Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??

[Mrs. LPW]

Down here in the south lands, where people live righteous lives, we have very little snow left. Check it out. (http://www.gnb.ca/0113/cameras/rothesay-cam-e.asp)

Yes... but our air is fit to breath up here. :)

[Barb]

At the rate we're going, maybe July? :snowing

But what year?!

[Mrs. LPW]

But what year?!

:toofunny

[Maple Leaf]

Yes... but our air is fit to breath up here. :)

I barbequed out on my deck tonight - the air smelled pretty good to me.

Mmmm, sirloin smoke and Irving sludge....sniff sniff!!!

Ahhhhh... what we all wish we could have!

[Truly Blessed]

This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. HOWEVER, I would rejoice even more if the sun would shine and the snow would go away now. :)

I'm housebound most days until Spring arrives and I can take the kids and go for walks. Reaaaally looking foward to Spring!

This thread has become way too quiet.

Let's try this on for size and fit.

I have been told by two well placed AD ministers (Not kinfolk - well I don't think that they're relatives, but this being NB, I should say that I'm relatively certain that they're not related to me) that, under the present administration, the AD will not license a minister who does not believe the "Water and Spirit" doctrine.

If this is the case, and I believe that they would know what they are talking about, listen closely and you can hear eighty years of AD heritage gurgling down an American drain.

I am happy to report that I have learned that while the AD does allow new ministers to believe the "Water and Spirit" doctrine, it does not require it for membership. :bliss

[Monkeyman]

I am happy to report that I have learned that while the AD does allow new ministers to believe the "Water and Spirit" doctrine, it does not require it for membership. :blissSo when can we expect your application?:D And maybe your 2 sources are not that well placed, hmmm???double:D

[Mrs. LPW]

"So when can we expect your application?"

What a funny Monkey!!!!! :toofunny

[Maple Leaf]

I have been told that Bro. R.D. Foster has suffered a stroke.

Please pray for a speedy and complete recovery for Bro. Foster.

[Maple Leaf]

So when can we expect your application?:D

There's no good way to answer that question.

If I make a strong statement like, "When Hades places an order for Zambonis," I'm labelled bitter.

If I don't make a strong statement, I'm labelled a pig pen prodigal pining for Father's house.

So I'll say, "When I come to the conclusion that an application would add to my happiness."

The problem I've got is that I am outrageously happy as I am, so, if joining added to my happiness, I'd probably be over the line into sinfully happy, and, if joining made me less happy than I am, I'd be a fool to join. That be my conundrum.

Eureka!

I figured it out.

When I meet a preacher that's happier than I am, I'll ask him for an application.

(I sure hope that if he's not Pentecostal, he's at least Protestant)

[Mrs. LPW]

I have been told that Bro. R.D. Foster has suffered a stroke.

Please pray for a speedy and complete recovery for Bro. Foster.

When did this happen? What a good man, we'll be praying.

I have been told that Bro. R.D. Foster has suffered a stroke.

He just on Monday taught a seminar to those applying for local licence with the Atlantic District.

He is truly an anointed vessel of God and a real Christian!

A little Canadian humour for you!


An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the world. So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Orlando, thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA from South to North.

On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '$10,000 per call'.

The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for. The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God. The American thanked the priest and went along his way.

Next stop was in Atlanta. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it. He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was. She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.

“O.K., thank you,” said the American .

He then traveled to Indianapolis, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same '$10,000 per call' sign under it.

The American, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel up to Canada to see if Canadians had the same phone. He arrived in Canada, and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read '25 cents per call.' The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. "Father, I've traveled all over America and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in the US the price was $10,000 per call. Why is it so cheap here?"

The priest smiled and answered, “You're in Canada now, son - it's a local call.”

[Mrs. LPW]

MapleLeaf... were you at a hockey game last night?

[Maple Leaf]

MapleLeaf... were you at a hockey game last night?

Nope!

I went down to Harbour Station and watched the Sea Dogs dump pucks in the net for sixty minutes.

