We receive inquiries from all over the world from those who want to start an Eternal Grace gathering. Due to the volume of requests, we've found it easier to put the guide here for your free usage. We encourage you to start your own meeting and invite your friends. Let us know when your group is up and going. Note to group facilitator: Simply delegate the reading of the parts of the format (Principles, Who Are We, Worship, The Bible, Sharing Guidelines, Mission, The Healing Power of Prayer) to others in the meeting to read. You read the first section below aloud to your group which will format the meeting & guide you when to ask the others to read their section. The content of the readings is all on this website. Some prefer to copy and paste the format into a document and keep in a binder with hand-out sheets for the meeting. If you have any questions or need the format in a Word document, e-mail Eternal Grace at eternalgracechurch@yahoo.com The Holy Spirit will lead you. Below is the easy-to-follow format that the evening's leader simply begins reading: [More] | |  |
| |  | | | Cowboy Chaplains | A Cowboy Chaplain is called to serve the MOST HIGH GOD and fulfill the commission from our LORD in Mark 16:15. That commission is to "GO" and Cowboy Chaplains accept that calling to "GO" wherever and whenever possible to proclaim, to witness, to reach out to the lost.
The object of the Chaplaincy training is to enable the Cowboy Chaplain to understand his/her position and role as a servant of GOD in the cowboy world and beyond. The Cowboy Chaplain is involved in an inter-denominational out-reach ministry that's goal is to restore, to seek, to go to the hurting and the lost with the saving Gospel of JESUS CHRIST at anytime, anywhere and any way possible to be a fruitful worker for the KINGDOM OF GOD.
A Cowboy Chaplain is not a pastor, a preacher or an evangelist, he or she is all things to all people that they may be productive servants of GOD. A Cowboy Chaplain usually does not have a building in which to perform the function of the chaplaincy. A Cowboy Chaplain is very often not paid for his/her services. A Cowboy Chaplain does not minister exclusively with Christians; in fact, a large percentage of the time they are called to serve those that have no religious or spiritual background. Actually a Cowboy Chaplain may be called to minister to those who do not expect to be ministered to and in many cases are not open to or do they welcome being ministered to.
A Cowboy Chaplain does not punch the clock and is available to minister wherever and whenever they are called upon to serve and they serve wherever they are and whenever they can.
A Cowboy Chaplain seeks the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT and prayerfully serves those that the LORD sends in their daily walk for HIS Glory, Honor and Gainful Service.
The duties of a Cowboy Chaplain may differ greatly in different areas of the country, but the spiritual aspect of the Chaplain's role remains the same. All Cowboy Chaplains are expected to be: more [More] | | |

| |  | | | WorldStrides | Christian Discoveries | America's Christian Heritage
From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, to a visit to the National Archives, to the top of the Washington monument, our nation’s capital has many places where we learn of the faith of our Founding Fathers. Symbols, ideas, and men and women of faith bear testimony to the acts of a sovereign God throughout the course of history.
The following examples show how students will learn about our nation’s Christian heritage on their Christian Discoveries program.
Students will learn about George Washington and his unwavering faith while visiting his home, Mount Vernon.
Excerpt from The Bulletproof George Washington, by Charles D. Barton:
George Washington's part in the July 9, 1755, battle during the French and Indian War is indisputably one of the most significant events of his early years. His life literally hung in the balance for over two hours. This dramatic event helped shape his character and confirm God's call on him.
During the two-hour battle, the 23 year-old Colonel Washington had ridden to and fro on the battlefield, delivering the general's orders to other officers and troops. The officers had been a special target for the Indians. Of the eighty-six British and American officers, sixty-three were casualties. Washington was the only officer on horseback not shot down.
Following the battle, Washington wrote a letter to his brother in which he readily and openly acknowledged:
"By the all-powerful dispensations of Providence, I have been protected beyond all human probability or expectation; for I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me, yet [I] escaped unhurt, although death was leveling my companions on every side of me!"
