#14-That song that compares God's love to a sloppy wet kiss

AKA "How He Loves Us."

I remember in the summer of last year my friend telling me to listen to the Kim Walker version "How He Loves Us" and I was stunned at how cool Kim Walker's voice was and how awesome the song was. And soon the youtube video made it's way around the circuit. And we all secretly grew teary eyed and all warm & Fuzzy inside when we heard a song that stated more than most songs we had ever heard, Just how much God loves us.

And then we all saw the video of the guy who wrote the song and how the song came about and we cried against and felt all warm & fuzzy in our heart again.


But lo and behold, it was not long when the song started making it's way around to be played at youth services and rally's alike and as any new thing introduced into Apostolic church, someone is bound to raise their voice in protest....the line "sloppy wet kiss" was just too much....

So every time we heard the song, we wondered if the soloist on the platform would sing the uncensored version of the song or the radio edited version that replaced the words "sloppy wet" with "beautiful." It didn't really matter, we were bound to let the song carry us to feeling God's love quite emotionally and intensely.

And then congress happened, and they played it two nights in a row as the focal point of the service before the actual sermon....to be determined is whether the double playing of the song was the parting funeral for the song, or just the song at it's peak in popularity.

    Love the song. Love the lyric "sloppy wet kiss." Release the artist by the prudish censorship of dignified critics.

#150-Holy Magic Hair (sort of)

By
Preface: As with many posts, the claims made in this post are far from being definitive to the whole apostolic movement. In fact I has been very surprised and pleased with the openness of many apostolic officials and higher ups to denounce the doctrine of "magic hair" as a heresy in recent months. It must also be noted that whatever controversy may be derived from this post, the thoughts are not really my own. Many men more articulate and intelligent than I have already tried to openly combat this theory and have done so in a far more effective fashion than I could. For the most comprehensive understanding of Holy magic hair, please visit  http://holymagichair.com/wordpress/ . Also note that this is not a criticism anyway in uncut hair, nor is it advocating hair cutting. I'm critiquing a doctrine that has developed around long hair. Okay, when I originally started SAL, I had a post about HMH (holy magic hair) in mind. However, after a beloved teacher of mine spoke o...

#115-Dressing Up For Church

By Anonymous
Editor’s Note: At the Stuff Apostolics Like blogging institute that consists of a simple blanket fort made out of a giant blanket and two kitchen chairs facing back to back some 5 feet apart, we wrestle from time to time on our purpose….. Remembering to take a minute and laugh at ourselves is our number one goal. However, I readily admit that this goal can come across cynical and overly deconstructive in it’s ambitions. So today, in this blog I want to introduce to you a new wing of a blog topic that seeks to build on our understanding and not destroy… It’s the slightly informative/slightly humorous/slightly obnoxious blog entry…And with this blog entry a side purpose is to educate as well as laugh. Of course these blog types will be few and far between, but let this serve as a forewarning as to not confuse when they do arrive….. without further adieu, The age old custom of dressing up for church isn’t so aged and isn’t so old. First, there is no record of average congre...

#171-Home Schooling (and other ways I began to confuse redemption for an escape)

By
When I was growing up I was shoved into the local public school system without a second thought. I was left to the wolves as they would shove evolution down my throat before I could even see above the counter at McDonald's. The system would also tell me where babies came from and mention the fluids involved before I knew how to say "three" properly (I always said "free"). If I was caught mentioning Christ or praying over my food, I would be invited to attend after school detention wherein I had to write on a notebook piece of paper over and over again "I will not use the alleged names of deities in the sky in common discussion amongst my friends, nor in prayer to myself." Okay, so I kind of exaggerated the above. Actually I exaggerated all of it. Public School was nothing stressful. The closest my Christianity clashed with public education was when my Mom didn't want me to read Wrinkle in Time because it contained witches as characters and talked ...