There was another team on the ice, but they didn't really seem to grasp the point of the game; I don't think that anybody got around to telling them that they were supposed to try and stop the Sea Dogs from scoring goals.

And no fights - it was something, but it wasn't a hockey game.

(The Tim Hortons' tea was the best part of the evening.)

When they find a real team to play against the Dogs, there'll be some hockey in the Port City.

It sounds like you're a week behind.

The birthday deal was during the final game of the regular season.

That game was against the Moncton Wildcats, and was a decent game.

The Sea Dogs replaced their goalie after a couple of early game goals by the Wildcats, but, last night, he was back on his game, making some nice saves.

Your name was up on the big screen while they were announcing birthdays.. in big HUGE letters. I did notice they didn't actually name you over the loudspeaker, and wondered. They must have put the wrong thing up there...

Your goalie did make some nice saves last night... glad to hear he was better than before lol... I'll leave it at that. HA.

:gaga

I did enjoy the game, except for the slaughter... and you're right... no fights. We were all expecting one. We were in the G-section, lower bowl... close to the ice (and your goalie ;).
We'd love to make it to more games, but it just isn't going to happen. I hope they go all the way!

Don't touch the goalie, or there'll be a fight after all!!!

I was in the H-section, aisle seats next to the G-section.

Hey! I thought I recognized a familiar face.

Was that you with your face painted blue and white, standing on your seat doing a happy dance every time the Sea Dogs scored?

I wouldn't have to touch him... I could blow on him and he'd fall over.

Were you in the lower bowl? Close to the glass where they come in at the first of the game? I think I may have seen you after all but it didn't register at the time.
Too busy trying not to choke on our day old popcorn. I knew I should have gotten the nachos!

Yes, that was me... I also had my big "number one" finger and shaved "Sea Dogs" into the side of my head for the occasion.

Well Glory. Small world for hockey lovers in NB.

A decade behind, indeed!!

Churches are now organizing "bowling night socials"!!

The movie theater is still frowned upon, at least publicly - if you go, you have to drive to another city and hope you don't run into the brethren from the local assembly!! ha ha!

Or, do what has become absolutely acceptable - wait until the movie-theater-offering comes out on video, and go rent it!! You're seeing the same thing, only six months late on a smaller screen. Somehow this makes sense to people? Give me the big screen any day! What is important is that you are a Christian in what you watch - it matters not where the viewing takes place.

God has given us the Holy Spirit to guide us in all our ways which includes how we entertain ourselves. I realize that life would be so much easier if we all enjoyed the same things and disliked the same things. Then the golfer wouldn't judge the hockey fan, and the movie goer wouldn't condemn the person who spends his or her time being entertained on the internet, etc. :) I do believe we can be led by the Spirit in what we embrace of this world, so that we are not led away from our devotion to God in our need for a social life, which is also important to being a balanced person.

Question: At the games, do they put that little blue streak to follow the puck? That way I can understand the game!

To Elisabeth, Maple Leaf, and Barb,

It's nice to know that there are still some sensible folks out there who truly believe the Spirit can lead and guide us on a daily basis! I personally believe it is more than just being led by the Spirit. I happen to believe that the Word of God is true when it says in Titus 2:11-12 "For the grace of God has appeared bring salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age."(ESV)

When we have a proper understanding of the grace of God, we know that we are saved, not by any works that we have done, but by grace through faith, yet having taken on the very nature of Christ, grace trains us in how to live in such a way that our lifestyle is a reflection of who we are in Christ, so that we are not embarrassing ourself and Christ as we represent the kingdom of God on earth.

It is SO wonderful to hear folks who are excited with anticipation for the house of prayer. Church services are sometimes looked at as a 'have to' thing..."Oh we have to go to church tonight."

When in reality, what a privilege that we get to be in the presence of God and His people one more time. :bliss

Hmmm...I've never heard it...thanks for answering.

Btw, do y'all do God Is Here...the song I mentioned above?! I wish our choir did. It's a great song...