Students will visit the National Archives where they can see the original Declaration of Independence and learn how our Founding Fathers incorporated a trust in God into this powerful document.
From the Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men…….
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
While visiting the Lincoln Memorial, students can read the Gettysburg Address inscribed on the walls and see how Lincoln stated that our nation was in God’s hands.
Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg address, final line:
“This nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
On your students’ Christian Discoveries program, our Course Leaders will share anecdotes about how our nation was founded on Christian principles. Here is one example:
In the 1960’s a young Christian from Indonesia was planning a trip to the United States of America. He had never been to America and knew little about this country, but he had seen some American money and was particularly excited about the phrase, “In God We Trust.” He thought that this must be a great Christian nation because America even acknowledged her reliance upon God on millions and millions of pieces of her currency and coin. A persecuted Christian in a non-Christian nation, he was looking forward to visiting a nation that honored the God that had changed his life.
As you can see, throughout the program we challenge students to use their gifts to make a difference for God in their families, church, local community, and world, and to grow in their faith by showing them that our nation was established by men and women who honored the Lord. [More] | | |

| | | | | Why Evangelize? - Johan D.Tangelder | Why Evangelize?
Is evangelism still necessary in our modern times? On the surface it may not seem necessary. We are people "come of age." We are surrounded by fantastic symbols of wealth and are continually thrilled by the new scientific achievements. The technological advancements have made the world into a village; and, especially in the field of medicine, the modern findings promise to prolong and ease life. Yet, in this time of unlimited opportunities for human advancement, men are gripped by the dread of the future. Racial strife scars many nations. Mental illness takes its toll in this age of greatly increased social security. The breakdown of family life has become a common rather than an unusual factor in society.
Must a Christian evangelize? Yes! The Christian believes that the church must evangelize fervently, as there has never been such a spiritual need as today!
What is evangelism? Evangelism is seriously considered by some to be anything from working with the Red Cross to the Peace Corps. Evangelism is not the building of high-rise apartments in a community. It is not participating in a civil rights march or student
demonstrations. It is not helping an old lady across the street. It is not helping draft dodgers. This new theology of evangelism is not Biblical.
Evangelism "is to relate the saving truths of God to a sinner." It is to bring the message of hope to lost sinners. The evangelical church is convinced that it possesses the only hope for mankind, the hope revealed dynamically in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Christian does not participate in the work of evangelism as a hobby or because he wants to present one solution among the many for the solving of world problems.
A Christian is not a politician but an ambassador for Jesus Christ. He has the duty to tell men what God's message is for today, and not what men like to hear. The message of the Scripture claims to be the only Word for men today. There is no other word of God to men. First, the message of the evangelist is that men need to know their sinful condition, that they are under God's wrath as long as they remain in rebellion to God. Second, men need to know that Jesus Christ is able to save the whole of men. Jesus Christ has come to save men from themselves and the consequences of sin ? hell.
Third, Jesus Christ lays claim upon the saved sinners. They are no longer their own but Christ's. Therefore, their outlook on life ought to be Biblically formed.
Evangelism is not only the Christian's duty, but also his privilege. Many people today are whistling in the dark, hoping against hope for a better and a new world under the leadership of "enlightened" men. The Christian's hope is founded upon the fact of Christ's resurrection and the promises of anew life which this fact contains.
Why evangelize? "We have the high privilege of telling others that they, too, may share in this hope if they will agree with God's judgment on their revolt against Him yield completely to the lordship of Jesus Christ, and offer their lives to Him in grateful obedience."

| | | | | The Reality of Angels.- Angels in our Daily Lives - Johan D. Tangelder | Angels in our Daily Lives.
