Amen and amen.

I've heard of many churches hosting super bowl parties

"sometimes way out there, sometimes very sexual in
nature" type million dollar commercials they play during
the game, embarrass the pastor and saints? Do the
children get to watch too?

"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."

Absolutely. We study books of the Bible one at a time. Usually one or two chapters per week. We just started Revelation a few weeks ago and yesterday was chapters 4 and 5 so you bet the blood of the Lamb of God was mentioned!
