by the Oncologist. This was a while back when she was in very bad shape. Well the prediction of her death has been thwarted by the Lord Jesus! The year was up 4-5 months ago and now he has told her he cant find any Cancer!

As to their movement it seems to have slowed some as to the teaching of plural Elders. The Church in Elyria is one they helped to establish and has the same foundation doctrine as I believe in myself.

They have live audio streaming from both of these Churches. I try to join in with the group in Carlise Pa. on Thursday nights at 7pm.

So they are doing ok please pray for Brother Jim he is one of the greatest Bible Teachers I have ever known and is a kind but strong disciple.
