\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In 1967-68 I attended God’s Bible School and College.\u00a0 This school is still going strong in 2011.\u00a0 They have added new buildings and new people, but their religious stance remains the same.\u00a0\u00a0 It has been over 40 years and yet I remember my experiences at GBSC as some of the richest in my life.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Today I attend a non-denominational church in Toledo, Ohio.\u00a0\u00a0 They still preach Jesus as Lord and still teach a life of dedication to service.\u00a0 Many Christians today have strayed so far from the true gospel that it’s difficult to separate them from the world.\u00a0 At GBSC we didn’t have that problem.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Our dress code was strict.\u00a0 Our girls hair was long.\u00a0 We had chapel every day.\u00a0 We ministered to the poor and needy.\u00a0 We witnessed to the down cast and gave hope to the hopeless.\u00a0 Our lives revolved around serving Jesus every day and in every way we could.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We sang songs like, “Victory in Jesus”, “The Old Rugged Cross”,\u00a0 “Blessed Assurance”, and “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”.\u00a0 Songs that spoke to the power and faithfulness of our God.\u00a0 Those songs stirred hope in the hearts of the sad and lonely.\u00a0 The atmosphere at G BSC was one of encouragement and integrity.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Are these people perfect?\u00a0 Of course not, but they do have a way of living that is worth remembering.\u00a0 You won’t find their students in short shorts or mini skirts.\u00a0 You won’t find their students with tons of makeup and tight slacks.\u00a0\u00a0 They won’t be cursing in one breath and praising God in the next.\u00a0 \u00a0It was a simple way of life.\u00a0 They do not look like the world. They do not act like the world.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 II Corinthians 6:17 “…come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.”<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 I believe we still should be separated from the world.\u00a0 Maybe we don’t need all the strict rules and regulations of GBSC, but we need some rules.\u00a0 We have gone too far the other way.\u00a0 I believe we need more of that “Old Time Religion” today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
