I may be stepping out on a limb but I have a request for my men friends in the Hannibal area that sing (or at least are willing to give it a shot!)
Our choir at Antioch Baptist Church is in need of men for our Christmas Cantata! At this point I have three tenors and only one bass!
IF you would like to join us let me know on here and I can get you the book and music on a USB. Also we are having a men's only practice at the church 5pm this Sunday!
Ladies are welcome as well! We'll be having a ladies only practice next week at 5pm!

"Jesus Calling" might be a wrong number! 😕

GASLIGHTING WITH "JESUS CALLING"
by Marcia Montenegro

The book "1984" by George Orwell, which I had to read in school, is coming true in the church. People are outright denying the truth or saying the opposite of it as they do in Orwell's book.

An article from Ministry Watch about the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America) decision to investigate the book "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young states this:

From article at https://shorturl.at/DRgkA (H/T Janice Lyons)

What! A "literary device?" When did the author and publisher decide this?

The truth, which is not what is written in the above excerpt, is that the author herself claimed in the first edition that she sat down and listened for words from Jesus:

Excerpt from CANA article at https://shorturl.at/hjbRP

That is not a literary device. Young wrote she was inspired by the book "God Calling," written by two women who listened for words from God and wrote them down. Young called this non-Christian book a "treasure." Young's statement about "God Calling" and how she came to sit and listen for words from Jesus were REMOVED from the 10th Anniversary Edition.

Apparently, those invested in Jesus Calling would like to erase history and facts. Because the truth was removed from later editions, there are many now who do not know the facts and will believe this is a supposed literary device.

As for C. S. Lewis, he never claimed he was getting words from Satan. It is obvious that he was using a literary device, so the comparison is another misleading effort to make people think something that is not true.

Whether the author of the article knows the facts or not, the publisher does. So for the publisher or promoters of "Jesus Calling" who read the first edition to try to gaslight the church into thinking that this was a literary device or that Young never claimed these were words from Jesus is inexcusable.

*To see what Young wrote, go to this link for a PDF version of the Introduction to the first edition. Go to pages 6 and 7 of the PDF version (pages XI and XII of book) to see the context and the quote. The link I had to this is not working so please do a search for Original Introduction Jesus Calling Knots Better. It's on a website called Knotsbetter.com

Since Antioch Baptist Church is not having services this morning because of the severe cold weather here is a message from the YouTube archives by Pastor Jack Emmite on January 15, 2023. God Bless you all and stay warm! ;)

05/28/2023

Everything is ready for service this morning! Unfortunately I won't be in my usual place today because I have no voice! It'll be good to be in the booth for once. Thankfully there are others willing and able to step in and fill the gaps!

Sunday March 26 Message at Antioch Baptist Church:

12/31/2022

Since I am now "officially official" I need to start getting my information out there to other churches to host a "Walk Thru the Bible: oTLIVE" seminar! If you have the ear of your pastor, are the pastor, or are a person of influence in your church please ask them to get in touch with me about setting up a time to call/speak with them about hosting a seminar! I can provide references of seminar attendees to testify about their experiences.
I can be contacted 1)here on Facebook through Messenger,
2)via email at: [email protected] OR [email protected]
3) via text or phone at (573) 231-6160

Walk Thru the Bible ignites passion for God's Word through innovative live events, inspiring biblical resources, and a global impact that changes lives.

Today after the church service I had a meeting with my choir members to inform them that we would not be performing this years Christmas cantata. This decision was reached reluctantly on my part but was a result of my own health problems. I am experiencing such fatigue that it is becoming physically impossible for me to participate in the choir as director. The music for the morning service is about all I can handle on Sundays. I am still music director at Antioch and will continue to do that as long as I can. I am also committed to continuing to pursue the Walk Thru the Bible Ministries seminars as I have opportunity.
I appreciate any and all prayers!
In Christ, Dan
