Yes. Deal me in please.

That's good, Charlie. That particular part of the service obviously has a distinct spiritual value in your church. It almost caused some conflict at my mom's church, in Louisiana, when some ole gal got carried away and kissed my mom on the mouth. Mama wanted to bust her head for it, but...

I don't have any concrete evidence to prove my belief that animals don't have an afterlife, but I know that God spoke all earthly life forms into existence, except for man. He used His hands to put man together and breathed His own breath into man. God made man in His own image, and gave man...

Sue - I can Identify with your concern over applause in the church. It is done in so many SBC churches today whereas up until the late 70's, it was almost never done. If a choir or individual singers are singing unto the Lord, it is my feeling that applause stands to rob those singers of their...

I guess I am fishing around to see if Southern Baptists feel that I am off base with my thinking or if a good many feel the same way I feel. In a large number of Baptist churches, in the area where I live, the worship service begins with a song or two. Then it is like time out is called, and...
