How high did they set their amplifier levels in ancient times? It's hard for me to separate conversation in a crowd of people. Loud noises bother me. When I can't hear myself sing the sound is too loud! I actually brought ear plugs to services at my previous church. Music can lead us to quiet...

We have 13 of their training books in our church library. Rob

The opening post wondered if Theistic Evolution was a viable biblical option and noted, that he thought it might mean they would be denying a Creator, “or at least that Mankind was a special creation in His own image?” That tells me that you're a bit mixed up about what constitutes a...

Many of the psalms were originally songs, their musical notes were not preserved. We do have a few of the musical instructions in the titles, but don’t really have a full understanding of what those words mean. Even some of the instruments used to accompany the words are uncertain. We can...

At the time I first believed, my family occasionally attended a Presbyterian Church, infant baptism was the norm. I don't think I ever witnessed an adult being baptism. But few months after becoming a believer, I attended a Christian event held in Arie Crown Theater in Chicago. A swimming pool...

Street ball - baseball on the street with a small bat and broken tennis ball. If someone yelled, "Car!" we cleared the street to let it pass. Rob
