I was visiting in Texas and was being shown the various Church of Gods in the area. My host stated to me that I would not fit into certain CoGs because they utilize the charismatic music, drama and dancers, something that I preach against. Then I was taken to another CoG and told that this would be the one that I would fit in because they are the “Old-Time” Church of God. Of course, I do not believe in the “Old-Time” Church of God because I do not think there is such a thing. To imply such a statement means the opposite is true; in this case, “New-Time” CoG. I believe that church should be like that on the Day of Pentecost, a place and people where the Spirit of God is present. So it seems to me that today there are two different kind of CoGs in the land; the modern/worldly and the holiness. A major problem is, the two cannot mix in the CoG. One will come out on top. I think I can predict which one it will be. I say instead of the dance, why don’t we teach our young people about prayer and the power of God? How many CoG young people have actually seen a miracle? I can tell you the answer, “just about no one.” Such a shame. Many preachers fail in what our Lord commissioned us to do – HEAL THE SICK, CAST OUT DEVIL.
