I found out very early this morning that a friend and coworker passed away last Wednesday. I had often invited him to church, however he never came. Please remember his friends and family in prayer. His wife has been undergoing treatment for cancer for a year or more now. He was 52 years old.

Jay, very tragic. I will be praying for the family and friends. I can only imagine what this poor woman is going through battling cancer and losing her husband during the process.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
So sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. I will be praying for his family to find comfort and peace. I hope that many loving friends and family are surrounding his wife and will help in practical ways as she was probably leaning heavily on her husband during her illness.
SOrry for the loss of your friend Jay. I pray you will have opportunity to minister to the family.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
GREAT LORD GOD, we humbly, yet boldly ask that You would look down upon this family, this wife and children. LORD, undergird this dear wife and give her courage, strength and all that she needs to go on without her spouse. LORD, YOU can be ALL she needs You to be. I pray that she will find YOU in a way that she will know that YOU are That Friend that sticketh closer than a brother,,,or spouse! May PEACE and COMFORT fill her house! In Jesus Name!
