On an unrelated thread the question was asked me, "Do you hold to Free Grace theology?" We all love the gospel and seek honestly to understand God's grace and what faith involves. But a movement a couple decades back pushed "Free Grace". I thought, "If it isn't FREE, it isn't GRACE". But sadly...

As a non-Baptist, you can READ discussions in "Baptist-only" but not participate. All the "Other Christian" forums are open - BUT they will contain a large variety of thought. Some "Christian" in name only and are not born again. Just be aware of that. Not all the answers there will be...

My kids were in high quality Christian School (individualized ACE style academics, tremendous social activities ) thru 7th grade, then I homeschooled them thru graduation. So many benefits, but a challenge to them was being in a classroom setting in college - they did not know that format...

Wait. You're talking like actual WORK to EARN a check? Unfair!!

GARBC is an association of independent churches with zero "control". Voluntary. No demand. Maybe a loose fellowship in the state or support of colleges/seminaries. SBC is a convention of independent churches with slightly different aspects of "control". Strong bureaucratic hierarchy. Strong...

Interesting. I've walked a section of the Great Wall at Badaling northwest of Beijing. Historical "feeling" to be on it!

Glad to have you back after your sojourn in Egypt . . . :)

Thank you for this action. That poster has used other names in the past and each time when discovered has been "given the bum's rush" out the door.

He believed and taught an "easy-believism" of simple faith without repentance or much understanding. 1-2-3 pray after me. Zeal without knowledge. Thousands "think" they will go to heaven because of raising a hand, walking an aisle, or spouting magic words.

Ok. Tricky but I like it

Proof of the pudding is in the tasting. You can show me later. I counted 12 dots and 1 word that spelled dots but didn't contain a dot. That's what I saw. I'm stickin' to it, mainly because I'm too old to change :)

I am a historic particular (reformed) fundamental Baptist and am so pre-trib and pre-mill that I won't eat Post Toasties. For that matter, I'm so opposed to ecumenical "evangelism" that I don't eat Graham crackers, either. :) :)

Our church was designed as a safe haven for believers, for instruction, fellowship, worship, and the ordinances. If those believers came in without a Christian home, they were "adopted" by an elder for spiritual oversight and teaching. It was a privilege to minister as surrogate. We also did...

The first English Baptists had a simple eschatology. In 1644, the London Baptist churches met and compiled a simple confession of faith and agreed that Christ's Kingdom is in this world partially now (Article 19) until at the end He comes a second time to establish His Kingdom fully (Article...

Was often blessed by John R's preaching and his kindness. Not a fan of some of the easy-believism of his theological methods, but a good brother. Sadly, watched another friend, Jack Hyles, go "off the rails". Jack gave me an autographed copy of his book on church administration when I completed...

The church we founded did not have Sunday School per se. We had a 2+ hour unified service, We were family-centered so never had separate programs for children. Every week we gave a worksheet for the family for Bible Study. They were to study it together as their "Sunday school". Our families...

Thank you for your kind evaluation of me.

Did a wedding at the Hat 6 east of Casper. Had lots of big spreads in Wyoming/Montana. Of course, living in Dallas I think I crossed a ranch in West Texas that took 3 days . . .

My grandkids LOVE burnt marshmallows! In S'mores or just plain. Flaming torch flavor? :) I am meticulous with mine, just beautifully browned to perfection.

The maillard reaction on Brussels Sprouts is fantastic. Otherwise they gag me! Brats, too - char well before soaking them.
