After a long time of waiting on the Lord and even very close to stopping the "Old Paths" for good, there has been a clear vision given to re-start this publication.

The "Old Paths" was a publication that come out monthly that had 6 pages of content somewhat similar to a newspaper style print publication with revival quotes and featured articles and pictures. The archive is still available here with the 5 issues that you can still download in pdf format:
https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=429

The "Old Paths" is going to be offered as a actual print magazine (full color cover and black and white inside pages). Of course it will still be offered as a free pdf download as before but you will also have the option to subscribe to the print publication to be mailed to you.

The magazine is going to start on a very small basis probably a print run of 50-100 issues at first and depending on the demand it will grow.

It will be on a quarterly basis (every 3 times, 4 publications a year).

More information will be following, please do ask any questions, give comments, features you would like in the magazine, if you would be interesting in subscribing, etc. thanks dear saints.

Dear saints,

This is going to be quite something and I know there are quite a few that have been asking of it's whereabouts.

Watch this space.

This is so wonderful! Praise God for this 'resurrection'. I have really missed Old Paths...it's going to be wonderful to have something like it again.
One of my favorite things about Old Paths is the last page that has five to six short quotes from different Christians. Those are powerful.
Are you going to feature different Christians in each magazine? Or have a regular column for some of the more well-known Christian speakers/writers? It would be neat to have a main article by Charles Finney (just for example here) and then have a bio on Finney (even lengthier than you have done in former Old Paths). It would require more writing but it is helpful to know more about the writer/speaker of the article. I love Christian biographies and I definately have more interest in what someone has to say if I know what God has done in their lives.

Hmm, there is a lot of potential here. May God give you wisdom in this new opportunity of ministry!

Are you going to feature different Christians in each magazine? Or have a regular column for some of the more well-known Christian speakers/writers?

Yes, there are going to be God willing 32 pages to feature content, so there will be much opportunity to share new christian speakers from the past and also many great revival accounts. Having a regular column is something I am going to definetly do and ask around 4-5 current christian speakers to take on this responsibility!

Yes, having longer bio's is a great idea! I will write that down with the other list of potential formats and ideas. I really know this is going to be a huge blessing to many, do keep praying for wisdom to put this together right, I really feel I am in the will of God doing this. Thanks brothers and sisters.

Brothers and Sisters,

There has been great progress on praying for this project and planning the various stages of development and release. There still is a need to get a APPLE laptop computer to run the software needed to publish this magazine. I have some of the costs covered but am waiting for more to come in. In the meanwhile I have been researching, gathering images, content, and getting people involved to participate in this project.

My hopes is to have the first issue released within 2-4 months from this date. Please do pray, help support and even send in any hi-res images of old revival speakers (that would be a help). I would also like to hear some of the topics that you would like to see covered. Obviously historical revivals are going to be covered. But I am going to try and have a theme for each issue ie, one issue on the ~~[i]~~Welsh Revival[/i] and another on the ~~[i]~~Salvation Army[/i], and another on the ~~[i]~~Great Awakening[/i].

Any feedback is welcome.

First of all, i think this is great. :)

I think it would be neat if a sketch of certain Churches and ministries were made. Maybe a look into what Tozer's Church was like while he was pastor, and how it is today. Or Paris Reidhead's Gospel Tabernacle. And maybe a look into Last Days Ministries then and now.

Just a thought.

Do you have any donation from printing, your own press, or a printer who has volunteered his services for this newsletter? With the small runs needed it would be digital, any digital printers out there volunteering? I love the content of your newsletters, if only they were pushed out to the masses to empower the whole Church.

Thats a excellent idea to feature a older church and some history of the men of God that came from them. I will seriously consider this, we are a temple not made with hands but the "church" fellowships where we meet have a special signifigance at times. I am glad to hear people's ideas that they would like in the magazine, the Lord has showed me much clear direction so far but I am open to the voices of the saints, because this magazine is a print resource for the saints of God to be encouraged to follow the OLD PATHS!

Praise God! This ministry is truly unique, and has been such a blessing in my life. I just want to thank God for Sermonindex.

Also, in regards to my above post, when i said "I think this is great", i was referring to The Old Paths publication, and not my idea. After seeing it this time, it looked to me like i was talking about my idea.

I am going to be having a section for quotes, featured bios, older sermons, historical reviews of movements and revivals, photo sections. My hope is to use many photos and images in the creation of the magazine. I will have some contemprary speakers that will be contributing to the magazine but primarly older sermons and articles from the past.

I really believe God is going to be using this to get the message of revival, restoration and reformation to the church of Jesus Christ. Do keep praying brothers and sisters that all the steps of this project will be given to the Lord.

The Lord has opened some great doors and production of the OLD PATHS is well on its way. Do pray that God's will is accomplished. Some great men of God are willing to help to make this a great resource for the body of Christ towards praying for revival and walking with God.

Wow! That's cool. Glad that resources were presented to you to be able to do this in magazine format and that you have the prayers and help of people for this project. That's awesome! =)

Brothers and Sisters,

There has been some great progress with this project of bringing back the OLD PATHS. I have alot of potential writers and people that are willing to contribute. The first issue release is looking to happen October 2006! The OLD PATHS will be available for a free pdf download which might be a big file size, its a full magazine with full image cover and around 30-32 pages in length.

I will be doing a small print run professionally of anywhere between 50-200 copies of the first issue. There will be a opportunity for you to subscribe to get the quarterly magazine (4 times a year). I am thinking of $60 for the year (4 issues), the reason for the price would be shipping which would vary world-wide and also the small print runs of 50 to 200 issues would be costly compared to doing 1000's. Do post here or email me if you think you would be interested in subscribing, You can even do so ahead of time and secure a issue to be sent to you via mail.

I will get up a link to subscribe for the amount to paypal later on before the issue release. but you can go ahead if you wish and make a 1 time payment of $60 for the next year of issues: https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/donations/

I know some people have requested this option to be made available in print form. Of couse the issue will always be available freely via pdf download and sent out in this fashion via the bi-weekly email newsletter.

If you have any questions do let me know.

JoeA Aug 3, 2006

The production of the magazine is going along well. The date for the release realistically will be January 1st 2007 instead of October 1st 2006. God is arranging alot of great contributers to make this magazine a very valuable resource for those who are desiring to see revival in the church.

I have recieved countless emails with questions about the OLD PATHS, So I have decided to continue with the month Old Path issues, I have produced ISSUE no6 an august release. It is available for download now and will be linked to in the email newsletter being sent out in 2 days. Simply click on the link below to print and save this issue:

The Old Paths Newsletter - Issue 06

When is the deadline for subscribing?

When is the deadline for subscribing?

I will open up the subscriptions in the next few weeks. I want to get things abit more finalized with the magazine first and I am pretty sure the release date of the first issue will be January 1st, 2006. My hopes is that over 100 people on sermonindex will subscribe before the first issue comes out! This is a exciting new move and part of the sermonindex.net ministry. I will ensure to post it in this forum thread when the subscription becomes available.
