WOW!  AWESOME! POWERFUL!
God was using the 2 preachers tonight!  

Brother Mike Chance preached a strong message on not 
sitting down.  Just a taste of the sermon:
He used a physical example of why we should not sit down
our worship and praises to God.  Two guys were asked to stand on the
platform, one had to pick the other guy up.  No problem.  Then they sat
down on the steps and one was asked to pick the other guy up, he couldn't
do it.  You see God can "pick us up" more if we are not sitting down our
worship and praises!  Wanna hear more?  Buy the tape..I can't begin to
explain the power of this message.

Bro Jeff Arnold did another outstanding job.  I have heard him twice
now in my life and each time he has left me with this thought..*ouch!*
His sermon was over two words..."Even then."  He did his usual toe
stompin and made these remarks on standards..
  
  We need to get off the thinking that standards are salvation.
  We worry so much about standards that when a girl realizes
  she made a mistake and got pregnant who is there to help her?

  We act so against movie theaters yet we will watch the movies
  on our VCR's at home.

  We aren't suppose to have T.V.'s but yet....let me just say this,
  would you watch whatever you are watching if God was
  sitting right next to you?  

  Statement made at beginning of sermon:
  I left my baseball bat at home so you can put away your tape measure!

I suggest to you all to buy the tapes for MARC 96' !!!
Gloves were put on and these preachers went at it with the devil
and the world!  Like Bro Richard M. said these guys give UPC 
doctrine full blast!


God Bless and look for Friday nights installment of my thoughts on MARC!
