When Jesus walked on the water, He also performed another miracle that benefited Him and His disciples. They had spent roughly 9 hours fighting the headwind and were stuck in the dead Center of the lake. At minimum they still had 4 hrs yet to go. They were exhausted and still miles from...

If the sexual allegations about Jack Hyles, his son David Hyles, his son in law Jack Schaap, and deacon A.V. Ballenger are true, they left a horrible legacy on First Baptist church of Hammond, Indiana and the IFB, sad to say. I listened to maybe 50 or more sermons by Jack Hyles before I...

Your automatic, knee jerk reaction may be to shout NO! But think about it. I think this topic is similar to how most preachers keep repeating. “Jesus spoke about hell more than He spoke about heaven”. Once a popular pastor makes some riveting remark, all the other Christian leaders pick up on...

I am not sure what you mean by “inherent authority of the church” and “it is the church that understands and interprets and applies the scriptures”. These expressions seem to be derived from the Roman Catholic magisterium doctrine.

Do you have the graphic novel versions of the Bible? The Action Bible, Kingstone Bible, Word for Word Bible Comic, Lion Graphic Bible, and Manga Bible?

We are saved by grace, not works. But once saved, we are supposed to do good works. Ephesians 2 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto...

It’s not necessarily what a group says about the Bible, but what they say about themselves, that makes them a cult. They could have wonderful teachings and much correct doctrine, but get away from them when they claim to be the best, or the most accurate, or specially appointed, or more...

Jack Hyles heresies reportedly include : https://www.2020scripturalvision.com/post/jack-hyles-part-1-the-manifold-evils-and-false-teachings-of-this-cultish-wolf-in-sheep-s-clothing Repentance unto salvation is merely repentance from unbelief. Submitting to the Lordship of Christ is completely...

The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) released a "list of accused sexual abusers" in May 2022 containing hundreds of names of pastors and church staff. Maintained for over a decade, this list was made public following an investigation that revealed leaders covered up abuse allegations. The...

No, the women are not claiming an equal ability to handle these situations of sex abuse. The women want the SBC to stop covering for sex predator pastors. They want protection from, and prosecution of, perpetrators. There are also males and females who demand that women be allowed to serve as...

That’s what you call adultery, fornication, child sex abuse, and rape? Rough around the edges? https://www.christianitytoday.com/2025/02/southern-baptist-abuse-database-pastors-ec-sbc/

Moore is using social media to call out SBC leadership for being more interested in protecting the pulpit from women preaching than protecting women from “an abusive pulpit.”...

Scripture More Accurately is obsessed with demons and their blood drums. Why is he posting about that all the time? No churches are using cannibalism drums, so his posts seem pointless.

Why do you think churches should be warned about using drums designed by cannibals in Irian Jaya? Pretty far fetched, eh? The nature of comments in this thread have become contrary to your opinions, and you cannot tolerate being challenged.

By conforming to the world, making music the main anttraction, and becoming seeker sensitive, many churches have made themselves irrelevant.

Adding electricity does not make a guitar conform to the world. Adding a microphone and PA system does not make a voice conform to the world. A synthesizer does not conform to the world more than a piano. These purely arbitrary distinctions are not spiritual or scriptural, but are just...

Since I was a teenager, until 2 years ago, I performed art rock, then techno music, with many synthesizers, had a band that played all over New York City, etc. I was obsessed with wild, weird, experimental music and extreme radical art. I think I went so far overboard that I now am completely...

My wife and I attended a Baptist church for a while and decided to take the new members class. In the syllabus, there was only one page on the new birth, but 8 pages on “music the pastor likes”. For him, Steve Green was too wild. We did not remain at that church for very long.

Many churches now have a contemporary service at 9 am and a traditional service at 10 am, so people can attend the service that best suits their preferences. I prefer traditional services. I listen to some contemporary Christian music on the radio, but do not like it when it sounds too similar...

Each house that was hosting meetings of Christian believers was a church assembly in Ephesus. This article you link to is also full of errors. After stating this, he then rambles on, contradicting it, saying there is no church as one body of Christ, there is only churches, meaning local...
