    From Glory To Glory - October 2006



     

    E-Newsletter from Call To Life Family Worship Center

    October, 2006It's All About Christ and His Kingdom!
    What's "right" with Halloween?
     - Pastor Michael Parnell
    Philip. 4:8 - "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
     
    It's that time of year again.  You know, the time for the crispness of fall to begin settling in, the time when the days start getting shorter in our hemisphere, time for pumpkins being harvested, hay being baled, and such.  What comes along with that are ghastly costumes, dark, ominous looking masks, pictures of goblins, witches, monsters, demons, and on and on the list goes.
     
    Then, of course, comes along the great debate surrounding the question, "What's wrong with Halloween?"  This debate takes place more commonly, and unfortunately, among professing Christians.
     
    I think this year, instead of the traditional "what's wrong with Halloween" question, I want to pose this question:  What's right with Halloween?
     
    Personally, I would think that this subject would not even be an item of consideration among thinking Christians with any degree of maturity.  However, therein lies much of the impetus for this division.
     
    Why would anyone, especially a child of God, want to be a part of, or promote something that obviously exalts evil?
     
    Right here in our community there is a huge attraction to an annual event (one of only too many in our area) during the month of October that draws hundreds of people in, done in the name of a "worthy" cause to raise money.  To worsen matters, there are scores of "christians" that are involved in the so-called "fun".  Instead of the"Haunted Hills" why don't these "christians" sponsor the "Holy Hills"?
     
    Yet some of these same "christians" (and I use that term reservedly) would condemn many churches that are sponsoring an alternative through things such as "Judgment House".
     
    My question is:  Where is the spiritual discernment?  Why are many just willingly ignorant of the devices of the devil?  Why do we get such a kick out of instilling fear in our children . Unless it is a reverential fear of God, the Bible teaches that fear is a spirit, and that spirit comes from the devil.  The Word says in 2 Tim. 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."?
     
    So, laying aside the excuse that so many use, saying that its fun for the children, (although adults put much more money into it for themselves to party that night) I would like for some of you who profess to be a child of God, yet join in the celebration to the father of evil, to answer me, once again, this question:  What is RIGHT with Halloween?
     
    Pastor Mike
    It's All About Christ!
    Praise the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord! It is with great pleasure we bring you our new C.T.L.F.W.C. newsletter, "FROM GLORY TO GLORY"!

    Our theme at C.T.L. is It's All About Him!  We realize that church, ministry or the Kingdom of God is not about us... not about me or you, but it's all about Christ!

    The newsletter title, "FROM GLORY TO GLORY", reminds us that the more we are changed into His image, the more we allow Him to transition us from glory to glory, as Paul writes in 2 Cor. 3:18. the more we emphatically realize that it IS all about Him!

    Our prayer is that you will receive, blessing, strength and revelation as you read the articles that we will be providing and also as we keep you updated of the direction the Lord is leading the mnistries of C.T.L. "IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM!"

    Metro Ministries: Inside America's Largest Sunday School

    Bullets, Bricks, Bad Breaks Can't Stop Bill Wilson's Bus



    Metro International Church (MIC) affiliated with the Home Missions Conference of the IPHC in November 2000. The church itself runs over 1,000 people and is the mother church of Metro Ministries, the largest Sunday School in America which reaches over 22,000 kids each week. The affiliation grew out of a personal relationship between Pastor Bill Wilson and Dr. Ronald W. Carpenter, Sr. Bill Wilson founded Metro Ministries in 1980 and continues as the apostolic leader of this now world-wide network.

    Pastor Wilson is an ordained IPHC minister and has graciously blessed the affiliation relationship which has grown constantly stronger over the years. Rev. Rick Fountain, former pastor of MIC, also serves as Director of the Metro/Northeast District for the Home Missions Conference, a District which now has seven churches and 54 ministers in an area where the IPHC has had little or no presence until recently. He is continuing in this capacity and will also be assuming responsibilities as the Assistant Director of Evangelism USA on September 18. Meanwhile, Rev. Marcus Brown is the new pastor at MIC and is leading the congregation to birth its first IPHC daughter congregation in Greenwich Village, East Manhattan, this fall. The affiliation between Metro Ministries and the Home Missions Conference has been and will continue to be of great mutual benefit as we build the Kingdom together! [Introduction by Dr. Ronald W. Carpenter, Sr, Executive Director of EVUSA, IPHC Ministries]
    (EP)--New York was named the United States’ most expensive city in a recent survey posted in Money Magazine. Nearly everything costs more in the Big Apple.

