This made me Laugh!
About 2 weeks ago I made a post about things I hear people say about our church...the next one I am about to write about made me literally LOL (Laugh Out Loud). Someone came up to me a couple of days ago...maybe weeks ago now...and said, 'Someone asked me today about our church. They said, 'don't you go to Scott King's church?' I told them yes. They said, I heard that your church isn't pentecostal anymore. My response was WHAT? They said, 'and I heard all Scott talks about in the pulpit is how sexy his wife is.' I am about to laugh typing this. First of all let me say, Sha Baa Baa...we ARE PENTECOSTAL! We don't allow just anyone to do just anything they want too. I have been in those kind of churches and quite frankly I can't see how God gets any Glory out of Chaos. But....my chaos might be someone else's Breakthrough...so I am not judging. Let me explain. When I first got started in ministry I was in revival at Belton Church of God. One Saturday night 3 people came and sat on the second row of the church. They were speaking in tongues and 'acting Pentecostal.' That night the service was weird and confusing...some of you were there...I found out later that those 3 people were witches...yep you heard me right witches and they came to disrupt what God was doing...and me being naive, I didn't know any better, they looked and acted Pentecostal so, at CIOC we have freedom but we don't allow just anyone to do just anything; also, we are trying to reach un-churched people and you know as well as I do some people don't understand many of the things we do as classical Pentecostals.
Now for the second statement. I am in LOVE with my wife. I love her more now than ever. When you go through what we have been through the past couple of months it draws you closer. I DO believe she is sexy. I don't know that I have said it quite that way from the pulpit but if I had at least I didn't lie. Our church has ALWAYS gone where others have feared to go. Two years ago we had a family therapist come and talk about sex therapy in the Christian home. Before you have a heartattack we didn't do it during regular services we had special services on Friday and Saturday with no one under 18 and not married allowed. It is my believe that Christians should have the greatest marriages in the world. We should have our finances, our families and our sex life better than ANYONE without God. Just my two cents. So, if my thinking my wife is GOOD LOOKING offends you please don't let it. At least it's MY wife and not some other woman. God bless! I hope you are laughing with me. Love you!!

God is building another church in Anderson, South Carolina. This will not be a copy of any other church. This church's builder and maker is God also. Remember the same God who ordered the Roses, also ordered the Tulips, (very different) We welcome other churches in Anderson, South Carolina. TOGETHER, we represent the great and mighty God and that HE IS LOVE TO THIS CITY!
We love you and praise God for you. We smile as we hear of God's favor on your labor of love in the city.
But please my Brother or my Sister, pleae don't allow the enemy to trick you into lowering your integrity by judging or critizing a different work of God that you don't have all the facts for. It is my thought that should you get caught up in doing this, first of all you hurt God's feelings and He COULD take your next blessing and place on the one you are doing this against.
We as leaders if we are not careful can fall short by critizing or judging something we don't understand or is very different or don't have all the facts for. Neither of these qualify us to speak so loosely.
We are all still operating out of a human body with a human mouth and tongue. So let's take the higher road and pray for our brother or sister across town instead of allowing the enemy to party with our mouths. Let's don't give him a place. It's amazing the sinners can get together and work together and make great things happen even though they are working in different areas. Wouldn't it be just wonderful if we Christians could celebrate each other and support each other and refuse to speak evil against each other. Wow! That really sounds like a God's Way to me.
And we, with open arms of love welcome you to come and see and experience the craftsmanship of God in a different way at Covenant International Outreach Center for yourself. Sundays 10:30am and Wednesday 7:pm We hope to see you soon. We love you and are praying for you and God's favor on you as well.
