The Old Tent Meeting!

The Old Tent Meeting


When I was a lad, about 70 years ago or so, in the late summer, with my mum and dad, to the tent meetings I would go.For about two weeks in the late summer, to a large field, a preaching man would come, set up his large tent and sing and preach God’s word. People from the valley and ridge would come, and be blessed by the hymns they sang. “Blessed assurance Jesus is mine” and “Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so”. My favorite time was when the preaching was done and with the singing of ” Just as I am” the lost sinners to the altar would come.

The Touch of My Fathers Hand!

The Touch of Fathers Hand!   When I was young and being bad, I thank God for the dad I had, He would not beat me, But he would guide, With words of wisdom, Obtained from God’s word, He kept by his side. Every night I would wait, Watching him come down the hill, Walking from work To enjoy his family, While supper we ate. Dad made sure his family, Went to Church each Sunday, To learn about Jesus, That He was the truth, the Life, And the way, We would sing “Jesus loves me,” And ” This is my Father’s world”. I thank God, For my father, And his leading me, To know the Master, And a home with Jesus, For Eternity. Thank you dad, And thank you Heavenly Father, For loving me, And loving others, for Eternity! ~Winston Staples

WHEN I AM WEAK!

COMFORT FOR THE WEAK As this old body gets weak And the pain grows great, And I find it hard to pray, As my headaches get worse everyday. I can no longer read God’s word, And meditate on message, That is heard. My friend Ed Sealy, wrote these words, In a song, He sings so well. Titled ” Caught in The Balances” The words go like this: ” Lord I’d love to praise you, But my body’s to weak, I can’t read your Word To hear as you speak, But I have your presence, You promised to me, When I”m caught in the balances, Trusting in Thee.” This is the first verse of the song; I trust you will enjoy it! ~ Winston Staples

TIME!

Time! Posted on   September 1, 2023   by   wint68,70pluswint Today another month came into being; it is hard to believe how quickly time passes. Summer is about gone for another year and the scent of Fall is in the air; humming birds will soon leave and the leaves will change color and fall.What does the Bible say about time? Time is spoken about over 700 times but today I am looking in the book of Romans. Paul talks about time, righteousness and Jesus beginning in chapter three.I am using my KJV.Romans 3: 26  To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.In chapter five verses six and eighteen we read: 6  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 18  Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.Romans 9: 9  For this is the word of promise, At t
