Several weeks ago, a co-worker asked me about something he saw on the Discovery Channel. Apparently, a woman who had successfully fled a polygamist cult was interviewed on TV and made the statement, “After I escaped the group, I could then believe in dinosaurs.” My friend asked me what this lady meant.
I explained that some fundamentalist churches actually believe that dinosaurs did not exist in spite of the plethora of archeological proof that is on display in hundreds or even thousands of museums around the world! These people preach that Satan has placed fake dinosaur bones in the earth’s layers so that our faith in the Bible will be weakened!
The rejection of the validity of dinosaurs is (at best) well-meaning, but it is also quite absurd. These folks ignorantly feel that, if you believe that dinosaurs once roamed the earth, you can’t believe in the Bible. Not true.
== The existence of dinosaurs does NOT disprove the Bible!
== The validity of the Bible does NOT disprove the existence of dinosaurs.
We have just recorded a broadcast for Dynamic Christian Ministries which looks into the Genesis Creation account. It shows that Bible believers do NOT have to fear scientific discoveries. In fact, many of these discoveries actually prove the accuracy of historical accounts that are found in Scripture!
I hope you will take the time to watch this broadcast. I think you will find it interesting and informative.
In future broadcasts, we are going to study various topics in the book of Genesis--topics such as giants, fallen angels, cave men, Neanderthals, the pre-Flood world, and Noah’s ark.

UPDATE ON A BUNCH OF STUFF!
Nancy and I just got back from Birmingham, Alabama. We had a wonderful trip and got to fellowship with many of our wonderful brethren from several different states. People came from as far north as Michigan and from as far west as Texas. (Nancy and I weren’t the only ones who came from Texas.) While we were out there, Nancy gave a terrific presentation at the United Christian Ministries annual women’s conference. I didn’t get to hear it live because men weren’t allowed in the conference. Many of the women told me they enjoyed it and now her message is up on our DynamicChristianMinistries.org website. I hope you have a chance to watch this video. I think she did a great job, but maybe I am biased. J
We also added some more music to our website. I am blessed to be able to be in the DCM Trio where we have two terrific female vocalists, Stephanie Stotts and Kim Skelton. We just recently started this thing and we haven’t had a lot of rehearsals. About two weeks ago, we got out a camcorder and said, “Let’s just do this.” So we just started recording songs that we have worked on. The audio is not great from a technical point of view, but I think you will agree that these gals do a great job on their vocals. Our trio has seven new songs on the Music tab of our DCM website. Please check them out.
This Sunday, the DCM cast and crew are going to record another broadcast. The subject will be the Creation in Genesis. The book of Genesis is one of my favorite books of the Bible and I hope you will enjoy the presentation that we will put together for you. Over the years, I have found that people enjoy studying the book of Genesis because it takes you into so many areas: The Garden of Eden, cave men, Neandertal men, giants, fallen angels, the pre-Flood world, etc. Lots of stuff. We can even find the first prophecy of Jesus in the book of Genesis! It doesn’t get any better than that! We are going to talk about all these subjects in future broadcasts. I hope you won’t miss a single one.
We are enjoying some of the comments we get from people who visit our website. One gentleman recently wrote that he appreciated our ministry because it exists to serve the local church and not visa versa. He is correct! DynamicChristianMinistries.org does not exist for the purpose of asking you to help us. We exist to serve people in local churches. We sell nothing. Everything we have is absolutely free. The good part is that we don’t even know who goes to our website and accesses our materials. It’s like we have opened and stocked a store and left a sign on the door that says, “Come in and take what you want. Everything is free.” After hanging the sign, we walked away and we have no idea who is taking what. We don’t know if someone downloads an article or video or audio. We don’t need to know. The only thing that is important is that we want people to know this stuff is out there and it’s free. Praise God for His precious Bible truths which we want to disseminate to as many people as possible.
Please check our DynamicChristianMinistries.org website regularly because we are constantly adding new things. Thanks for listening.

