Changes

I made some changes on the Blog.

I removed the Help page.

I updated the About page.

I deleted the post ”A Letter from an ex-elder of CiM” and made it into a permanent page, see above or on the side.

Former CiM Elders

I try to keep up with where former CiM elders are and what they are doing. At least the ones I know. It appears Jerry Collum has had some reconciliation with Randy. I believe Randy stated they bumped into each other at some store. Then Randy had Jerry speak at the New Years Meetings, although I did not watch them. Today Randy said he took Jerry with him to some meetings in Washington where they ministered. Unfortunately I don’t know any more than this, but hope to learn more, perhaps I can listen to the New Years Meetings.Michael Barrett:

Michael serves as an elder and pastor of City Church.  In addition to functioning as an elder to the City Church fellowship, Michael functions apostolically on a relational basis in Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Florida, Tennessee, Texas and Louisiana.  Prayer, preaching, teaching, conference speaking, counseling and writing are the activities that occupy most of the ministry time.

Bruce DeLay:

http://www.1170kfaq.com/delay.html - his radio show webpage
http://www.church.sierra-vista.az.us/ - an older webpage of I believe his home church
 
I have had no contact with Michael or Jerry. I cannot find Jerry on the internet at all. I have attempted to contact Michael but he never responded back, but I do know that ex-CiM members go to his church. I offered Michael to publish a letter of his if he wanted to comment on Randy and he never responded.

I have been in contact with Bruce for many years but our relationship is strained. I have sent other people to Bruce and Michael for help. Folks who needed more than I could offer. They do not have any part with my ministry nor I of theirs. Nor will I offer any personal info of them than that I already have shared as that info is found on the internet.

There is another “elder” I have been in contact with, but he was not there when I was there. He arrived as I was leaving and left some years later. I don’t think he was on staff at CiM, he may have had some home group which he was over of, I am not sure. He agreed I could send folks to him for help as well. I have no internet info on him, and he does not contact me at all. I have had like 2 emails with him total. I knew of him from the Emperor is Naked forum, where I believe his wife has participated, and from Bruce, and from his brother, of which I had several email conversations with a few years ago. I will not post his name, since I have no internet info on him, and know so little about him.

On Feb 10, 08, I discovered Jerry Collum on the internet. He is involved with Longview Metro Church:

You can see a picture of him here:

http://www.longviewmetro.org/staff.php

Where it states he is the Associate Pastor and involved in Christian Education. And you can search their webpage for contact information, which does list an email address for Jerry.

To keep up to date and have a more permanent page, I have created a page for this info:

The Breath of God

Randy spoke on the breath of God today. Not much to comment on until he spoke about me and my internet writings. At least evidenced he spoke about me. He stated he talked to someone about a week ago who had connections with the internet which speaks against Randy. He also stated that the person who is speaking about Randy left CiM 14 years ago. And that’s when I left. However he said that such is not the breath of God because that’s all that comes out of the mouth.

That is quite untrue of my internet ministry. My website has about 60 pages, I haven’t counted them in awhile, it may have more, but only about 5 pages is about CiM and Randy. I also spend more time on the internet dealing with other spiritual matters more than I do here on this blog. While this blog may contain more about Randy than other subjects, this blog is a small part of my internet ministry. This blog does have other matter though. I set up this blog to have a source to communicate with others on matters that don’t fit on my website. I don’t do a newsletter or anything like that. And every once and awhile I have something to discuss and then come here to write about it. But writing about Randy and CiM is a small part of my spiritual internet work.

However the idea from Randy is true in many places. The other forum I sometimes speak about so despises speaking about other issues that you will hear complaints when anyone preaches anything besides Randy and CiM errors. Many people at that forum breathe bitterness about Randy in and out continually.

Randy then stated that while I supposedly pick on his errors I tolerate my own. How untrue. I have stated many times that I myself am unqualified as an elder. Randy is unqualified as elder but could continue an internet or street ministry.
