A Preacher of Holiness A Preacher of Holiness The attainment of the experience of perfect holiness led Brother Warner into a new and enlarged field of ministerial activity. Since the time had come for a reformation along the line of holiness, when it was the divine plan that the subject be made prominent, we should expect Brother Warner, as one of God’s ministers, to make sanctification his principal theme and at once to begin preaching it. He began writing articles on sanctification for The Church Advocate, the denominational organ. Also he began writing with a view of publishing a tract or booklet on the subject of sanctification. He was thus placed in a new field, with a new issue to defend. New lines were drawn in his ministerial relations, as there was opposition from many along a line that had not existed before.1 As his diary covers the events of his life at this point we will let him again speak for himself. The reader will remember, of course, that these are but selections, as he wrote something for every day, and the accounts are too full to quote in their entirety. He was at this time on the Ashland circuit, with his home in the Vermillion College building, near Hayesville. He had been taking a special course of study at the College, but as he beheld the need of the evangelistic field in greater proportion than ever, he felt it his duty thereafter to give less attention to study and more to his ministerial calling. July 14, 1877. Wrote, meditated, and prayed most all day with only the Lord present. Commenced article for the Advocate on sanctification. 15. Quite sick this morn. As the holiness meeting [near Upper Sandusky] was interrupted by an appointment by a Dunker preacher this A.M., we all went to Rock Run to hear Brother Smith, but he absolutely required of me that I preach for him. I was very weak; but thinking it was of the Lord I committed all to God and expected his aid. Text: “They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.”* The Lord helped me to show the dear people some of the Scripture and reasons for the second work of grace, and that as soon as we merged up into the holy mountain, love, union, and peace prevailed without alloy. May God bless the truth. There was great attention. Some questions were asked at the close of discourse, all pleasantly, however. Oh, that God would lead the dear people on to perfection! 20. The Ohio State Holiness Convention met last night in Marion on the fair ground. Will continue several days. I should be happy to attend, but the Spirit seems to direct us to return and lift up the banner of holiness on our field of labor. Hence we started this morn for home, the weather pleasant. Having brought feed and dinner we stopped under a shade tree and ate our dinner and enjoyed a pleasant rest and communion with God. 25. [At Hayesville] School begins today. Busy at domestic duties. 26. Wrote, read, and communed with the Lord. 27. Still writing on sanctification. The Lord is giving me much light. Praise his name! Met with the Excelsior Society. Read a lecture on pneumatics. 28. Finished my second article on sanctification. 29. Sabbath. Arose as soon as daylight. Spent some time with the Lord. Started about seven for Mansfield. Met a few hungry souls. The Lord wonderfully baptized my soul from the time I entered his house. Glory! glory! glory! Oceans of love flow through my soul. Oh, how inexpressibly sweet and joyful! Read part of Acts 21. After giving myself anew into the hands of God I proceeded to talk from Acts 21:14. The Lord so greatly led me out on his work in us that I did not get to the last two points, namely, his will done with us, and his will done by us. Praise the Lord, he so abundantly fills my mouth with holiness that I cannot get to anything else to say. Had a long talk with a sister of the Church of God who was mortified over my going to the altar to seek sanctification. She thought I must have been backslidden or something. I told her that something was wanting, but I knew very well what ailed me. I had been in need of the sanctifying power of God and, glory to Jesus, I have found it. She thought that she was fully sanctified when she was converted. I replied that if that were so her experience differed from that of the first converts to Christ, as well as that of the Corinthians, the Ephesians, the Thessalonians, etc. To this she could make no reply but that it was to be attained by growth, but I reminded her that God