    Why I Prefer Expository Preaching

    Cannot imagine sitting under regular dose of topical preaching. Get the wanderings and whims of a preacher, holiday platitudes, felt-need pop psychology, missing bulk of the Bible instead of methodical exposition, verse by verse. book by book of God's Word. A text (topic) without context is...

    Are there NT Churches apart from Baptist Churches then?

    There are churches that hold the same basic polity and doctrine that opt NOT to call themselves "Baptist". Trying to think of a "denomination" per se, that would follow the NT as closely as a typical Baptist church. And a lot who CALL themselves "Baptist" don't qualify!! Many Bible Churches...

    Members only Communion

    BTW, in the church we founded we used matzoh and real wine (non-alcoholic), every week as a part of worship Sunday morning (middle of service, not tacked on as afterthought), led by ordained pastor with each man providing for family, in our church location, close communion as a memorial only. NO...

    Members only Communion

    Communion is a church ordinance, allowing each congregation to make their own decisions on "details". If you opt for membership in a church, you will have a voice/vote in such private policies. It is NOT Frequency - every worship (weekly), monthly, quarterly, annually Style - as separate part...

    Divorce - Re-marriage and families

    Maturity level of step-child must be understood. Some struggle with "replacement" for a parent no longer in the home and it is hard. For a teen or older? If THEY show disrespect or create trouble, it shows they were not raised properly and need firm control. THEY do not get a vote in a...

    A massive wave of pastors is retiring. What’s next?

    In the church we planted and pastored 15 years we had elders. They took graduate classes on line from seminary. On our last Sunday, we ordained as teaching elder my replacement. Training and mentoring in the local church, enhanced by variety of education, filled the need as I passed 50 years in...

    Is it okay to use the NKJV?

    Please, don't encourage him. When I was endorsed for chaplaincy during 'Nam, I was given a choice. After consideration of all matters, I seemed more suited for a nice bunk on a ship than a rice paddy. Never ended up serving (thank you, Tricky Dicky, but if I died, figured I would go down clean)

    Is it okay to use the NKJV?

    I don't get lost now hunting for meat. Kroger has nicely marked aisles. They do get up tight when I bring in a shotgun looking for a Thanksgiving turkey.

    Hey everyone

    Many don't remember exact time/date. No big deal. To SOME Baptists, though, baptism in Pentecostal church might be more of a challenge (they only think if certain Baptists immerse it is true baptism and the rest is just getting wet). Most wouldn't make an issue of it. So if a church you're...

    Is it okay to use the NKJV?

    Another reason I feel sorry for you. BTW I learned to fetch a compass when forgot mine in the tent out deer hunting. Some northern Minnesota woods were death-traps for a fellow like me that went around in circles most of the time.
