Pastor Larry, one thing I've realized over the years is that pastors very rarely take the time to listen. They are to busy preaching and there's simply no time to listen. The idea is that most all laymen are stupid as the pastor has all the answers. What I posted is not something I made...

This is actually pretty easy: Because the Bible says to consider these areas of a man's life. It gives qualifications for a reason. It is what God expects from everyone; it is what God demands from a pastor. And citing Paul's story is hardly helpful since the vast majority of that stuff was...

Tom Butler, how right you are. As a layman (converted in 1972) it appears to me that way too many churches are relying upon everything under the sun to enhance their efforts and not enough relying upon the Son. The church is dead if the Holy Spirit is not permitted to do it's work.

There is Barn Yard language and there's taking the Lord's name in vain. One hurts your testimony and the other is a sin, not to mention a slap in the face of the Lord. Those who need to rely upon such words to express their emotions are lacking in vocabulary.

Would you hire this man as your pastor? I know you've seen this before. *Arrested many times. *In and out of prison. *Often run out of town. *Never built a building. *Never spoke on television. *Never had a website. *Never had a Facebook page. *Never...

I am far from being a Bible Scholar but by the very definition you posted, Crabtownboy, "the conditional promises made to humanity by god, as revealed in Scripture" ...would appear to me the Bible, from cover to cover, provides us with His Promises and designed to control, motivate...

2 Chron. 7:14 Be sure to bring up the video below. Wish that it could be presented to every Church congregation this SUNDAY! A very beautiful presentation of the truth! When the screen fills up with words, then the words tumble to the bottom and new words start up again at the top of the...

As a Bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Kentucky back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and...

Chances are it's all about the money. Someone had their hands in the cookie jar?

When people resort to name calling and/or start criticizing another I consider it a lack of maturity. Ignorance. Cyber Bullies. All bullies are cowards to begin with. Often though, as none of us can equate to the likes of Ernest Hemingway much of what we post is simply misunderstood.

I have two distant relatives, my Great, Great Grand Father and his brother were Circuit Riding Preachers. One was Methodist and the other was Church of God. We're talking late 1800's. I've often thought that perhaps the best way to preach the Word is via Evangelists. At least this way...

No argument here. I am bitter as my wife and I have suffered much over the years. What really makes me so upset is that others can't see..., no..., absolutely refuse to see the harm they cause. I question their salvation. Our Pastor's Grand Daughter (18 years old) living in another state...

No, I don't suppose the Baptist have cornered the market on being cruel. What comes to mind is the following Scripture. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)...

I have been a member of four Baptist churches in the past 27... Over the many years we have attended and been members of at least 15 different Baptist Churches. It's been a trip.

Over the years I have seriously considered not belonging to any church. I am currently a member and have been in the same church for the past five years and seriously thinking of moving on. The problem I have run up against is that always present "clique" of members who's Grandfather laid...

I'm of the opinion that a few Born Again Christians in government is a fabulous idea! Jesus perhaps never ran for any office but he surely drove those Jewish Leaders nuts with His radical agenda which was contrary to the Party Line of the day.

Martin, obviously you're intent here is to continue demanding that I provide "evidence" to support my statement that no society has ever survived giving way to homosexuality so I'll throw in the towel. You win! I don't have any first hand evidence! Don't have any evidence at all. ...but...

There are probably some very nice individuals out there who would give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it..., but live the homosexual life style. These individuals are probably very confused and perplexed over their desires and have simply given in to it rather than trying to...

Martin, you asked for "evidence". The best evidence I can provide is, Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Romans, 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even...