    And no one knows that better than Rev. Bill Wilson, the founder of Metro Ministries in Brooklyn. In the last 25 years, Rev. Wilson has developed America’s largest Sunday school program, which reaches 20,000 urban kids each week. He’s been acclaimed by Christian leaders, the media, and government officials, who have said Metro Ministries has helped make the Bushwick section of Brooklyn both “livable” and “investable.”

    The methods of Metro Ministries look simple enough—each week, staff members (including Wilson) drive busses around the city and bring kids to innovative Children’s Church programs.

    But a deeper examination of this journey will reveal a narrow, bloodstained road that few are willing to take.

    “We have paid a price for it,” said Wilson.

    That price-tag has nearly cost him his life. Two years ago, he was robbed at gunpoint. One of the thieves stuck a gun in his face and when a struggle ensued, the trigger was pulled. “It felt like my whole face exploded,” said Wilson, who drove himself to the hospital and resumed preaching a few days later.

    One of his associate pastors wasn't as fortunate. Kevin McDonald was murdered in 1989; Wilson said the gunman was aiming for him.

    “I’ve been stabbed twice, thrown off a building, and hit in the face with a brick,” said Wilson, who has seen 22 murders and survived three plane crashes.

    After getting hit with a brick, he lost his sight in one eye for three months. The attack -- approximately 20 years ago -- nearly made him quit. But a bulldog faith and a “hell or high water” mentality have enabled him to persevere. It’s a determination that he tries to inspire when he speaks to believers all over the world and when he runs a “boot camp” training program in Brooklyn.

    “Your commitment has to be stronger than your emotions, but for most Christians that is not the case,” he said.

    A native of Florida, Wilson came to New York City in 1980 after working with Pastor Tommy Barnett in Iowa. He quickly discovered that Brooklyn was no Field of Dreams: “Moving here was the hardest part.”

    With the emergence of crack cocaine, the murder rate in soared. “I came to New York because [at that time] it was the worst place in America,” he said. “I wanted to be where people’s needs were the greatest. I knew that if the Gospel worked in New York, it could work in any city.”

    Wilson already knew God could reach anyone. As a young child, he had been abandoned by his mother on a street corner. He waited for her for three days, but she never returned. A Christian man took him off the streets and his destiny was forever altered. “I should have been an alcoholic like my mother,” he said. “When something like that happens, you can allow it to strengthen you or you can use it as an excuse to feel sorry for yourself.”

    So instead of becoming one of the statistics, Wilson chose to be a catalyst for changing them. Many of the children who attend Metro’s Sunday school live in some of the worst inner-city neighborhoods and face hunger, gang violence, drugs and crime on a daily basis.

    In 1997, Ted Koppel and “Nightline” cited Metro Ministries as one of main factors for the radical change in the Bushwick section. It’s a change that has not happened overnight. Wilson was in it for the long haul from the beginning and seeks to impact generations of kids.

    “Most people want to see quick tangible results, but this takes a long time,” he said.

    Metro Ministries conducts Sunday school programs for inner city children six days per week at 150 sites throughout New York City. They offer programs right after school each day, a critical time for juveniles. The program consists of “fun and games and with a positive message that encourages them to stay in school, to stay away from gangs and crime, and to dream big.” Metro presents Sunday school programs in several other countries and its model is being duplicated by organizations around the world.

    In addition to providing Sunday school in New York, Metro also ministers to children and their families with summer camp programs, a school back-pack drive, and Thanksgiving and Christmas outreaches.

    Metro’s “Won By One” monthly sponsorship program links donors with children in New York City and in countries throughout the world.
    Penny Hollenbeck, Metro Ministries’ Executive Director of Operations and Administration, recently shared the story of a Seattle family that sponsored a New York City boy for many years. The family and the boy, who is heading to college, have developed a close relationship.

    There are other Sunday school kids who have gone on to college and achieved great things, but Wilson has a different measuring stick in defining success.

    “I am not as interested in what they become as I am interested in what they do not become,” he said. “They are not all doctors, lawyers, journalists. A garbage man is a great job to have here.”