Number Ten
As I have shown, the Bible clearly stands on the side of those who believe that angels are real. God enters our tragedies. He opens the windows of heaven to interact with the earth. God still sends His angels to minister to the Church. They work in ways unsung and unseen. The writer of the epistle of the Hebrews even spoke of Christians who welcomed strangers into their homes and that by so doing, "some have entertained angels without knowing it." (Hebr. 13:2) We cherish the ministry of Christ for our salvation. He is our only Mediator. What the apostle Peter said in his Jerusalem sermon is still true today, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12) But this truth should not lead to the conclusion that God can no longer use the ministry of angels to do His will. We should not let New Agers capture angelology to give it a life of its own and paganize it.
The active ministry of angels is encouraging for the Church as we come to the end of the most violent century in world history. And the 20th century has also been the worst century of anti-Christian persecution in history. It is well documented that Christians are now the most persecuted religious group on earth today. China and Islam Middle East nations are the worst offenders. Michael Horowitz wrote in the introduction of Paul Marshall's disturbing and moving book Their Blood Cries Out. The Untold Story of Persecution Against Christians in the Modern World: "The mounting persecution of Christians eerily parallels the persecution of Jews, my people, during much of Europe's history." Today, minority Christian communities have become chosen scapegoats in radical Islamic and remnant Communist regimes, where they are demonized and caricatured through populist campaigns of hate and terror.
Christians are not alone in their spiritual battle. Sometimes God shows His care for His people by dispatching angels to intervene on behalf of His suffering saints in need of heavenly encouragement. When the apostle Paul sailed to Rome to face Ceasar, a fierce storm theatened to wreck the ship. Crew and passengers had given up all hope of being saved. But all hope was not lost. God intervened. He sent an angel to Paul with the message, "Do not be afraid, Paul, you must stand trial before Ceasar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you." (Acts 27:24)
God knows our weakness, our perils, the enemies we constantly face, the threats to our faith. Without His help we would fall into despair and be overpowered by the Spirit of this Age. In his mercy, immeasurable goodness, and kindness He sustains us and has given us innumerable guardians to help us along our journey. As Calvin put it:
Therefore he (God) makes use of angels to comfort our weakness, that we may lack nothing at all that can raise up our minds to good hope, or confirm them in security.
Today the powers of evil seem to have the upper hand. The fallen angels are influencing our culture world and the nearer we come to the close of history the more frantic their demonic activity. Therefore we should keep in mind that God's powerful angels are active also; and their victory has been secured by Christ. (1 John 3:8) Soon the Lord will come with His angels and overcome His enemies. I believe that Thomas F. Torrance's summarizes the argument well:
In the fulfillment of God's supreme purpose, angels are surely still active in their missionary as well as their providential service. Disregard of the ministry of angels will certainly lead to a serious deficiency in Christian spirituality, bringing many forms of shallowness and instability in its train. That modern eyes should be opened to the ministry of angels is very much to be desired. [More] | | |
| | | | | The Hub of Christianity - Johan D.Tangelder | The Hub of Christianity
One of the gravest dangers to contemporary Protestantism is its obsession with the rim of Christianity to the neglect of the vital centre of the Christian faith. To the observer of church life it becomes increasingly clear that much of the activity takes place around the rim of a wheel whose spokes are made of innumerable committees, conferences, meetings and organizations.
I am not implying that the rim is an unimportant part of the wheel, for it is at the rim that the wheel becomes effective. In like manner, the church must make effective contact with the world if it wants to be true to its calling.
However, just as a wheel collapses unless its spokes are firmly centred in the hub, so a church cannot be effective if it is not firmly centred in the basic doctrines of the Christian faith.
The doctrines of the Scriptures are of vital importance for the Christian life. The teachings of the Scriptures ought to be translated into life. But nowadays the word "doctrine" has become an ugly word in many Protestant circles. There seems to be
a distaste for the studying of the system of Bible truth.
The great stress today is upon the word "do."
We?hear a great deal about the "prophetic role" of the church. Prophetic a church must be! But to be prophetic seems to mean today to be socially involved, to be concerned with the basic problems behind the social injustices of community and society, youth problems and the like. This prophetic role is usually at the expense of the heart of man's dilemma ? man's separation from the just and holy God.
