MISSING YOU

Sometimes I wonder why

there is a moon, a sky,

Why there is war, and peace, love, and hate.

Why there is a plan we follow, to what end.

Does it really matter

that we change before too late?

Your love once enfolded me and made a cloke

Which protected me against the world.

I didn't mind what people thought and said

It was everything just to be your girl.

I miss someone to turn to, in my restless sleep;

Someone to cuddle me against his heart.

More than just to love and be loved

For an hour and then have to part.

Maybe I just don't understand the changes

That have suddenly taken over me.

I thought at first this was the life I wanted

That was before I really knew love, you see!

I guess I should be content with what I have

I usually know this and am happy to be free.

But I don't want freedom anymore, I want you to

Build a cage of love

and make a prisoner of me.

A LIVELY TESTIMONY

People look in the eyes of man

There is little they will do - or- can.

But Jesus looks into the heart,

And does it all except your part.

That is to lift up Holy Hands

in praise - live Holy.

And at every opportunity

Leave a lively testimony.

WHY I AM APOSTOLIC

The Apostolic Church, 6th & Dakota,
Pine Bluff, Arkansas. 

The Apostolic Church is not a man-made organization. It can not be traced in the Church history as a Protestant group from the Roman Catholic Church, but wherever you fine an Apostolic Church, they preach the same thing, denouncing man-made creeds and all follow the teaching of the Apostles, as they follow Jesus Christ. Therefore using the Bible as their guideline, do declare themselves to be the Church of The Lord Jesus Christ whose first members are read of in Acts 2 and 4 of the Holy Bible.

Other than for business (earthly) we do not have organization because we believe you can not join the real Church, but must be born again of water and spirit. So if one is interested in the beginning of the Apostolic Church, he must go back beyond Luther, Calvin, Wesley, Campbell and beyond the formation of the Roman Catholic Church in 325 AD. One must go back to Calvary, to the death of Jesus Christ where by His blood, the wall of partition between Jews and Gentiles was torn down, counting all under sin, but making it possible that all can be born again.

The differences in our Church and some others are... we teach:

A. Repentance (absolute dying out of sin)

                    

B. Baptism (immersion in the name of Jesus Christ, for JESUS is the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost)

C. Holy Ghost (received not as a second blessing, but as the absolute Spirit of God.) We do not teach trinity. This doctrine is not in the Bible, but began to be taught some 300 years after Christ. The Bible DOES teach one God.

(Eph. 4&5) One Lord, One faith, One baptism.

A BRIGHTER DAY

In tragedy's darkest hour, When

life would seem unfair,

The fragileness of life for us,

Is highlighted by His care.

For in these fleeting moments,

We know all is in His hand,

He knows and cares for us,

Tho' we might not understand.

So, we lean on Him,

And as always, we must pray,

Knowing this, too, will pass,

There'll come a brighter day!!!