    And when people ask him the secret of his success, he is quick to point out that without Jesus, nothing would be possible. It’s a message that often falls on deaf ears.

    “When you start talking about Jesus people bristle,” he said. “It’s the Jesus factor. But the world just won't get it. You can put someone in a new house, but unless they change their heart, it doesn't matter.”

    The mandate for Metro Ministries, said Wilson, comes from the Book of Numbers (16:46-48). He noted how Aaron stopped the plague by making atonement for the Israelites: “The Bible says that Aaron stood between the living and the dead and the plague stopped.

    “Our mandate is that one person can make a difference,” he said. “That saying makes a good Sunday morning service, but not many Christians buy into it. They don't believe it’s possible. But it is possible.”

    It’s possible to produce lasting fruit, he said, if people are willing to the unglamorous behind-the-scenes work.

    “People see the Sunday school program and think it is great,” said Wilson. “What they don't see is the preparation it takes to get the kids to show up. That all happens through (mentoring) relationships. We visit every kid once a week; help them with their homework, or give food to their family. You have to earn the respect to speak into their lives.

    “You have to be willing to pay the price.”

    Disowning Conservative Politics, Evangelical Pastor Rattles Flock
    MAPLEWOOD, Minn. — Like most pastors who lead thriving evangelical megachurches, the Rev. Gregory A. Boyd was asked frequently to give his blessing — and the church’s — to conservative political candidates and causes. The Rev. Gregory A. Boyd leads a congregation outside St. Paul.
    The requests came from church members and visitors alike: Would he please announce a rally against gay marriage during services? Would he introduce a politician from the pulpit? Could members set up a table in the lobby promoting their anti-abortion work? Would the church distribute “voters’ guides” that all but endorsed Republican candidates? And with the country at war, please couldn't the church hang an American flag in the sanctuary?
    After refusing each time, Mr. Boyd finally became fed up, he said. Before the last presidential election, he preached six sermons called “The Cross and the Sword” in which he said the church should steer clear of politics, give up moralizing on sexual issues, stop claiming the United States as a “Christian nation” and stop glorifying American military campaigns.
    “When the church wins the culture wars, it inevitably loses,” Mr. Boyd preached. “When it conquers the world, it becomes the world. When you put your trust in the sword, you lose the cross.”
    Mr. Boyd says he is no liberal. He is opposed to abortion and thinks homosexuality is not God’s ideal. The response from his congregation at Woodland Hills Church here in suburban St. Paul — packed mostly with politically and theologically conservative, middle-class evangelicals — was passionate. Some members walked out of a sermon and never returned. By the time the dust had settled, Woodland Hills, which Mr. Boyd founded in 1992, had lost about 1,000 of its 5,000 members.

    A Tale of Two Colleges
    Revival Threatening Dartmouth Campus
    This email [right] was submitted by one of our readers, Elaine Vaden, on behalf of her friend at Dartmouth.
    Evangelical groups banned from Georgetown campus
    (EP)--Student members of six evangelical campus groups at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C, were on pins and needles last week as they awaited word about their future. They had gone to administrators of the Jesuit-run school and stated their case; would the school now reverse its announced decision in mid-August to expel the ministry organizations?
    “As any previous covenant agreements ended with the 2005-2006 academic year, your ministries will no longer be allowed to hold any activity or presence ... on campus,” wrote the Rev. Constance Wheeler, a Protestant chaplain at Georgetown, in a letter to the evangelical groups.
    The two largest groups the school kicked off the 10,000-student campus were InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) and Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship, a popular Assemblies of God student ministry; each has about 100 student members. The groups were classified as “affiliated ministries” in the university’s Protestant Ministry division of Campus Ministry.
    Students can continue to meet informally for Bible study sessions and other purposes -- as many are doing. But they can't do it under the auspices of the ministries. That means no literature tables, no advertising and no promotions inviting other students to join in activities, no staff presence, no organized campus gatherings.
    The expulsion came as a shock that caught students and faculty alike by surprise. There had been no advance warnings, no conflicts among campus groups, no “or else” demands.
    Protests by several hundred students at campus rallies fell on deaf ears. (A senior rabbi also was axed but won reinstatement after personally appealing to the GU Board of Trustees. Epperly retains ties to GU as an adjunct professor.)
    Some students noted a pattern of poor communications between the outside ministries and Georgetown officials. Tensions may also have arisen because outside ministries are gaining more members than Georgetown's own religious organizations.

