CONVENTION BUZZ #SLHC2016

PLEASE SHARE THIS LETTER WITH OTHERS!  OUR EMAIL LIST IS NOT COMPLETE. 

DEAR FRIENDS OF SCRIPTURAL HOLINESS,

There's always a lot of buzz as we approach convention time.  I'm sure that God has something great in store for us.  The devil is sure fighting mad about this gathering.

We're praying for travelling mercies.  The delegation from the Indian Reservation in South Dakota pulled out about an hour ago headed east for St. Louis.  Many will be flying and driving in tomorrow.  Please keep our cell phone number on hand so that we can help (314) 607-1424.

Both days will open with devotion at prayer at 9:00 a.m. On Thursday MARSHAL MOSLEY will lead us to the throne.  On Friday we are thrilled to welcome for the first time, TRAVIS SAYLOR.

At 10:00 a.m. our FRONTLINE SERVICE will feature PASTOR ANDREW DURST on Thursday and MISSIONARY STEPHEN GIBSON on Friday.  These are men who are truly on the front lines and have a passionate message for this generation.

Before we break for a delicious lunch and time of fellowship, we will welcome to our platform, EVANGELIST ROBERT THOMPSON (Thursday) and EVANGELIST BENJAMIN CRAWFORD (Friday) at 11:00 a.m.  These services have always been among the best services of the convention.

Throughout both mornings and afternoons, SISTER BECKY SCHENCK will be meeting with the ladies.  What an inspiration Sister Schenck has been to the SLHC!

At 1:30p.m. you'll not want to miss Thursday's "THE WORLD IS MY PARISH" service with MISSIONARIES JOHN POFF, STEVE HIGHT, STEPHEN GIBSON and OTHERS.  On Friday we have invited DALE HAYFORD to speak on ESSENTIAL HOLINESS. Due to illness he may not make the convention so we are making stand-by arrangements.

The afternoon discussions are going to really be interesting.  On Thursday afternoon at 3:00pm  PASTOR AND AUTHOR WALLACE THORNTON will be leading a discussion of FOLK RELIGION and America's new religion MORALISTIC THERAPEUTIC DEISM.  

On Friday afternoon,  PASTOR AND PROFESSOR MARSH JONES, PhD, will be discussing the challenge of WINNING THE NEXT GENERATION, a look at the problems the first Methodists faced in winning their children, and the challenges we are face in winning the next generation to the way of holiness.

The 4:00 p.m. service will feature the music of UNION BIBLE COLLEGE and a challenging message from PASTOR TROY BOLEN (Thursday) and PASTOR DAN PLEMMONS (Friday).  There is a possibility that Brother Bolen will be delayed with a medical emergency in his congregation and in that case we will switch the days he and Brother Plemmon's will speak. 

Just as at the noon meal, you are warmly invited to the parsonage for a delicious meal at 5:30 p.m. each day.  Our ladies are working hard to prepare wonderful meals with plenty of food.

At 7:00 p.m. you'll not want to miss some of the greatest services this side of heaven, as we gather for Spiritual Singing, Glorious Testimonies, and the Preaching of the Word!

PHIL ALEXANDER will be at the keyboard.  UBC will be singing.  And EVANGELIST HARRY PLANK will stand behind the sacred desk to deliver the message of the hour. I can't wait.  I hope you're bringing someone with you.

I JUST READ AN ARTICLE "INERRANCY: NOT OUR DEBATE" IN "HOLINESS TODAY"  I hope you'll get a chance to see our response: INNERANCY: OUR DEFENSE

I SURE HOPE YOU'RE COMING!

WE'VE BEEN PLANNING ALL YEAR!

WE'VE GONE TO SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE AND GREAT EFFORT TO MAKE THIS YEAR'S CONVENTION A REAL SPIRITUAL BLESSING!

I read yesterday that it was the Heaven sent idea of a DEEPER SPIRITUAL LIFE that sparked the Welsh revival at the dawn of the last century.  We are praying that as we again focus on THE DEEPER LIFE God will once again pour out His choicest blessings upon His church and His people.