was to do the work. August 3, 1877. This morn went into the Lord’s camp. Dr. Steele, from New York, was reading his interesting Bible lessons, giving the benefit of the Greek and Dean Alford. Very instructive. Was happy to meet several brethren of my acquaintance from Crawford County and elsewhere. Thank God, they are on the holiness line. 4. Went out to camp at 5:30 A.M. Prayer meeting in the tabernacle. Stayed all day on the ground, or until afternoon preaching by Brother Rice, who (probably unknown to the Methodist Episcopal ministers) had his license taken from him two days before by the Northwest Ohio Conference for preaching holiness. He gave us a straight, close-hewing sermon on sanctification. He did not preach holiness for the glory of Methodism, as some others seemed somewhat inclined to do. Some were much displeased at his exposure of the opposition to holiness in the Methodist Episcopal Church. Came home this eve. Found dear Wife and child well. 8. Sister Ella Snyder called on us. She was visiting at Brother McKey’s, who, by the way, is a strong opposer of entire sanctification. Ella soon began talking on the subject and talking somewhat differently from what she did on last Sabbath. We think it probable that she had just been receiving the teaching of someone outside of the second work, She treated the subject with much lightness. Before she left we bowed in prayer, at the close of which she fell powerless on the floor. I raised her head, asked her if she was sick. She said not. Looked strange and confounded. Prayed some and confessed that the hand of God was upon her. Wife asked her if she was now sanctified. She replied that she knew not where she was. She grasped my hand very firmly. I raised her up, asked Sarah to support her; but she would not loosen her hold. As I endeavored to give her over to Wife, she gripped my hand the harder. We raised her up but she could not stand. We dropped her into a rocking chair and soon kneeled again in prayer. She prayed constantly to God for a “clean heart,” “sanctification,” etc. Her full consciousness had hardly recovered when she said she had to go, as her party were waiting on her. Sarah accompanied her a piece and left her looking very solemn. I pray God to lead her to the cleansing fountain. 12. Sabbath. Beautiful morn. Was up early and in counsel with the Lord. Soon received my text, I Thessalonians 5:24. Observed that this text forever took away all excuse of inability; that it laid down a principle which converted all the commands of God into promises; that everything unto which the Lord called us he would work in us. Applying the subject, as the apostle did, to entire sanctification, I defended the distinct work by experience, reason, and “thus saith the Lord.” The Lord powerfully blessed the testimony of my dear wife before preaching, and I believe that seed of truth has been sown in the hearts of the people. Went home with Bro. Jacob Freed, Brother and Sister Long, and others. We talked some on holiness. Brother Long opposed it by denying inherited depravity, which he did after my discourse today in the pulpit. Much of the afternoon was spent in the closet and private walks with the Lord. Oh, how much I prefer the company of the Lord to any other! 16. [At Eldership convention. Place not stated.] Met at half-past eight. Half hour devotion. Topic: Proper Home Influence; Duty of Parents to Their Children. The Spirit of the Lord deeply impressed this subject upon the minds of all. Hearts were melted. Tears flowed for unsaved children of ministers and members. Unconverted souls and backsliders were deeply affected. The Lord converted the convention wholly into an effort to save souls. Fervent prayers were offered, exhortations and tears, invitation hymns were sung (the organ was forgotten), and all the congregation was deeply stirred. A few souls arose and asked prayers. The unconverted children of Brothers… were especially prayed for. Oh, how I praised God that the dear brethren were willing to let the Spirit lead the meeting! The whole forenoon was given to devotion. 18. Spent the day in writing, reading, and prayer. P.M., long talk with Brother Mitchell and Sister Shriner on sanctification. Brother M. talks reasonably; Sister S. is hostile to the blessed truth, but of course it is through ignorance. She thought I should leave the Church of God at once and not destroy it by my doctrine of holiness, having actual fears of holiness.

