My husband contacted the deacons and asked them not to say anything to the congregation. He announced it the following Sunday morning. On our last Sunday he wrote a loving note in the church bulletin. The church had a farewell luncheon for us after the morning worship service.

From what I have observed, the I.F.B. seems to be more legalistic and controlling than I.B.

Back in the eighties scandals broke in different branches of the Independent Baptist. I was also working for a major Independent Baptist ministry at the time. My pastor husband and I left the Independents and began working within the Southern Baptist . We didn't change what we believed, but what...

Many of the old hymns speak deeply to my heart. They speak of the blood of Christ, and what He accomplished for us on Calvary, They speak of Heaven, and many more doctrines of our faith. Some times the tears flow and I will raise my hand in praise. My church has a few people who raise their...

My husband was a pastor. He is now home with the Lord. I have never been in a Baptist church where women could not vote. If I could not vote I would be going else where to church.

Cedarville was an excellent Christian college when I attended in the late sixties. Godly professors, reasonable standards and a wonderful experience for their students. Many Southern Baptists started sending their students to Cederville because it was more conservative than many of their...

I have taught ladies Sunday School classes and Bible studies for many years in both Independent and Southern Baptist churches, but never a mixed class.

Hamel, I am not questioning the pre trib position, but my niece's attitude is the issue. I truly do not think if someone disagrees with us on the timing of the rapture they are teaching false doctrine, It is pure and simple a difference of opinion. Someday when all the saints of all the ages...

Thanks Salty . You just about summed it up. I try to explain that the Christian college I attended, and the seminary my husband attended both held the Pre- trib position, but also taught the different views on the Millennium and the timing of the rapture, but emphasized the Pre- trib position...

A little background. I grew up in the Independent Baptist movement. My husband went to seminary at Tennessee Temple and was in the ministry for 30 years.

I was reared Independent Baptist, but with what happened with the fall of Hyles and other preachers, along with preachers who wanted to sweep their sin under the rug my husband and I went into the Southern Baptist and served in ministry for 23 years before my husband went home to Heaven. A...

My fondest memories of Dr. Rice was when he would preach at my home church back when I was a teenager. He would have Sunday lunch at our pastor's home and then play with our pastor's children afterwards. Dr. Rice was a humble man and had a compassionate heart. One of my greatest joys as a...

My husband did a study of a 1000 verses in the KJV, NKJV, NASB, and the NIV and compared them to the original languages. He said," The NIV sacrificed accuracy for readability." We liked to study from the NASB, read devotion-ally from the NKJV and teach from KJV and NKJV.

The last time my pastor husband and I went to hear Jack Hyles, a gentleman took 25 minutes to introduce him. On the way home my husband said, " Honey, they are taking glory that belongs to Christ and giving it to a man." The nail that broke the camel's back for us was well known preachers...

Thanks so much ! Excellent book!

Rev. Mitchell, I would agree with your statement," it appears she caught herself in a moment of thoughtlessness" if she hadn't done it three nights in a row. I didn't say anything to her this time, but if it would happens again in a future visit to my home, I will take her aside privately and...

I believe an area the church can help a widow, especially if she doesn't have family near by is to help with minor home repairs. I have a friend who doesn't live near her married children. She is active and faithful to her church.There are times something needs repaired and the men say they...

Do an internet search on the Jack Hyles' controversy. There is plenty of evidence. One of his deacons, a lawyer wrote an excellent book on the subject. I am sorry I don't recall his name, but I read the book years ago.