[Mrs. LPW]

He is here, He is here, to break the yoke and lift the heavy burden
He is here, He is here, to heal the hopeless heart and bless the broken.

Beautiful song.. and yes we know it!

[Monkeyman]

The Lord is here
The Lord is here
He has established His name.
And it shall reign forever.


God is an Awesome God isn't the Rich Mullins one you're likely thinking of.Here is a version of the tune:

[Monkeyman]

Monk...the choir sang ALL of those songs in one service?! Did they do praise and worship or just take over?! :bliss Wow...and a question...is The Lord is Here the same as God Is Here: There is a sweet anointing in the Sanctuary, or it a different song?!LOL, the Sunday PM consist of a lot of music, there is a format but we are free to sing as much as we feel to. We don't usually have a lot of preliminaries or announcements, just a LOT of worship, the choir stays up the whole time. It is a workout!!! We did stop the service to recognize our quizzers who placed 2nd in the Northeast!

The songs I listed would have been done during the entire service including offering and our altar service...

[Truly Blessed]

The music and worship at CCC is second to none far as I'm concerned. :bliss

I can honestly say there was a time when I would walk up that back hall to the platform and wish I could just leave and get out of Dodge! Now? I am chomping at the bit to get up there and see what God is going to do in our midst!!!:bliss The difference is a change of heart with the music leaders and our congregation...we are all on the same page to set up a chair for God to come down, have a seat, and bless us with His presence...so lives can be forever changed! Feel a shout comin' on and it's only 8 in the morning!!!:bliss:bliss

It sounds like y'all have learned the ministry of the song...wonderful!! That's how it's done when it's in God's divine order, Monk. We first minister to Him, He ministers to us, and only then can He minister through us.

Still unpacking boxes, washing linens, etc. that have been in storage for a few months, decorating, my parents dropped in so I fixed lunch for them, etc.

It's such a gorgeous day - so beautiful! Wish I could write a poem in celebration to do it justice :) but oh well .... those of you who live here know how wonderful these early Spring days are.

And .... I've never been any more happy or contented. I feel as if I 'm living in a cloud ...... totally enveloped by love, contentment, and confidence, conviction and assurance that God is completely in control.

I have EVERYthing I need. I'm lacking nothing. He's so good to me!! So many prayers answered, so many needs supplied, so many friends praying and encouraging! And all the glory and credit goes to the Master, Creator and God of this Universe and the Master and Lord of my life - JESUS CHRIST!

The Bible says that if we delight ourselves in the Lord He will give us even the desires of our heart. Well, on May 31st I will be doing a Miles For Missions Bike-a-thon to raise funds for New Direction China Ministries. I will ride (translation = PEDAL) from the church we planted in Woodstock to Fredericton, which is 100KM.

I have six weeks to get in shape for this. I needed a helmet before I could begin riding my bike, but didn't have the funds for this extra expense right now. On Monday I received a call requesting me to sing at a funeral on Wednesday. I was given an honorarium that I was not expecting at all that covers the cost of a new helmet.

Praise the Lord!

I have been blessed to know many great men of God, men of whom this world was not worthy. My pastor, Lloyd Williams, RA Beesley, AW Post, CB Dudley, MF Urquhart, HD McNair, George Shalm, Jimmy Burns, and many, many others. Our Pentecostal heritage in NB is rich and deep.

Along with them I could list an even longer list of laymen and women that I have known who have shown me what it means to be a Christian. It's a season to celebrate blessing and my life has been richly blessed by God and His people.


There will never ever be another CB Dudley. He was an original. I loved him very much! :heartI had never heard of Bro. Dudley before reading these posts some time ago. However, this morning I was looking through a book we have, Profiles Of Pentecostal Preachers, and his bio is there.

Fascinating reading to say the least, and I'm sure the writer didn't begin to tell the tale.

He really was a great man of God... a man, but mighty in God. And he did have quite a gift of laying on of hands to recieve the Holy Ghost.
He was a straight shooter who never minced his words.