We Want Jesus to Return!
We’re always adding things to the website and we hope you benefit from them. We’ve got a couple new songs that will be added to the “Music” tab in the next few days. The titles are A Brand New Song and Wayfaring Stranger. Let me tell you the story behind each one.
Wayfaring Stranger. This was recorded by my band called the Mojos back in the 60s. A long time ago! At that time, I was not a Christian. God had not called me at that point of my life. Back then, I was playing music in dives in Calumet City, Indiana, and in bars in the Old Town section of Chicago. My band played this song simply because we liked it. We had no idea what the words meant. After I was baptized in 1971, I re-looked at these words and then realized their meaning that we are pilgrims and sojourners in this life as we wait for the return of Jesus to rule the earth as King of Kings. The quality of the recording is not that great. If was initially recorded analog on reel-to-reel tape, then transferred to cassette tape, and then transferred to digital CD. I hope you enjoy the music and I hope that the words bring you inspiration.
A Brand New Song. This is song that I wrote not that long ago. The message of the song is really meaningful to me, but the music is somewhat of a lark. One evening, I thought I would try to record the song by laying down all the vocal tracks myself. All the voices you hear on the recording are mine. This is obviously not studio-quality, but I hope you will like it anyway. This song also deals with the return of Jesus.
The return of Jesus should consume our lives! Telling the world of His return should be an overriding obsession of our lives!
Thy Kingdom come!

Is God Spanking America?
It seems as though any time a natural disaster hits America, the evangelicals (and some Church of God leaders) say that this is God’s way of punishing us for being an evil nation. When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, many said God was punishing that city for having so many homosexuals. Others said New Orleans was being punished for being a city of drunkenness and fornication. Some even attributed this disaster to too many inter-racial marriages!
Does God punish nations? Absolutely! The Old Testament shows how God would subject Israel to the ravages of outside armies for their sins. The people would repent, God would remove the punishment, and then the people would sin again. This Evil-Captivity-Delivery cycle is seen over and over in the book of Judges. It is mentioned no less than seven times in this one book alone. Even so, in God’s mercy, He gave Israel more peace than captivity during the times of the judges. Probably at a rate of five years of peace for every one year of captivity in spite their unwillingness to obey God.
The prophet Ezekiel makes very clear the reasons for Israel’s later captivity and enslavement. You can read it in Ezekiel 20:12-24. Verses 23 and 24 indicate that the main reasons for Israel’s enslavement were idolatry and Sabbath-breaking. These two sins are very prevalent in the U.S. The Church of God needs to do a better job of preaching that this nation needs to abandon idolatry and Sabbath-breaking. We are not effectively getting this message out.
Nevertheless, when there is a national or regional disaster, can we emphatically state that that disaster is God’s punishment? Absolutely not!
We know the reasons why the Israelites were punished by foreign armies because the Bible clearly tells us. But God does NOT make it crystal clear that our nation suffers natural disasters because of sin. We simply do not know the mind of God in these matters. Like it or not, there are no Jeremiahs or Ezekiels on the world scene to explain this type of phenomenon to us. Some may claim to be prophets or apostles, but they are liars if they claim these titles and they are liars if they emphatically preach that hurricanes and floods are a result of God’s anger.
Again, we need to preach repentance to the United States!
But there is no way to say for sure why reasons hurricanes and floods have been hitting our lands for hundreds of years. To attribute these disasters to God could very well be blaspheme.
Let’s be careful in these matters! Let’s not be quick to judge others. Let’s not be quick to condemn people. Let’s not be quick to claim that another’s misfortune is because of something he did to displease God. You never know when you might experience a difficult financial or health situation. Surely, you don’t want others to claim it is because you are sinful.
Let’s continue to preach God’s truth. Let’s continue to condemn sinful practices and false doctrine. But let’s also show the world that the Church of God is filled with people who have an abundance of Christian love!
By the way, we are excited to announce that we have a new tab on our website. It is called Sabbechism. (Nancy and I made up that word.) Check it out. I think you will find it informative and interesting.