    Pentecostal History By Tim Naab Psalms 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Isaiah 8:16-20 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. "The loud speaker or singer believes that his self-induced hypnotic trance is *enthusiasm and he believes that this means that god is within. He doesn't know that Philo coined this word to describe those afflicted, as in Corinth, with enthus o mania - just momentary insanity. Philo "developed a doctrine of ecstasy or ek-stasis, which means standing outside oneself.' This is the highest form of piety which lies beyond faith. This mysticism unites prophetic ecstasy with *'enthusiasm', a word which comes from en-theos-mania, meaning to possess the divine. From this there comes finally the fully developed mystical system of the Neo-Platonists, for example, of Dionysus the Areopagite.

  • North American Convention of the Church of God Anderson, Indiana June 29, 2005
    THE PHENOMENA OF THE SPIRIT A Paper Prepared for the Doctrinal Dialogue 119th North American Convention of the Church of God Anderson, Indiana June 29, 2005 Dr. James W. Lewis Professor of Christian Ethics, Anderson University School of Theology I. INTRODUCTION My assignment is a broad one. “It is to address the issues of “speaking in tongues” as the initial evidence [or sign] of the infilling of the Holy Spirit, as well as the nature of the gift of tongues. Also, the paper is to deal with physical manifestations often referred to as “laughing in the spirit,” “dancing in the spirit,” and “groaning in the spirit.” These are the specifics of my assignment. Due to the broad nature of the topic, I am limiting my response today to “Speaking in Tongues,” “Being Slain in the Spirit,” and the “Holy Laughter” phenomenon, which itself is surrounded by still other phenomena. Except for purposes of clarity, then, this paper will not involve a systematic study of the person and work of the Holy Spirit. There are significant earlier and later works on this subject.1 I am focusing more on the “phenomena” or physical “manifestations” that often have been attributed to the Holy Spirit. I believe it is crucial to acknowledge upfront that the Church of God early pioneers appeared to be open to all that the Holy Spirit might visit on them. There was a yearning for real experiences of the Holy Spirit. Certainly this desire included the acknowledgment and legitimacy of a variety of 1 Merle D.

    1 800-848-2464 13.035 Gift Giving Guide 2014.indd 1 2/13/2014 10:38:12 AM Jesus must be the subject around whom the Church of God comes together, for it is through him that we come to knowledge of God and his purpose for this church. Knowing who we are and owning that with one voice, with one mind, and with one spirit, is the essence of unity. God has called us to seek the lost, change the world, and unmistakably be salt and light; I believe he has called us to expand the kingdom, here, now. The church is a masterpiece. Who we are as a people, how we are adopted by the hand and providence of God for his purposes, his destiny, his providential will— that is what empowers us to change the world. Together, we can become a body that is a true masterpiece of God, the authentic representation of the presence of the living Jesus. To move forward, the unity of our own church family must be cemented. There are factions, subsets, splinters, and tribes within the Movement, all held loosely together but sometimes moving in different directions. All of us need to embrace the truth that Jesus is the subject. The church is not the subject. When we are in right relationship to Jesus, the church will be fine. If we are not in right relation- ship to Jesus, no program, doctrine, distinctive, or emphasis in the church will be healthy. Who Jesus is. What Jesus thinks. What Jesus cares about.

  • Birth of a Reformation Or the Life and Labors Of Daniel S
    Birth of a Reformation or The Life and Labors of Daniel S. Warner By A. L. Byers “It shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.” )$,7+38%/,6+,1*+286( 'LJLWDOO\3XEOLVKHGE\ 7+(*263(/7587+ ZZZFKXUFKRIJRGHYHQLQJOLJKWFRP To the Generations Following Publisher’s Preface Year 1966 This volume, a reprint of the book originally published in 1921 and out of print for many years, is in response to a long felt need that this biography of D. S. Warner, along with a brief mention of a few of his associate ministers and Gospel workers, should be available to the readers of the present generation and those to follow, should the Lord extend time. The original book is herewith reproduced without al- teration or change, except a very few minor omissions, and accounts of events and conditions existing after the period of Bro. Warner’s life. The reader should bear in mind that Bro. Warner’s com- ing out of sectism was a gradual process over a period of time leading to the climactic step, and any improper or questionable action on his part while involved in sects was merely a result of his lack of clear light and understanding of God’s Word. After the light broke through, he himself renounced these practices. In 1878 D. S. Warner wrote: “The Lord...gave me a new commission to join holiness and all truth together and build up the apostolic church of the living God.” Bro. Warner and his associates, discerning the impos- sibility of the true church existing within the framework of denominationalism, declared their freedom from the “sin of sectism and division” and instituted the “evening light” restoration movement in the latter part of the nine- teenth century in direct fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

