The long digestion processing of nuts (often twice of meat proteins) was shown to me by my wife (nutritional doctor) helping blood sugar issues and energy.

Church Mutual Insurance (what we had) has guidelines for those working with children. So SS teachers, Awana, youth ministry all had "hoops" to jump thru. One nice fellow volunteered and when given the forms to complete, "disappeared". Quit coming to our church totally. We felt that was a blessing!

Have had next to no contact with muslims. Did take Comparative Religions students when I taught at Pillsbury Baptist College for four years to Islamic Center in nearby Rochester, Minnesota, as part of our studies. Sat with imam and a number of men to ask/answer questions. They were very...

No interest in martial arts per se. Don't even enjoy the movie "crazy" presentations. Never thought of them as "evil" or Satanic" but just a method of fighting. But most martial arts guys are not interested in rock climbing and rope work like I am. So we're even.

Never heard of him, so interest piqued and sounds like I'll be enjoying listening!!

55425 is the zip code for Mall of America. Met Stadium (Twins/Vikings) was there before being replaced by the Mall. Tidbit to chew on :)

Godly man and a mentor. Very saddened at the loss.

We will have the Administrator's vote on that . . . ;) ;)

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...

Locked.

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...

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...

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...

Father, show Your grace and power, perfecting on earth Your will for Sarge in this upcoming surgery. We love and trust You, so ask no more or no less than do what is best. For You. Give him and his wife peace and hope in this, and perfect contentment in Your goodness. Amen.

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...

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...

At least ONE bot. Me. Blood bought child of God.

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)

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.

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...
