    Baptist Board, Politics, and Our Christian Witness

    The question that must be answered is who is "King." In other words, who is sovereign in the United States? The answer is not the president, Supreme Court, or a combination of our units of government. The "King" of The United States of America is "We the People." We the people meaning us US...

    Should Trump be required to release his tax return

    None of the above. Presidential candidates should comply with the law. If a law has not been passed by the legislature in proper manner, then the candidate is complying with what is proper. In other words, if politicians don't like the policy, they should pass a new law requiring it. But how...

    Pollster Frank Luntz: If Trump defies polls again 'my profession is done'

    When they call, most older people just hang up on them. Those older people with regular corded phones get way too many spam calls and the owners get used to hanging up on everyone they don't know. I don't know how a phone based pole could possibly accurate.

    Pope endorses same-sex civil unions

    To me, this subject is not simply theological. Early in my life I had strong same sex attractions and had no attractions, might even say a repulsion to the opposite sex. I was a teenager before the AIDS epidemic, but living in the rural south, homosexuality was not only frowned on but I must...

    Get used to it

    The problem is the Bible is right. How can we change his mind when we agree 100% with that Fact. It would be better to have a discussion about the timing of the End Times. We know that what is occurring in the recent past point to the happenings predicted in Daniel, the Psalms, Revelation and...

    Biden Campaign Manager: Polls Are Inflated, Race Is Closer Than Media Believes

    This political season is so charged when I get calls from the polling organizations I refuse to be polled. It is only a slight concern, but it is a real one nonetheless, that the person calling us might not be an actual polling organization. How can you tell. As hateful as some Trump haters...

    Encourgaing Message in Light of 2020

    The fight in the United States has clearly started. The two battle fronts are abortion and freedom of speech for Christians concerning the subject of homosexuality. For those willing to open their eyes, the persecution of Christians for believing in the sanctity of life is evident right now...

    Anyone use a straight razor?

    I have used a straight razor years ago. The trick to keeping from nicking yourself is pulling completely straight. If you pull sideways at all you will cut yourself. To get where you pull straight, learn by cleaning shaving cream off a balloon like the barbers used to do in barber school...

    New Believer in a Jam Over an MDiv

    Years ago credits were only good for seven years if I remember right. Of course that did not involve a medical disability, so it could be different. What you should do would at least in part depend on how long your credits stay valid.

    Catastrophic Decline in Birth-rate Worldwide (except Africa)

    The article fails to mention the fertility rate of muslim families. That is the real concern with that situation.

    Did Jesus Christ Have Free Will?

    Yes, Jesus had a free will. The scripture above mentioned by JonC above demonstrates that. But He also had to have a free will to truly be tempted the same way we are tempted by Satan. It would be foolishness to say that He was tempted if He did not have the ability to sin. . . But the...

    The Invitation - to the extreme

    Are you attempting to logically figure out the best way to coerce someone to make a commitment of Faith? That question especially using the term "coerce" sounds very judgemental on my part, I will admit that, that is true. But what is your honest answer to that question? In my opinion, do...

    T2 diabetes thread

    Those numbers vary by age. 5.0 is normal for the average youth or young adult.. It is not a target number for a person who is actually diabetic. Problem is the A1c is an average. If you consistently test 5.0 it means your glucose levels are often going under 70. Lows can be dangerous...

    Hand sanitizer

    This explanation of why you should clean your hands to prevent contamination from a virus seems to explain it well. Adam McBride DC You can't "kill" a virus because it is not alive. Destroy the lipid protecting the RNA and the virus is destroyed. Or something like that Sent from my...

    Recent Polls on Support for President Trump Among Self-Identified Christians

    She won the fifth district in Mississippi. That is a gerrymandered district drawn to be majority black. It includes parts of Jackson proper and the Delta. The delta is an economically depressed area because of the mechanization of farming. A large number of citizens left there are below...

    School District Petition to Kick Police Out of Schools

    There is a petition on Facebook to kick the police resources officer out of the school in a city near a relative of mine. How does this make any since at all? For one, should the kids be less safe now. Secondly, removing helpful and friendly officers from the lives of minority students can...

    Sermon Length

    I really don't know. I have read some sermons of older preachers and the ones I have read cover a whole lot of subject matter. Their sermons were not "Three Point" speeches. Here is a list of Spurgeon's Sermons. Pick one and read it and see how it compares to the average preacher from today...

    Sermon Length

    A skilled orator strives to get to the point and polishes his sermons. It takes effort not to "chase rabbits." If you listen to a lot of preachers in small churches their sermons are all over the place. But having said that, preachers who have larger congregations would cease to have larger...

    Stock Market?

    In January or so the market moved up higher than it could sustain. It would have fallen sooner or later whether the virus happened or not. Right now, the market is where it should have been all the time.
