Forwarded this to my sons (both Baptist pastors) and son-in-law (history professor at university) to see if anyone had ever heard of this fellow. Received the quotation from Nikolaus Ludwig: "Work for God. Die forgotten"

Did you ever think the problem no one visited with you or talked with you might be with you? :) :) :)

Not a word about him. Captivating story. As a Baptist pastor and missionary, along with being a civil war reenactor it was especially interesting. THANK YOU for sharing. I will search for other mention of this man of God.

Simple. NO HUMAN BEING will repent and believe UNLESS a change happens first. NO ONE. God sovereignly choses to give such supernatural repentance and saving faith to those He elected. Salvation is of the Lord, not man. I stood on the ruins of Antioch in Pisidia (central Turkey today) and...

Glad you didn't have to use the obvious "foolish" word for this brother as he admitted it in his posts.

Each local church can operate the way they see its obedience to God's Word. If I don't agree with them, I won't be part of that church . Simple. BUT when churches unite in association/convention of churches, there MUST be agreement on orthodoxy and orthopraxy (doctrine and practice). The SBC...

Good post #1, my friend. Sharing your experience is a great way to let people know you and your thinking. BTW, if anyone agrees with you about anything, consider that a WIN :)

With the exorbitant price of books today, I commend any church for having a "library" system to loan to families. Good job on how yours is set up and the difficult choice to discard. Unsure why a church library would have/desire general books that are in most public libraries. Those would be in...

I have spent much of the past 4 weeks in bed, with little strength. I have the opportunity to preach this coming Sunday (June 22) in two services. This will be the 6th time in the past 16 months to proclaim the Gospel in a unique setting, very few of the people being evangelical or profess...

In 1967 I was drafted but in college/seminary, so the President of the school appealed to allow me to finish and be ordained first. In 1972 I was endorsed by the Associated Gospel Churches as a Chaplain in the US Navy. In Detroit Naval Yard I stood with other "officers" (medical, lawyers, etc)...

Welcome. We have a large section where non-Baptists can post. You can READ in any section and I'd encourage you to do so. Converting to Orthodox (I grew up with many Russian Orthodox friends and have been in their service in Moscow years ago) is topic of great interest. Feel free to start a...

I have been part of a large (would not call it "mega" but the largest fundamental Baptist Church in the State - about 2k) and there were some blessings in program, music, outreach, education that were simply not possible in the church of 50-150 members. Opted in the last church we founded to...

Isa 3:10-13 Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds. But woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for what his hands have dealt out shall be done to him. My people? Children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my...

Methinks many in the younger generation will have no clue.

CHS is a hero of mine. Always enjoy reading his thoughts and hearing his stories. Thankfully, I had always enjoyed deacons whose goal in the church was to uphold the pastor and the ministry and godly men to work with. Now, some of their wives, however . . .

Remember, since you are NOT identified as Baptist, you may only post in "other" "non-Baptist" sections. Sadly, many who do not hold biblical truth are loud and vocal there. BUT let me encourage you to read and study the threads in the Baptist-only areas - ANYONE can read them. And can always...

I personally NEVER capitalize the "H", since the inspired Hebrew text uses it as an adjective. And opt NEVER to use the word "Ghost" since that outdated word has evolved into a thousand shades of meaning that is NOT a good picture of the SPIRIT of the Lord. Of course, I pastored 33 years in...

Correct. This is simply to introduce members NOT dismember each other :)