[Truly Blessed]

Bro. C.B. Dudley made an an impression on me as a pioneer church planter along the Miramichi River. It takes a special gift to plant a church and he planted several. And he didn't go to a church planting seminar to learn how to do it. He just went forth and preached the gospel with passion and the anointing of God upon him.

[Mrs. LPW]

Brother Dudley was truly great in God.

On another note, the walking trail behind my house is covered with water. I just took a picture of two ducks swimming up where the trail was.

I heard they have moved people out of Queen Street and shut power down to some buildings...

The Heritage Centre nearby has the basement flooded and most of it's parking lot.

I think our basement is safe, we're close but I think we're up a couple or three feet further than the projected floodwaters will get to.

And.. of course Jemseg and Maugerville are really a mess right now.

[Truly Blessed]

God is moving in an extraordinary way at Capital Community Church. I have a witness in my spirit with Bro. Morton Bustard when he prophesied last night that God is taking CCC to a new level of spirituality. I believe God is responding to the hunger and thirst demonstrated by the number of people turning out for Saturday night prayer services. I like what Bro. Bustard said about not being able to push a river, and, because a move of the Spirit is the river of God flowing among us, all we can do is flow with it.

[Mrs. LPW]

Yes MM, it was a special thing to stand there and watch her little head go under that water and rise again!
I'm sure the feeling was the same you had when TB was baptised. It's like one of your children in the Lord.

Truly Blessed, You are so right.. God is responding to hunger and thirst at CCC. If we can keep ourselves focused and not veer off from the path of prayer, fasting and worship, we'll see more than we could have hoped for... I do believe!

The annual Canada Conference took place in Winnipeg last week. It was great to be able to go and reconnect with some old friends and of course make some new.

While the conference was, as was expected, smaller in attendance than last year, there was a tremendous spirit of unity and expectation that prevailed. Each message, from Bro. Dillon the first night, Bro. Andy Nieman (what a story) and Bro. Andrew Dickinson the first morning, Bro. Brian Abernathy the second night (even though he's from Indiana the Bro. can preach) and of course the finale by Bro. Granville MacKenzie dovetailed together.

There were great reports of what is happening in Newfoundland - Bro. Hughey (not sure of the spelling) an evangelist from Missouri has been there for the past 6 weeks under the auspices of GHMD and has been stirring things up with door knocking etc. In one church which had an average attendance of 6 - after being there a week they had 38 on Saturday night and 27 on Sunday night. In church after church similar things happening - in Newfoundland!

Oh yeah -- we also raised 40k for evangelism in Canada - to bring prospector/harvester type evangelists into small churches and some of our smaller districts. Looks like we will have two campaigns - one in Canadian Plains and another somewhere else to be decided - where an evangelist will come in for 2 months to help these smaller churches.

Central Canadian District did a great job hosting.

First I have heard of it. I'm more than a little nervous of the school days of my children that are fast approaching.

Reminds me of the Hemphill song from years back.

"Can you see the clock, from where you stand?
Can you tell the hour by the pointing of the hand?
Night is fast approaching, there are shadows in the land.
Can you see the clock, from where yous stand?"

I think our daylight hours in which to work are slipping away.

I'm sorry, I don't know any particular numbers but I can tell you there have been 2 children and a handful of teens that have recieved the Holy Ghost... My memory is like a sieve. They announced tonight how many had recieved it the youth service this evening and I've forgotten already.

MM and Mrs MM are doing music for the youth camp, if MM logs in he can probably give numbers.

I do know one thing, the Spirit of the Lord has been rich.

Do you know the official HG count? When they were counting I heard them get up to 51 but lost track after that.

It was a successful first run of the new Summer Summit format I think. (all things considered)
I think they'll need more help in the children's camp next year. They were short.

I was baptized in water in Jesus Name by Bro. Ora Hatheway.

Bro. Lloyd Williams was my pastor during my teen years.

I want to join with them in testifying that I am glad that I was saved as a child, baptized in Jesus Name at eight years old, and filled with the Holy Ghost at ten years of age.

