JoLynn! JoLynn

written by Ray Carlton

[verse 1]

O thou, my love, my joy and crown,

I love thee, yea, ‘tis true;

for ‘tis of thee, I joyfully,

give unto thee thy due.

Thou art my love, my heart and soul,

thou art my one desire;

for as I love, my tender Dove,

thou dost my love inspire.

[chorus]

JoLynn! JoLynn! I love thee, yea,

thy beauty, loving grace;

how I rejoice, to hear thy voice,

and see thy lovely face.

(thy joyful, lovely face)

[verse 2]

How I am blest of God with thee,

O thou, my tender prose;

mine heart doth say, to thee alway,

thou art my fragrant Rose.

Forthwith, I seek to love thee more,

and more and evermore;

to have and hold, a love so bold,

that doth our hearts restore.

[chorus]

JoLynn! JoLynn! I love thee, yea,

thy beauty, loving grace;

how I rejoice, to hear thy voice,

and see thy lovely face.

(thy joyful, lovely face)

[verse 3]

O hear mine heart of love for thee,

and know my soul withal;

I to thee sing, and joy thee bring,

and give thee sweet recall.

Thou art my life, my soul and song,

thou art my happiness;

forever thee, mine eyes shalt see,

and all thy blessedness.

[bridge]

Let us rejoice together and,

let us together live;

to be our best, be ever blest,

to love, and serve and give.

[chorus]

JoLynn! JoLynn! I love thee, yea,

thy beauty, loving grace;

how I rejoice, to hear thy voice,

and see thy lovely face.

(thy joyful, lovely face)

[finale]

JoLynn! JoLynn! How blest am I,

JoLynn! JoLynn, my love;

JoLynn! JoLynn! forevermore,

and all thou art therof!

(and all thou art therof!)

When Faith Meets Reality: Stories of Provision and Purpose

In this special 30-minute broadcast of This is Your Life, Frank and Bobbie Agee host two guests who have seen God move in the trenches of everyday life. Larry Millender shares his journey from a childhood call to ministry to a teenage life of rebellion, drugs, and alcohol, and how God’s relentless grace brought him back to lead a thriving ministry for over 40 years.

Then, Melinda Carroll joins the program to share "The Hamburger Story"—a legendary testimony of how God heard a specific, private prayer for groceries and moved a stranger's heart to meet the need down to the exact pound. Whether you are facing a "mountain" of debt or a "valley" of spiritual wandering, this episode serves as a reminder that God cares about the smallest details of your life.

-- Larry Millender discusses growing up in the "sawdust floor" tent revivals and his early call to ministry at age nine.

-- The power of a mother’s prayer: Larry reflects on how his mother’s intercession in the "bathroom prayer closet" eventually pulled him out of a lifestyle of drugs and crime.

-- Melinda Carroll explains the "Bible way" to pray: being specific with God and trusting Him for the "little things" like daily food.

-- The principle of the "seed": Why Melinda and her husband Ronnie chose to give away half of their miraculous provision to help someone else.

-- Seeking divine wisdom for business: How a trip to a seminar and a prompt from the Holy Spirit turned a failing business around through practical, God-given instructions.

-- A special prayer for financial miracles and creative ideas for those currently struggling with lack or weariness.

The coming of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost was prophesied 800 years before by the prophet Joel. When the apostles of Christ were baptized with the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem it created wonderment but also confusion among some. The apostles miraculously spoke in the various languages of those gathered there and some, not understanding, said the men were drunk. Peter stands and says they were not intoxicated as some supposed but instead, THIS IS THAT which was spoken by Joel. Today, most things in religion are attributed to the work and influence of the Holy Spirit including claims of modern revelation and supernatural gifts. But is this -- THAT? In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we examine modern claims in light of the prophecy of holy scripture.

When the System Fails but God Shows Up

"If Lynette can go to prison, none of us are safe." — Lynette’s Pastor

The legal system assumes that if you are in the room, you are in the crime. Lynette Escobar learned this the hard way when she was convicted of conspiracy simply because of her professional position. In this deep-dive interview, Lynette and Pastor Jack King discuss the thin line between a "blessed life" and a prison cell, and how God uses our darkest moments to facilitate His greatest rescue missions.

-- Facing an unexpected "Rule 35" and the legal definition of conspiracy.

-- The emotional trial where the jury was deadlocked and the court staff moved to tears.

-- Maintaining faith when a 21-year marriage ends during a period of incarceration.

-- The first night in a cell: Realizing that prison wasn't a punishment, but a mission field.

-- Practical wisdom on financial stewardship and the origins of Financial Freedom Christian Counseling.

-- Learning to hear the voice of the Heavenly Father in the midst of total isolation.

In this moving message, Pastor Jack King explores the profound simplicity of Psalm 92. He argues that while we all know we should praise God, we often fail to apply it when life takes a tragic turn. From personal stories of God's miraculous provision to the deep theological "why" behind our creation, this teaching provides a roadmap for anyone feeling oppressed by the world or their circumstances.

-- It is "a good thing" to give thanks because it allows us to enter the holy place of God’s presence regardless of our surroundings.

-- Praise should be frequent and foundational to the heart of the church, especially in the "perilous times" of the latter days.

-- The "Two-Word Cure": When darkness engulfs you and your joy is gone, the answer is "Fresh Oil"—the renewed presence and anointing of the Holy Spirit.

-- The Holy Spirit acts as the "Comforter" and the messenger of the Godhead, taking the cries of our hearts directly to the Father.

-- Redemption is the unchanging theme of the Bible, proving that God’s love for the created is stronger than any fall or failure.

