The Keswick Week 1952 The Keswick Week 1952 O glorious Keswick! Can we e'er forget The blest hours spent in meditation sweet Within the sacred tent, Where earnest souls in chastened spirits met, All calmly gathered—filling every seat, And Spirit-sent, To hear God's Word propounded and made clear, That hungry souls might haply find sweet peace And full surrender make; Where holy men of God, their Saviour dear Upholding faithfully, strove to increase, For His dear sake, God's family, who vow henceforth to serve, In singleness of heart and purpose deep, Their Master, Jesus Christ. Oh, may we follow on and never swerve From our allegiance, but in meekness keep Our holy tryst. Oh, may God bless His servants mightily, Give them the Spirit's power a sleeping Church to rouse, Win to a deeper love For Christ, all careless Christians. May they be Stirred to the depths; then in the Father's house All meet above. -ESSIE BERNSTEIN NOT FOR RESALE Reproduced by the X-tended Missions Network By the authority of The Keswick Convention Not to be reproduced.

  • Thesis.FINAL2.20160629.FINAL VERSION
    PREACHING THE GOSPEL IN LIGHT OF THE COVENANTS by STEVEN JOHNSTONE B.Com., University of Cape Town, 1998 A THESIS Submitted to the faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS IN THEOLOGICAL STUDIES at Reformed Theological Seminary Charlotte, North Carolina June 2016 Accepted: ___________________________________ The Rev. Guy P. Waters, Ph.D., Thesis Advisor ___________________________________ The Rev. James N. Anderson, Ph.D., Ph.D., Global Academic Dean ii ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate how the message of evangelists today should be richly informed by the covenants of Scripture. I will show how the New Testament itself witnesses to the fact that many of the Old Testament covenant promises are still available to be inherited through union with Christ, giving special attention to what this means for the gospel preaching of evangelists. I will demonstrate how Christ has fulfilled, or recapitulated, the conditions of all God’s previous covenants, endured their curses (if applicable) and inherited their blessings, and how all those who are united to Christ by faith become fellow heirs of these promises with Him. Truly the blessings of the New Covenant are great, the promises of God in the gospel are great and the joy that we should feel is great, because our Saviour is a great Saviour and our salvation is a great salvation. By using the ‘means’ of covenant, which God Himself has used throughout time to work His way towards our appearing with Christ in glory, I hope to display in some measure the wondrous riches of this great gospel which we as evangelists are called to herald.

  • Jeannie Seely Full Length Bio
    Jeannie Seely Full Length Bio On the night of September 16, 1967, Jeannie Seely marked an important milestone in her music career by joining the world-famous Grand Ole Opry. The distinctive-voiced lady referred to as ―Miss Country Soul‖ became the first – and to date, the only – Pennsylvania native to become an Opry member. Today Jeannie makes clear that it's still a thrill and an honor each time she performs on the Opry stage. "I feel very fortunate to be part of the Opry tradition," the Grammy-winning singer says, "and I truly am indebted to all the wonderful fans that have supported me over the years.‖ Jeannie Seely is among a select group of country artists who have scored No. 1 hits as a solo artist, as a duet partner and as a songwriter. Born on July 6, 1940, in Titusville, Pennsylvania – the town where the world‘s very first oil well was drilled in 1859 – Jeannie grew up as the youngest of Leo and Irene Seely's four children. The family's two-story farmhouse still stands along a dirt road outside of nearby Townville, a community of about 300 folks located in the northwestern corner of the Keystone State. Jeannie's interest in music was influenced strongly by her parents. Leo Seely worked hard on the family's farm and at a Titusville steel mill, but found time on weekends to play the banjo and call local square dances. Irene Seely would sing with her daughter every Saturday morning while the two baked bread together.

  • Prison Poetry Project
    Prison Poetry Project A collection of Creative Writing Workshop ideas and poetry by Rod Martin Dedication Inspired by prison poets of Hawaii, this book goes out to inmates everywhere who have something to tell us all. Why you should take a good look at this Prison Poetry Project guide: This book can help anyone interested in leading poetry workshops in a prison setting. There are many men and women in prison who have a lot of poetry in them, who have something to say and these activities will help them develop open and honest self-expression. I call them Creative Writing workshops; it sounds more official. The activities are primarily poetry but you can try your hand at short stories, dialogues, plays, songs and even some improvisational theatre. It might help some of the inmates. It could do wonders for you. Ideas are powerful agents of change. You’ll end up writing more. Here’s hoping this book will help you help them express their experiences and concerns. Comments from inmates participating in the Poetry Project: I have really enjoyed myself in this class. It has allowed me to freely express myself in ways that I never could have while with the rest of the population. There hasn’t been a time when I didn’t go back to my unit feeling refreshed. This class will open your mind to a new way of thinking, where you can express your creativity and learn more about yourself. This course provides me with an opportunity to hear, discuss, and write about ideas that are not usually verbalized in ‘the quad’, in a safe environment.