Be a Barean
Not long ago, Nancy gave a presentation at a Women's Conference. The title was, "All You Need Is Love." I am told it was well-received and that a lot of the women thanked her for it.
But a problem surfaced some time later. It turned out that one lady disliked the fact that Nancy had handed out heart-shaped candy during her presentation. When Nancy found out, she called her and they worked out their difference. Nancy assured her that she does not keep Valentine’s Day and certainly wasn’t promoting it. Nancy apologized for giving wrong signals and promised she would never again give out heart-shaped candy at a Women’s Conference--even if that candy is on clearance and can be bought cheap. J
I think there are a couple of lessons that can be learned from this instance:
1) If two people really want to work out a difference, they can. What if Nancy’s friend refused to accept her apology? Or what if Nancy were unwilling to offer the apology? The outcome of this would have been entirely different.
2) But, even more importantly, I think this incident shows that we in God’s Church need to hold each other accountable in a loving way. Nancy was challenged on whether or not she keeps a pagan day when she performed an act which gave mixed signals. There is nothing wrong with Nancy being challenged.
Actually, I think we would all be amazed if we knew what doctrinal beliefs others really hold deep down inside. And every person’s beliefs are his own business if he chooses to keep them private.
But the minute you set yourself up in a leadership position in God’s Church, others have the right (maybe the responsibility) to ask you what you really believe. As long as Nancy is willing to stand up before God’s people and teach, she has to be willing to be honest about her beliefs.
When someone claims to be a Christian, it’s not up to me to judge whether or not he is really converted. But when someone claims to be a minister or an apostle or a leader of any kind, I have a right (maybe a responsibility) to ask him to prove what he says he is. Questioning someone’s leadership is totally different than questioning someone’s conversion.
Let’s be like the Bereans. Let’s prove all things. If someone wants to educate you, make sure he is qualified to do so. And, Nancy, no more heart-shaped candies. I don’t care how cheap they are on sale.

More on… Fruit or Nut? Which?
It’s been a while since I have updated this blog. Sorry about that. Nancy and I have been busy. We traveled to Ft Wayne, Indiana, to keep the last day of Unleavened Bread with United Christian Ministries. We had a wonderful time with the folks up there. Their friendliness, warmth, and hospitality were superb! I gave a sermon out there on Law and Grace. It should be available on our website any day now. I hope you will check it out. The title is “Grace Plus Nothing Equals Salvation?”
In the sermon, I pointed out that it is understandable how a Christian can get confused on the exact time table of events of Passover in 1487 BC and of Passover in 31 AD. Not all issues of doctrine are easily proven as we sometimes see through a glass darkly. But there is perfect clarity on Scripture on Law and Grace! God makes this one easy for those who are led by His holy spirit.
At this time, I don’t understand the confusion on this subject that currently exists among some in the Church of God. And even among men who claim to have been ministers of Jesus Christ since the 1960s! Why is there a need to have all these conferences and meetings on the subject? Could it be that there are those who are attempting to subtly do away with the Sabbath and the annual high days? He that hath an ear let him hear. Dynamic Christian Ministries not only has my sermon on the subject of Law and Grace; we also have an article if you want to have something to print out.
We have also completed two new puppet shows that will soon appear on this website. If you have kids or grandkids, I hope you are giving them an opportunity to watch these shows. These shows would be a great addition to your local Sabbath school class. They would be a good alternative to some of the inappropriate kids’ programming out there on TV these days. We apologize for the current quality of sound. We are working to improve it. We think we got it fixed on our most recent show. And we hope to make all future shows better as well. One more thought: It is also our desire to develop Buckaroo Bob coloring books for little kids!
We are also adding our first piece of recorded music to the website. It is a song sung by my good friend, Scott Allen. It is a piece he wrote and recorded for his mom. I think you will find it uplifting. It’s really good stuff. The melody. The instruments. The vocals.
We are also working on new recordings for broadcasts.
In the news lately, there has been considerable publicity regarding a Fundamentalist Mormon group of West Texas having all their children taken away by the state of Texas. (It is not my place to comment on whether or not the state was justified in its actions.)
I just found out that there is another group having similar problems regarding accusations of polygamy and child molestation. And these people are Sabbath-keepers! (Normally, I would say they are Sabbath-keeping Church of God people, but I believe they do not like the word “church” and I believe they don’t like the word “God.”)
According to last Saturday’s front page of the Dallas Morning News, this group claims to keep all 613 laws of the Torah. This is impossible! No one can keep all 613 laws of the Torah. For example, you can’t keep any Torah law regarding the Temple because the Temple doesn’t exist. For this reason, Christians must do their best to figure out which of those laws are in effect and which aren’t.
Again, no one keeps ALL of these 613 laws. But, then again, there is no one who does not keep ANY of them. No matter what religion you are, you keep at least some of these laws! If you are an atheist, you keep at least some of these laws!
But let’s get back to the group that is mentioned in a recent Dallas Morning News. If you can believe the DMN, the women in that congregation must wear latex gloves when it is that time of month! I can’t imagine asking a woman to do that. How demeaning! How humiliating!
All of this discussion goes back to one of the basics of Christianity: God called you to bear fruit; He did NOT call you to be a nut!
The good news is that God’s people can think for themselves. But sometimes the bad news is that God’s people can think for themselves. We are free to worship God in the way that conscience dictates. This freedom requires us to act responsibly. God does not want us getting side-tracked into goofy beliefs and practices.
Christians! Bear fruit! Don’t act like nuts!