  • DS Warner School
    D.S. Warner School – Chepen, Peru Twenty Years of Ministry Submitted by Professor Samuel Perez, translated by Karvin Adams In the year 2000, when a new century began, a new stage of life and new beginning in Peru's government policy; in a town called Chepén, there arose in the coastal area of Peru, north of the city of Lima, the Church of God in Peru - Chepén, initiated the project of a Christian school, promoted by Pastor Nicolás Pérez and the church. Despite not having understood this project in previous years; with the effort of the brothers of the church it was possible to acquire the property that today is the building of the Warner School with the effort and economic collaboration of the brothers of the church and at the same time an environment for the teaching of the children in the initial level. The necessary efforts were made and also the publicity in the first posters promoting the opening of the school, but only five (5) families registered their children; Oksanoshka García, Braghiant Chuquilín, Bruce Espinoza, Jhony Llanos and Manuel Bruno (died in 2017), beginning with them to teach and share the love of God; but at the end of the year 2000 only 3 children of the 5 enrolled finished. The first teachers were Professors Maribel Machuca and Carmen Cervera, along with the Director Professor Jorge Espinoza who all had the experience to move the school forward and Pastor Nicolás Pérez as Promoter. During the months of March to July of the year 2000, the pastor along with professional brothers in education met to prepare the project to create a Christian school for the city of Chepén and present to the educational authorities their proposal for acceptance.

  • Abstract Religious Publishing and Print on Demand
    ABSTRACT RELIGIOUS PUBLISHING AND PRINT ON DEMAND: A COMPARISON OF WARNER PRESS WITH REPRESENTATIVE RELIGIOUS PUBLISHERS BETWEEN 1980-2005 by Steven V. Williams This research project examined the changes within religious publishing brought about by the introduction of on-demand printing. I reviewed the example of Warner Press, publishing house of the Church of God (Anderson) between 1980-2005, noted the challenges, and analyzed the changes. The preaching-publishing ministry of Daniel S. Warner created a church body identified as the Church of God (Anderson) and a publishing house known as the Gospel Trumpet Company (later Warner Press, Inc.). Warner’s preaching and publishing collected a rapidly expanding fellowship of gospel workers, evangelistic companies known as “flying messengers” and supportive adherents. Warner’s periodical, the Gospel Trumpet, shaped and nurtured the body of believers and guided their strategies for advance. Warner’s infant publishing ministry evolved into a major publishing house that promoted Warner’s principles of reform. That publishing effort greatly assisted Warner’s followers in spreading their message of holiness and unity. During the years of 1980 to 2005, Warner Press underwent drastic changes. These changes downsized the company from a major manufacturer and supplier of religious literature to a company without equipment, fewer employees, and a reduced product line. My research began with a historical study of Church of God literature. Further research examined how the Church used the press in fulfilling its biblical mandate to evangelize. My research then included three tours and interviews of successful on- demand printers. Their methods and processes are outlined in this study.

A gap exists between missional understanding and missional praxis in the churches of the Association of the Churches of God in Oregon and Southwest Washington. A new discipleship model needs to be implemented that utilizes coaching to equip parishioners to reach the Nones in their communities. This study explores the history of the Association and the changing understanding of mission through the years. The project also examines the challenges facing the diverse communities that make up the Association in the wake of the disintegration of Christendom and the rise of the Nones.
