The Earmarks of Babylon
We have had many messages on the earmarks of the body of Christ. We have studied the body, and talked a lot about what distinguishes the body of Christ from Babylon. I would like to review the characteristics of the body, but only as a prelude to looking into the identifying characteristics of Babylon. We can say that some characteristics identify the body and everything else is Babylon, but that may not be totally accurate. Some churches and fellowships are not Mystery Babylon, not one of her harlot daughters, and yet not the beloved of the Lord. They are one of ...
The Error of a Prosperity Gospel
God gave the continent of Africa to Brother Lloyd Goodwin. By that, I mean that he was the first true man of God, from the corporal-corporate body of Christ, to come to Africa for nearly 2000 years. He stepped into a hotel conference room in a Nairobi hotel in 1978 and began to blast out a foundation of truth and New Testament order. That was nearly thirty years ago. Some may decide to leave that foundation. They might not tell you they are doing so, but if they preach something different, and conduct their services after a different order, then they ...
The Missionary Journeys Of The Apostle Paul
The great apostle of the early church, Paul, made many journeys to bear the glorious news of the gospel. He endured hardship after hardship for the name of Christ. He traveled thousands of miles by foot and by boat, in perils and dangers for the cause to which he had been chosen. In this series, Pastor Glenn Goodwin takes a close look at the man whose laborious work helped establish much of the early new Testament church. This is a 4 part series, we will be posting these series on a weekly basis and will update this post with each new ...

Lukewarmness
Old age is a curse. Strength ebbs away. The strains and stresses of the years steals the beauty and vitality of youth. It happens to everyone. It happens to churches; even assemblies get old. The Des Moines Gospel Assembly, which really started with Bro. George Vawter finding the body of Christ in 1939, is now in its 70th year of existence. Seventy years is a long time for a church to remain a functioning part of the present move of God. The assembly received quite a boost when Bro. Lloyd Goodwin came to be the pastor in 1963, but even ...

Pastor's Perspective
Outreach MinistryThe body of Christ is not local, not national; it is international. The Great Commission is to preach the Gospel to every creature . . . in every nation. One of the signs that must come to pass is that this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world, for a witness to all nations, before the end of Gentile times. See Matthew 24:14. Our...

Obedience and Holiness
I Samuel 15:22 says that obedience is better than sacrifice. That means the Lord appreciates our obedience to His commands more than our worship and offerings. The Lord demanded that His people obey Him more than 50 times in the Bible. He has imposed certain duties and responsibilities upon us, and demanded that we obey His commands. This is not because...