Women’s Conferences Galore!
Praise God that the women in the Church of God love to attend women’s conferences! These assemblies offer wonderful opportunities for women to assemble. They worship, praise, teach, fellowship, and show love for one another.
I am pleased to note that they do all of this without the need of some male to “oversee” them. The holy spirit guides them into mature actions without the need of a man to “supervise” their efforts. Believe it or not, there are some who feel that women can’t assemble for a conference like this without the guidance of men!
Let’s look at three specific women’s conferences in three different parts of the country.
But first, I would like to encourage you to check out our brand new article entitled, “What is the Role of Women In the Church?” You may be surprised by the answers that we find from the Bible. If this article on women is not on our website by the time you read this blog, please be patient. It should be posted within a few days.
Back to our women’s conferences.
Hot Springs, Arkansas. A women’s conference will be held in Hot Springs from May 16 thru May 18 (Friday thru Sunday). The theme will be “God’s Greatest Gift” (I Corinthians 13:13).
The setting will be the beautiful Ouchita Mountains which should be lush and green that time of year.

Big Sandy, Texas. About 100 women met together here in Big Sandy several weeks ago. The women who organized this conference have been involved in Women’s Conferences since 1999! The theme of their 2008 conference was “A Christian Woman’s Journey: Growing Along the Way.” Their next conference will be held March 13 - 15, 2009. The theme will be “Preparing the Bride of Christ.”
For more information, contact my lovely wife, Nancy. Her email address is Info@EastTexasWomensConference.com.
Birmingham (Fultondale), Alabama. Many women will be congregating in the Fultondale Fairfield Inn for the July 18 – 20 women’s conference. They haven’t announced the theme yet. You may contact Peggy Wooten at RayWooten@aol.com. Or call 888/985-9066.
We are grateful to all these women for the wonderful example they set when it comes to Christian fellowship! Too often, the world thinks that being obedient to God makes for a dull and boring life. Not so! Being a follower of Christ brings us so much happiness and joy! I would like to encourage all women who seek the Lord to attend one or some or all of these conferences. No matter what your age, these conferences will benefit you. They are run by sincere, dedicated women. I have known Rosy Hally and Peg Wooten for years. These sisters in Christ are working hard to serve you in this great ministry.
I am pleased to note that they do all of this without the need of some male to “oversee” them. The holy spirit guides them into mature actions without the need of a man to “supervise” their efforts.

Birmingham (Fultondale), Alabama. Many women will be congregating in the Fultondale Fairfield Inn for the July 18 – 20 women’s conference. They haven’t announced the theme yet. You may contact Peggy Wooten at RayWooten@aol.com. Or call 888/985-9066.
We are grateful to all these women for the wonderful example they set when it comes to Christian fellowship! Too often, the world thinks that being obedient to God makes for a dull and boring life. Not so! Being a follower of Christ brings us so much happiness and joy! I would like to encourage all women who seek the Lord to attend one or some or all of these conferences. No matter what your age, these conferences will benefit you. They are run by sincere, dedicated women. I have known Rosy Hally and Peg Wooten for years. These sisters in Christ are working hard to serve you in this great ministry.
