    Turn On Your Speakers

    Yes, I remember Kate Smith. Those were the days. Why back then, most celebrities could bring honor to God without folks wanting to sue each other. Remember Red Skelton, "Good night and God Bless". :thumbsup:

    How to encourage your pastor

    ...pointing to him. Nothing wrong with that at all and some pastors need all the support they can get. Good for you. :thumbs:

    The sad condition of baptists

    I had planned to start a thread such as this but didn't get around to it. Yes, there are some Baptist Churches out there that are spirit filled and people get saved and folks just can't wait for the next meeting. On the other hand, there are way to many Baptist Churches out there where the...

    That is NOT what "Your body is a Temple" means!

    The verse is not talking about taking care of the Physical health of the body. It is speaking of taking care of the Spiritual health of the body. So unless you can show in scripture where being unhealthy (physically) is sinful, that verse is not speaking to that. How right you are. No need...

    How to witness to a Catholic?

    ...rots of ruck! :thumbsup: Actually, there is nothing you can do for a Catholic..., but witness to them. The Lord can do something though. Catholic used to say, "Give us your kids for seven years and they will be Catholic for life." That's sad.

    That is NOT what "Your body is a Temple" means!

    In my youth I was as strong as an ox. Used to be able to grab the rear bumper of a mid-size car and bounce it off the ground. Needless to say, there is nothing wrong with physical endurance, strength, working out, etc. For bodily exercise profits little: but godliness is profitable to...

    Should Pastors Seek the Missing Sheep from the Flock?

    Finally, I blurted out: "I've got a question for you. Why are we having to come here and beg you to come to church? If you're believers, why do we have to send cards, call you up and come out here to ask you to do what you know you ought to do? You should be knocking the door down to get there...

    Pastor's Unrealistic Expectations of Board Members

    Two threads. 1, Pastor's Unrealistic Expectations of Board Members 2nd, Unrealistic expectations of pastors Random comments, I would be tickled pink if the deacons showed up at least half of the services and visited someone every so often. Frankly, we're just happy if they come to church at...

    Unrealistic expectations of pastors

    All born-again believers are members of the Body. The head of the Body is Christ. The Body is made up of those with the gift of being apostles, prophets, teachers, miracles, healing, helps, governments and tongues. I Cor 12:28 All the while, members of the Body of Christ are members in...

    Unrealistic expectations of pastors

    Because someone had a broken toe? Really?!? Trolling here? I spent 45 years in the work place. When I went on vacation I walked away from the job until I returned. Any pastor should be permitted to go on vacation without being called to come home. Often, when a pastor goes on...

    Unrealistic expectations of pastors

    Do you think a pastor should be unavailable during his vacation? Yep.

    Unrealistic expectations of pastors

    The only thing I expect a pastor to be is sincere and down to earth. I knew of one pastor who refused to tell anyone where he and his wife were going on vacation. It seemed as though he would always get a call from someone wanting him to return home early as Sister Ida Mae was in the...

    Assurance

    How do you know that you are saved since these all believed that they were saved and find out too late that they are not, and does your belief in your salvation agree with scripture? I'm sorry. I thought the above was your question. I'll leave you alone. :wavey:

    Assurance

    If you get to heaven you can ask Him. Don't need to. I already know the answer. What is the difference between one who "thinks" they are saved and those who "know" they are saved? Simple faith. The Scribes and Pharisees considered they were on the road to Heaven but our Lord...

    Assurance

    When Jesus retreated to His place(s) of prayer I wonder if He argued Doctrine with His Father?

    Copied and Pasted Now John answered Him, saying, "Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us." (Mark 9:38) At first glance, it appears a noble thing that Jesus' disciples kept such careful guard over the...

    Use of the Local Church Building

    In a church we attended ten years ago a new set of by-laws were proposed. After the vote to accept these new by-laws and after a long delay, the new rules were distributed to the membership. We discovered a slight alteration to the original language. "Use of any facilities of XYZ Baptist...

    Nursing Mothers

    The Word reflects in Titus that the aged women are supposed to teach the younger women to be discreet and chaste. The word discreet comes from the word discernment, which refers to being wary, or cautious, or taking everything into account before speaking or acting so as to avoid social...
