“I Heard Them Saying That God Was Dead”
I heard them saying that God was dead
But the sun still rose at dawn.
And the stars still twinkled o’er my head
When the last sunlight was gone.
The moon serene smiled sweetly on
The storm clouds reared on high
The lightnings flashed; the thunders rolled
In power across the sky.
The trees still bowed to the passing wind
And the earth drank in the rain.
And deep in my heart the Spirit sang
A glad and sweet refrain.
“All things are upheld by My mighty power
I govern from shore to shore.
I hold thee in life from hour to hour
And I live forevermore.”
John F Dorsey was born today 1/3/1916 in Ohio. His life has been a blessing through sermons (evangelist, pastor, Bible teacher) and through his pen, both in poetry and in prose. See A Farmer Looks at the Parables.

the devil has voted against God…
it’s up to you to vote how you will be elected.”
– Uncle Buddy (Reuben Robinson)
Bro. Robinson was born in Tennessee, cowboyed in Texas, was born again, filled with the Holy Spirit, and became one of the most famous Nazarene evangelists.

“Now, a man with a fixed heart is not only natural, but he is as bold as a lion; he neither fears men nor devils. He now has the courage of his conviction; he will wash out his mouth, and tear off his lodge pin, and vote the Prohibition ticket. Even if he knows that the man that he voted for would not be elected, he would rather vote for a cleanProhibitionist and get defeated in the election than to vote for a rum seller and elect him, and you would, too, if you are natural and bold.”
– Bud Robinson, Honey in the Rock (Cincinnati: God’s Revivalist Press, 1913), 103.
Underlining mine. You can remove “Prohibitionist,” “rum seller” in the above and apply it to the 21st century. THINK ABOUT it. Must we always vote for the lesser of too evils? (Too is purposely here.)
Uncle Buddy was a famous, Tennessee born, Nazarene Evangelist. He is the holiness preacher I’ve heard most quoted by Baptist ministers.
