hi! my name is jim purcell and i live in baton rouge la. i have been saved for 42 years and still am in love with Jesus. i even love lahry. i enjoy the sermons but the forums are sometimes a little disturbing to me. i feel that i have something to offer or contribute but i sometimes feel i would add to confusion. i too have been influenced by len ravenhill and martha and paul r. i had a lot of fellowship with them in their home and in mine when they lived in zachary la. knowing the ravenhills put a seriousness in this joyous soul. eternity consciousness is a maturing thing. please excuse my ignorance of the computer and how to use it. love Jesus and th folks he created, jimp

Welcome Jim!A most warm welcome to you.i have been saved for 42 years and still am in love with Jesus. i even love lahry. What a profound statement! My, I do hope you might share some of your walking with the Lord with us all and secondly, I love Lahry too! Think there is quite a few who have been touched by his true heart. :-D i enjoy the sermons but the forums are sometimes a little disturbing to me. i feel that i have something to offer or contribute but i sometimes feel i would add to confusion.Oh, dear sir, I am sorry, this is what can be very, very grievous at times. We do try and forbear as much as possible due to the nature of this want of expression coming from so many different places, duration of our own walk with the Lord, different denominations and teachings, so many factors. Often there is much misunderstanding, a want of clarification, other times it's just overzealousness and yes, even sadly some that can be divisive, even unaware.But I do hope that would not persuade you in the least to go ahead and share your heart here. Have described this place as often resembling a M.A.S.H. unit, it's not always pretty, often times surgical procedures being performed by unskilled hands, but there is still some great work being accomplished by the Lord through it all, some really big hearts and many that are following hard after the Lord.So please, do share, would love to hear of all your experience with brother Len and family, he has had a profound effect very much similar to the way you mentioned personally as well as to many here. It could be rightly said that it was because of his influence that all that we see here exists, "Why Revival Tarries" was the impetus for our beloved webmaster Greg and the Lords leading that set it all in motion.Again, welcome sir.

Hi jimp,I know what you mean. I stopped posting for a long time and even considered leaving the forums all together. More because of my own behavior and attitude than anything else. I've been trying to limit my posts to only saying things worth saying.Wow, you know the Ravenhills?You wouldn't happen to know a friend of mine named Jerry Godfrey would you?