The prophetic message must not only deal with the problems of the "here and now" but above all with how a man separated from God can get right with God through the Death of Christ at Calvary. If the church is only concerned with solving the problems of society at the expense of man's need to get right with his God, the church has lost the "prophetic" message. It puts then a band aid upon a cancer spot.
If the church is only concerned with the rim and not with the hub of the wheel, then its words have no effect. Consider the early church. This church was active, but its rim and spokes of activity were solidly attached to the hub of Christian doctrine.
These early Christians had a deep and living faith , in the Christ who died on the cross for their sin and who rose again from the dead to secure their resurrection. These men were able to give a reason for the hope which was in them and for their ceaseless activity.
Many Christians today seem to be swayed so easily. Doctrinal preaching and teaching are belittled as "divisive. Yet, a return to basic Bible teaching and preaching is needed if the church wants to remain a church. A Christian man can only be really effective in the "here and now" if he has been molded by the Word of God. The prophetic message of the church still is "Christ died for our sins, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures."
Let each Christian study again the motivation for his activities. As someone said, "For a change, let us start with the hub of Christian doctrine and begin building the wheel of Christian conviction, organization and program soundly on it."

| |  | | | Old South Meeting House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | The church, with its 56 m (183 ft) steeple, was completed in 1729. The congregation was gathered in 1669 when it broke off from First Church of Boston, a Congregationalist church founded by John Winthrop in 1630. The site was a gift of Mrs. Norton, widow of John Norton, pastor of the First Church in Boston.[3] The church's first pastor was Rev. Thomas Thatcher, a native of Salisbury, England. Thatcher was also a physician and is known for publishing the first medical tract in Massachusetts.
Interior of Old South, 2010
After the Boston Massacre in 1770, yearly anniversary meetings were held at the church until 1775 featuring speakers such as John Hancock and Dr. Joseph Warren. In 1773 5,000 people met in the Meeting House to debate British taxation, and after the meeting a group raided a nearby tea ship in what became known as the Boston Tea Party. [More] | | |
| |  | | | King's Chapel | The King's Chapel congregation was founded by Royal Governor Sir Edmund Andros in 1686 as the first Anglican Church in colonial New England during the reign of King James II. The original King's Chapel was a wooden church built in 1688 at the corner of Tremont and School Streets, where the church stands today. It was situated on the public burying ground, now King's Chapel Burying Ground, because no resident would sell land for a non-Calvinist church.
1688 King's Chapel building (demolished)
In 1749, construction began on the current stone structure, which was designed by Peter Harrison and completed in 1754. The stone church was built around the wooden church. When the stone church was complete, the wooden church was disassembled and removed through the windows of the new church. The wood was then shipped to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia where it was used to construct St. John's Anglican Church. That church was destroyed by fire on Halloween night, 2001. It has since been rebuilt. Originally, there were plans to add a steeple, although funding shortfalls prevented this from happening.[ [More] | | |
| |  | | | Park Street Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Park Street Church is a historic stop on the Freedom Trail. The founding of the church is predated to 1804 when the "Religious Improvement Society" began weekly meetings with lectures and prayer.[2] The society organized the charter of the church on February 27, 1809 by twenty-six local people, mostly former members of the Old South Meeting House, who wanted to plant a church with orthodox Trinitarian theology.
The cornerstone of the church was laid on May 1 and construction was completed by the end of the year, under the guidance of Peter Banner (architect), Benajah Young (chief mason) and Solomon Willard (woodcarver). Banner took inspiration from several early pattern books, and his design is reminiscent of a London church by Christopher Wren. Park Street church's steeple rises to 217 feet (66 m), and remains a landmark visible from several Boston neighborhoods.[3] The church was the tallest building in the United States from 1810 to 1846.
