He Wouldn't Stay Dead - Easter Sunday 2012

I am reposting the Easter poem from last year. It is just that good. I hope you enjoy the poem and have a great resurrection Sunday. We will be spending the day in Evansville, Indiana with our friends at Full Gospel Mission.

Praise God for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. We as Christians celebrate the fact that Christ arose every day of our Christian experience. Today, Easter or Resurrection Day, is a day of special remembrance of the momentous occasion when the Son of God, God in the flesh, Jesus Christ our Lord conquered death, hell and the grave! He died to pay the penalty for our sin and He rose again that we might have new life! Praise God He is Alive!

Below is a poem that I have quoted in my preaching for many, many years.  It was written by a Baptist preacher named Willard G. Thomas from Georgia. I heard him quote it in person long years ago. It spoke to me then and it speaks to me every time I think of it. I love this poem. I added the last stanza when I started quoting it myself.

May God bless you on this Easter. If you are not a Christian, may you be moved by the fact that Jesus Christ died for you and then got up out of the grave for you as well.

He Wouldn’t Stay Dead

by:Willard G. Thomas

They laid His body in Joseph’s new tomb

And filled His disciples with sorrow and gloom

They did not remember what He had said

That He would die, but He wouldn’t stay dead

Mary came at the break of day

And found the stone was rolled away

She saw an angel and in terror fled

And told His disciples that He didn’t stay dead

In that cold dark tomb He would not stay

He conquered death and walked away

And now that old grave has lost it’s fear and dread

He lives again! He wouldn’t stay dead

Full atonement and pardon were made

And forever the sin debt was marked fully paid

The price was His blood as it flowed crimson red

And I’m thankful today that He didn’t stay dead!

Let’s go to our churches and cry aloud

Let’s go to the marketplace and talk to the crowd

Let’s go to the mission fields that lie up ahead

And tell the whole world that He didn’t stay dead!

Because if Jesus Christ had only died

Then the gulf between us and God would still be wide

But thank God He did what He said

He got up out of the ground, He couldn’t stay dead!

Happy Easter From Hank

Happy Easter From Hank the Church Dog!

Looks like Hank won the big prize at the annual Easter egg hunt in West Plains, Missouri. With a nose like that it's no wonder he found the biggest egg! In fact, it looks like he found ALL the eggs!

Hope you have a great day tomorrow. Check back then for a post that is a tad more solid when it comes to the Bible. Lol

Pineview Holiness Baptist Revival in Pictures

Bosch Electric Jack Hammer

In January I posted about the possibility of finding a better way to drive tent stakes. That post is HERE. We decided to go "used" so Bro. Landress brought the used electric Jack Hammer when he visited the tent revival in Alabama last week. Here it is.

It is a Bosch and was used as a rental but it seems to be in good working order. I have been watching Craigslist since December and haven't found very many. The ones I found that were cheap didn't last long or needed major repair. This one is $450 and that is reasonable considering what I have seen for sale.

There were some weeks last summer that driving 22 stakes was very difficult and I imagine it will be the same in some places this year. Hopefully the jack hammer will make it a whole lot easier.

Revival is going good this week in Tifton, Georgia. I wish the preaching was much better but I am working on it every day. I have one more chance get it right this week so pray for me. I will try to post pictures of the revival on Friday.

We are closing here tonight and plan to pull out early tomorrow. I need to have the oil changed in the BoggsMobile along the way and we are scheduled to start revival in Evansville, Indiana Saturday night. We will have to hurry along.

God bless you all.

Great Things Are Happening

“Odie’s View

From The Back.”

   Hey everyone!!  I hope all of you are doing well.  We are super pumped about what has been going on around the BoggsMobile.  God has been blessing us beyond words!

   I left off last time while were in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.  We had a wonderful time at South Mission Holiness Church with Pastor Leon Rich.  The Lord visited us there.

   Thanks to Pastor Daryl Brewer and Oneta Holiness Church for allowing us to park at your church while in the area.  We greatly appreciate your friendship!

   Then we had seven glorious services at West Side Holiness.  It was great getting to be with Pastor Darrell Meadow and all our friends for a whole week!  They have always welcomed us with open arms in Claremore, Oklahoma.

   Dad and Mom had a three night revival at Hilldale Holiness Church.  They said it was really good.  Thanks to Pastor Nathan Conner for understanding my absence.

   I had the privilege of going on a vacation with my cousin Lisa Isaacs.  We had a wonderful time!!  Lisa going with me made my dream vacation come true!!  We got to be with several friends and make many happy memories!

   Our family was then reunited in Nashville, Tennessee.  Dad had some trouble getting the bus there, but thank God for protecting him!!  The way God worked it all out is amazing!

   In Nashville the BoggsMobile received TLC from the mechanics at Prevost.  Also the bus was equipped to pull the newest member of our road team. 

   Bro. Nathan Heneger blessed us with a different trailer for the tent and equipment. It is perfect for hauling everything and we are very thankful to have it. It is heavier than our last trailer so the BoggsMobile needed to be upgraded.

   Finally we made it to Ellisville, Mississippi.  We love being with Pastor Kenny Morris and everyone at 1st Assembly!!  They treat us like family.  The Lord moved greatly all week! It was wonderful.

   Conehatta, Mississippi was our next revival.  We always have an exciting time with the congregation of White Plains Holiness Assembly.  Thank you all for your kindness to our family!!

   We had a superb Sunday of services with Pastor Donnie Williamson.  We are so grateful for our friends at Tanner Williams Holiness Church in Wilmer, Alabama.

   We attended the Monday night fellowship meeting at Cedar Creek Holy Church of God in Citronelle, Alabama.  It was a treat to hear our Pastor, Bro. Bennie Sutherland, deliver the word of God like only he can! 

   Now it was campmeeting time in Semmes, Alabama.  We look forward to going to Allentown Campmeeting every March.  It is a week of recharging our spiritual batteries.  God moved in the preaching and around  the altars again this year.  Another highlight of the week is getting to see many friends from so many different places.  Pastor Eugene Futral and the supporting board members and churches work so hard to put this meeting on.  Thanks again for keeping the vision alive!!

   It was a great privilege to be with Pastor Lamar Chapman and the fine folks at Midway Assembly again this year!!  God is still moving in St. Stephens, Alabama.  They have a newly remodeled sanctuary at Midway and it is beautiful!!

   Summer of Tent Revivals 2012 is now here.  We had an amazing week with the Whatley Holy Church of God and the Cedar Creek Holy Church of God.  Pastor Gaylon Cunningham and Pastor Darius Templeton brought their churches together to reach the community of Citronelle, Alabama.  We had a wonderful time under the new tent..  We look forward to 11 more weeks over the summer of God meeting us under the blue & white Gospel tent!!

   Currently we are in Tifton, Georgia.  We are so glad to be here with our long time friends Pastor Tony Walker and family!!  This is our first visit to Pineview Holiness Baptist Church.  Revival is off to a good start.

   Well, I hear the engine starting so I better go ‘cause we’re On the Road Again.