Spiritual.... what constitutes Spiritual?

Went to see Avalon in concert tonight. They are so talented. I could listen to Jana and Greg Long all night, but Jermey and Melissa are amazing as well.

Looking forward to a wonderful day in the Lord tomorrow.

[Maple Leaf]

Today, I want to pay tribute to two great Canadians: Sis. Dorothy Jacques and Bro. Weldon Ackerson.

As Youth Class Teacher and Youth Leader they loved and lead almost an entire youth group to live for God. The loving service of these two unsung heroes made a difference in the lives of a youth group that produced faithful saints, pastors, and missionaries.

What's the 411 on the rebaptisms taking place on the Miramichi?

It's the first time that I've heard of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost'ers rebaptizing Jesus Name people. And at a Baptist church on the Miramichi?????? CBD must be spinning in his grave.

Whereabouts on the Miramichi?

[Maple Leaf]

Just heard about a new trini southern bapstit church in between McName and Doaktown. A guy named Dave Story. Whats the deal with JW being a part of that. 200 at opening. Revival among teens.

Whereabouts on the Miramichi?

I think that it's an old story reborn.

[Destiny2]

Just in case someone is trying to suggest that J.B. is trini, there were 4 persons baptized in Jesus Name this Sunday at his church,3 were from the Philipians.So let the rumour mill be silenced.

[The Senator]

The question is not whether or not JW is a Trinitarian. The unanswered questions is: Is the Miramichi Valley Church rebaptizing people who were previously baptized in Jesus Name? And, I'd be curious to know if this is a common practice among other Southern Baptist Churches. Whether JW is, in Bullwinkle's words, "a part of that" is not really any concern of mine.

[Mrs. LPW]

I think that it's an old story reborn.

Ahhh...

Thanks ML

Howsoever, if you lay down with dogs someone is going to ask if you've got fleas.:whistle
To my knowledge JW baptizes only in Jesus Name.
Dave Storey attended Sunset at least briefly.
I heard rumors of oneness people going to Daves because they liked the service.
Rebaptizing? Seems a stretch for a Southern Baptist unless these were people baptized as young children who now say they didn't understand what they were doing.

So have you heard of Oneness people going for triple dip baptisms, or are you just speculating why they might?

Does anybody have any reliable information as to whether or not the Southern Baptists are rebaptizing Miramichiers?

No that I am aware of .

I had the privilege of working with Karen at the Diner in Boisetown. We had such a good time together. She played the keyboard at church while I played the piano.
Karen was a truly beautiful person.
Even when she had a trial you'd see the Howe twinkle in her eyes.

Her daughters are both beautiful as well. Kind hearted.

Over here enjoying the comedy that we call politics in Canada.

Prime Minister Harper has dared to suggest shutting down the $1.95 per vote that's keeping the Liberal's leaky boat afloat.

Smiling Jack Layton will consider forming an opposition coalition to govern, but only if Stephane Dion doesn't become Prime Minister.

They've consulted with sponsorship Jean to see if there is a way to crown Michael Ignatieff (If anybody can pull it off, Teflon Jean can).

Then it appears that the Liberal/ NDP coalition may need the approval of Gilles Duceppe to create their frankensteinian government.

Poor Gilles, he'll feel compelled to rattle his separatist sabre, but not too hard lest he lose his good government job.

God save the Queen.

Texas politics can be quite amusing, too. Back in 2003, some Demos fled the state so there wouldn't be a quorum to vote on Repubs' redistricting plan (blatant gerrymandering, of course). Wait. It gets weirder. State troopers were sent to find the AWOL lawmakers and arrest them. On a rumor that a private plane was used to escape (it wasn't - they used buses), federal agencies were enlisted to help find it, apparently on the ruse that the plane was missing, as in possibly crashed or hijacked. Well, the crack investigators caught up with the "fugitives" in Oklahoma, but they didn't have jurisdiction there. So they asked them to return voluntarily. They declined. :lol