-- True worship happens when we acknowledge God’s "deep thoughts" and His sovereignty over both the universe and our personal lives.

Leadership sets the direction for everything that follows. In this episode, the Sheriff shares the vision and mission of the Leon County Sheriff’s Office, outlining the values, priorities, and leadership principles guiding the agency today—and into the future.

All In: A Blueprint for a Safer Leon County

In this inaugural episode, host Javonni Hampton sits down with Leon County Sheriff Walt McNeil to discuss the evolution of law enforcement and the strategic vision behind the "All In" initiative. Sheriff McNeil shares his journey from 1979 to today, explaining how his experiences in the Department of Corrections and Juvenile Justice reform shaped his belief that public safety is a shared responsibility.

The conversation dives deep into the metrics of success, the importance of transparency through Citizens Advisory Councils, and the proactive teams—like the Mental Health and Homeless Outreach teams—that are changing lives before a crime is even committed.

-- Nearly 50 years of leadership: A look at Sheriff McNeil’s career trajectory from TPD to the FBI Academy.

-- The "All In" Philosophy: Moving beyond a slogan to a community-wide commitment where every citizen plays a role.

The Great Turning Point: Authority, Judgment, and the Return of the King

In this episode of Into the Glory Zone, Dr. Edith Davis explores the profound spiritual shift currently taking place within the Body of Christ. Drawing from the revelations shared by Apostle Bill Winston, Dr. Davis tackles the difficult reality of God’s judgment and the "reckoning" that has begun within the Church. She provides a comprehensive timeline of Christ’s victory—from the cross to the 1,000-year reign—reminding believers that we have been delegated the same power Jesus operated in to destroy the works of the enemy. This is more than a teaching; it is a mandate to stop being "driven" by the enemy and start being "guided" by the Spirit to subdue the earth.

-- The Turning Point: Why the Church is currently at a major junction and must prepare for a reckoning that begins in the house of God.

-- The Exchange of Authority: How the "Second Adam" stripped Satan of his power and returned the keys of authority to the Church.

-- The Timeline of Eternity: A deep dive into the Rapture, the two witnesses, the Battle of Armageddon, and the binding of Satan.

-- The Millennial Reign: Understanding the 1,000 years of peace on earth where Christ shows us how life was meant to be lived from the beginning.

-- Our Present Responsibility: Why God holds the Church—not the world—accountable for the state of the planet and our call to heal the sick and raise the dead.

-- Choice vs. Deception: Recognizing the difference between the Holy Spirit’s conviction and the enemy’s drive and condemnation.

The Bible portrays sin not simply as moral failure, but as a powerful spiritual force that, when ignored, brings serious consequences to individuals and their communities. Throughout Scripture, the pattern is consistent: sin that is left unaddressed grows, hardens, damages relationships, disrupts fellowship with God, and ultimately leads to judgment. Understanding these consequences highlights the urgent biblical call to repentance and the hope of restoration that God offers.

The Growing Power of Sin

One of the primary consequences of ignoring sin is that sin grows in power. In Genesis, God warns Cain that "sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you." This metaphor represents sin as a predator that waits for an opportunity to dominate its prey. When individuals refuse to acknowledge their wrongdoing, sin does not remain passive—it strengthens. A small compromise can become a pattern, and unchecked desires can quickly escalate into destructive behaviors. Scripture shows repeatedly that ignored sin develops into habits that shape character and influence future decisions.

The Hardened Heart

Second, ignoring sin leads to a hardened heart. Over time, repeated disobedience dulls the conscience and makes a person less responsive to God's correction. The Pharisees represent this condition; because they believed they were righteous, they ignored their inner corruption and became spiritually blind. Jesus consistently warned that self-righteousness is among the most dangerous sins precisely because it prevents people from recognizing their need for forgiveness. A hardened heart resists repentance, making moral and spiritual discernment increasingly difficult. What once felt wrong begins to feel normal, and the voice of conviction grows faint.

Damaged Relationships and Community

In addition to personal consequences, ignoring sin damages relationships. The Bible emphasizes that sin is never contained to the individual—it spreads. Achan's hidden theft in Joshua 7 brought military defeat and suffering to the entire nation of Israel. Likewise, King David's attempt to conceal his adultery led to lies, murder, and turmoil within his family. When people hide or attempt to minimize their sin, they often resort to deception or blame, breaking trust and wounding those around them. Sin creates isolation, and relationships fracture under its weight.

Separation from God

The most serious consequence of ignoring sin is its effect on one's relationship with God. Isaiah writes, "Your iniquities have separated you from your God." Unconfessed sin creates a barrier—not because God withdraws His love, but because humans turn away from Him in secrecy or pride. Jesus taught that those who continue to walk in darkness cannot experience the fullness of God's presence. Ignored sin weakens faith, disrupts prayer, and deprives the believer of joy and spiritual clarity.

Judgment and the Hope of Restoration

Finally, sin that remains unaddressed inevitably brings consequences and judgment. Scripture warns that sin will eventually come to light and that no one escapes its results forever. King Saul's repeated refusal to repent led to the loss of his kingdom and his life. Jesus also taught that unrepented sin leads to spiritual death.

However, the Bible offers hope. When sin is acknowledged, God is willing to forgive. 1 John 1:9 promises cleansing and restoration to those who confess their sins. The bottom line is this: ignoring sin leads to spiritual decay, relational damage, and separation from God. Yet, the message of Scripture is ultimately hopeful. When sin is confronted with honesty and repentance, God offers forgiveness, healing, and a renewed life.
