		<description>I got your back bro. Really! It is high time, past time for the Gospel to be preached again. 	The real Gospel, not the whimsy gospel of the past 30 years, but a Gospel that lines up with thw Word!

		<description>What do you do? Well, when the truth is ignored - rebellion becomes duty.
We band together and we start a revolution, totally outside of their control or influence. We exercise our first amendment rights and we cry loud and spare not. We demand change and if they will not listen - we leave. We start our own churches and organizations with the express purpose of destroying the work of the devil- even his work within the churches. 

We refuse to sit down and shut up. We refuse to go quietly back inside while the world no longer even offers the pretense of obligation to God or His word.

We have started an association called the Vintage Faith Centers of America and we will be helping people from all over start chapters in their towns. 

We will practice civil disobedience, we will serve people at gas stations and Wal-Mart, we will be the first to volunteer for disasters and be the last to leave, we will target bars and porn shops with action, we will cause disturbances when needed, we will use guerilla media and expose the lies of the enemy and the pathetic state of the modern sinner-sensitive church, we will revive the good traditions that the previous generations threw away so that we have healthy faith and healthy families. We will take out tents again, we will find the gifts again and use them to rip the devil's lips off (as they were intended for).

In short, we will remember the plot and take the Gospel where it is needed and pick a fight that is needed so badly in our day. 

How's that for starters?</description>

		<description>"Here’s the problem: you are besieged. You are trapped behind the four walls of your church by the enemy outside and the only ministry that you know is to other besieged people. You are devouring one another and defining ministry gifts by what you can do while you are besieged, not by what God had intended for us as His church!"

That has to be one of the most profound descriptions that I have ever read about the institutional church in America.

I'll often lament over how little work that our local body is doing outside of the four walls.  We take the work of the (very) few and claim it as the work of the entire congregation.  BS.

I'll add my voice as well - “What should we do?”.  Let me rephrase that - "What should I do?", or better yet "What should I let God do through me?"</description>

		<description>AMEN!! If I wasn't in the library right now I would scream my head off! A voice of clarity in midst of insanity. Count me in, if I perish, I perish. Better to lose the world and keep my soul.</description>

		<description>WOW! Boy, that hit the nail on the head! So I'll be the first to ask, what should we do? It's pretty lonely out here and you know change comes hard to most people.

		<description>I want to thank you Rev James and your family for your ministry. Thank You for being such a faithful servant of God,Thank You for your standard of excellence for God,Thank You for preaching the truth,Thank you for your passion for winning souls for the kingdom,Thank you for your dedication.
You and your family have impacted my husband &#38; I greatly with your ministry....
My husband &#38; I  never heard of a camp meeting or tent revival until we met you...when you told us of the stores of old...my husband &#38; I wanted to know more and experience it first hand...little did we know what was going to happen to us spiritually.
A tent meeting takes down the walls of the "church"...it's not about going to church and looking good and  fulfilling our obligation to attend....there are no bounderies in the wide open field. Your flesh will feel the elements of heat, wind. cold, rain, sunshine. Your spirit sees the vast God He is.You hear the word preached, you know God's presence is there and you know the 4 walls of a church building are nothing....You preached the importance of people knowing what church really means...It's the body of Christ being in unity...seeking and doing God's will...bringing in the harvest.....that it is the body of Christ that is the church of Jesus Christ...not being inside the 4 walls on Sunday and maybe Wednesday. It's about getting equiped with in the body and going out and doing the work. 

This camp meeting has changed my life forever...it impacted me greatly spiritually...The things that I thought were in my heart but were only in my head....got right down in the deepest parts of my heart....there is a fire in there that will not go out....God gave me such revelation of importance of setting my standards higher for God...such a deep passion for lost souls...there is no time to slack...the window of time is small. We are  here for a vapor of time to do God's will.
I will fulfill my duties here for God...I will keep my heart open at all times to Him...no slacking allowed...I will move when He tells me to move. I will obey when he asks me to serve Him.

We witness so many healings and salvations for the time the tent was up in our field..Glory to God!!! 

I feel I have shared only a tip of the ice berg of what happened at the tent meeting...there is so much more...God is a God of Love and will give to those who seek him...I know there is more He is putting in my heart each day.

Blessings

		<description>I believe we need to start a 'special task force' to pray for those who fall... And i really think the statement of 'leave no man behind' is CURRENTLY a foreign concept to christians but i believe we need to cultivate that so that we will be more worried and spend our effort on raising those who fall rather than judging those who fall and stumble</description>

		<description>James, 

My husband and I recieved so much this last week and a half that it's unreal.  It has helped us grow in the Lord, your sermons are GREAT (from what my kids let me hear!) :O)  

It was truely AMAZING AND I HAVE NEVER FELT THE HOLY SPIRIT UPON ME AS I DID IN THAT TENT!    I am just a baby in Christ, having been saved for only a few years, when we heard you preach at Brighter Days last Winter I think it was, we KNEW that we needed to attend the Tent Meeting.  I have such a yearning and hunger for the Lord, I can't seem to get enough!  Praise God for you and your family!   

Thank you so much for everything this past week,

I'm working on a relationship with the Lord, for me it has been hard.  I am learning how to forgive and give my burdens to Jesus.  I was brought up in a home with out GOD, I don't want that for my kids.  I'm trying to get past the hurt and get more of the Joy that God wants me to have.  I was physically and sexually abused by my step father from the time I was 11-17 I missed out on being a CHILD.  My reason for getting into that was Wednesday night you had prayed over me when you were calling for Warriors for God, and you had me bring up the person in my mind that has caused me so much pain.  The LORD has helped me Forgive him, I no longer feel that ANGER, I just want to pray for him more then ever.  HOW does that work?  I just want him to better himself now that I understand that SATAN has decieved him.......I feel pity for him........my mom is still married to him, I am the oldest of nine children and 7 of them still live at home.  I was always worried that his drinking and pornography addictions would lead him to do the same to my sisters, but through my prayers the past years, I believe God has answered some of them, he has now quit drinking......but he is still abusive, I have to go to court next month and testify against him ......I just wanted to ask you to say a prayer for my family.      I love my siblings and want them to make it to Heaven but they are decieved living in that house as well......they need prayer.  

Sorry this is all over the place......

GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!  I can't wait to see you guys again! Have  a safe trip home, you truely have blessed Sauk Centre!

		<description>James, 

Salvation is always great no matter how few or many. Heck, just one gets me. 

Here is something to think about: Jesus said that the harvest is white, but the laborers are few. When a harvest is white it is over ripe. This may not seem like a mind blowing thing to you, but growing up in the city kept me away from real harvests (like wheat and corn). That blows my mind. If there were few workers on real farms the price of bread would be $50 a loaf. 

The cost of souls is going up. How much do we want to pay?

Now that I have revealed how easily I am awed I will go. 

Blessings</description>