    Dear, dear friends:
    Forgive my lack of citations: this is cobbled together on the fly. A folder I created and entitled "REVIVAL" has now grown to 67 emails in three days. And there is far too much going on that has not been writen down...

    I can hardly walk from having spent so much time standing still on the center of the green. Daily prayer started today at 7:30am, 3pm, and will happen again at 10pm. Eight were there this morning, about twenty-two this afternoon, both times of prayer extended past 1.5 hrs (I've had to leave early from both -- just now to write this blitz, so I trust its worthwhile!).

    The Holy Spirit is moving with power at Dartmouth College. Last Thursday, seven of us found ourselves in Food Court surrounded by unoccupied tables. As we talked, excitement visibly descended on the group and the conviction that an outpouring of the Spirit on Campus was imminent. We represented Agape, CI, and Navigators. We spent a lengthy time in prayer. "During that time, one of the girls started speaking in tongues, catching her totally offguard. She spent the rest of the evening with the Holy Spirit as she was led to call a woman in her church that she has talked to just once before [and to boldly ask to speak at their service, which went fantastically well, exciting the Church to prayer and faith], and call her family for reconciliation. The rest of us also had fantastic nights, including lots of opportunities to present the Gospel. Friday for lunch, we met again to tell our stories of Thursday evening and had some more fruitful prayer time...
    Each of us had an overwhelming sense that the Spirit was saying this is the year. This is the year of revival at Dartmouth. No longer was it "soon" or "in the process", but there was a definite sense of this is when the Spirit will claim Dartmouth for His own once again. And it's not just the students, but the faculty as well." (and not just students and profs, but also DDS workers, janitors, townies, administration, admissions -- and DHMC nurses!)
    Last night, twelve of us from four fellowships gathered in an "upper room" of Collis , singing and praying and in the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit. It was rough, simple worship, but filled with a passion for Christ that has exploded all around and continued to floor me. (Where did this single-hearted passion come from?) We then efficiently tackled questions of how to let other Christians know what was happening; drafting a short game plan:
    • -- Daily prayer at the center of the green, three times a day.
    • -- Asking every church and person we know to pray for Dartmouth
    • -- Encourage, through friendships and conversations, the people we know
    Exciting testimonies have been shared.
    • Claris Smith mentioned that she came to Dartmouth a prophet had told her that a revival would start in the Northeast led by Ivy League colleges.
    • A professor recently came to faith through working on a term paper with a Christian student.
    • An S&S officer is retiring this year after having prayed faithfully for the campus for many years.
    • We were joined today (just now!) by a nurse from DHMC who cried as she told us how long she had been praying for Dartmouth, and gave fervent prayer for healing at Dartmouth, arising from a real heart of compassion that she has given to Dartmouth students facing recoveries from alcoholism and drug abuse.
    The Haystack revival happened 200 years ago: the Summer of 1806. The revival launched a powerful explosion of the first missionaries from the US. People all over the world have been praying for a revival to break out on College campuses this summer.

    Vox Clamantis in Deserto.
    And there are testimonies from outside the immediate Dartmouth community. This one is from someone entirely unknown who heard one of the last-minute announcements that were given at churches:
    We were lifting you guys (and the campus) up to the Lord today at 7AM prayer today. After this, I drove by the Green. As I passed, I saw a circle of about 10 people holding hands, heads bowed in the center of the Green. What an awesome sight!! I did not know you had planned to meet and pray. I could not distinctly make out anybody....but I knew in my spirit it was your group!! I could not find the horn fast enough...and I almost turned around to join you. Sorry I didn't! Anyway, it brought me to tears to see what God is doing in and around Dartmouth.
    I think we all need to be particularly attentive at this time. God is moving, and he delights to involve us. In fact, we are the chosen instruments by which His Kingdom WILL come, here on Earth. As we were in worship yesterday, the Lord showed me that we are engaging in warfare that will take down strongholds. More importantly, the Lord showed me that on the other end of the spectrum, we are erecting/building strongholds [def: high place, refuge, secure height, retreat] that the enemy can't take down! The Lord is building a fortress.

    So please: Wherever you go in the next weeks, please get churches to pray for Dartmouth. Tell people. Please.
