Hi I have question when we die, do we go straight to heaven or sleep? Wait for the 2nd coming . The reason I ask is because of Matthew 9:23-24 it describes the girl not dead but sleeping . Same with lazerus , describes him as sleeping ??

I had a guy tell me today that he is a "Calminian" which is apparently some kind of hybrid thing between Calvinism and Arminianism? Any of you ever heard of such a thing? And I wonder what flower they hide behind.

“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.” (Revelation 22:18) This very sober warning right at the end of the Bible was given by Christ Himself (note verse 20) to indicate that the written Scriptures were now compl...

I am assisting my Pastor with organizing a missions conference at our church for October of 2019. We do not have an exact date in October yet but I will update when more information comes available. The church is Heavenly Heights Baptist Church in Jacksonville, FL. We are looking at doing a Wednesday through Sunday Conference. My pastor is communicating with Dr. Burge the President of Baptist Missions to Forgotten People to be the keynote speaker. I am looking to see if anyone here is or can recommend missionaries that are interested in being a part of the conference. I am looking for missionaries on deputation and veterans that are home in furlough. We have spots f…

I am a bi-vocational pastor who is not sure I fit the qualifications of 1 Timothy 3 or Titus anymore. I make good money in my secular job. Long story short my wife, out of pure neglect and procrastination, let one of our vehicles get behind to the point of repossession without my knowledge until it was to late. There is plenty of money in the budget and there really was no reason. Now I feel hypocritical preaching God's Word. What should I do? I am torn apart inside.

Hello, all. Hope you're doing well. I have some questions about deputation. The wife and I are called to missions, potentially, and perhaps even the ministry of a church (i.e., teaching in a Christian school). If we do go on deputation, what are some things we can look for during it? Some of the threads about deputation I've seen mention getting a motorhome/camper. We, too, have discussed that. . Which IFB mission board did you use? We are starting the process of selling unnecessary things like our Camaro. I am in my third year of Bible school. I believe that the education weighs in on mission boards as well. We believe the Lord may be calling us to Canada. W…

BEWARE FEMALES - FACEBOOK STALKING (Friday Church News Notes, January 25, 2019, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - A missionary friend in a Latin American country wrote the following: “I have seen several young girls here with Facebook ‘friends’ who are men from other countries. I have counseled several and warned about this. They all replied that they get bombarded with ‘friend’ requests. I decided to do an experiment, and the results were very disturbing. I opened a fake Facebook account as a 17-year-old girl from this country. No photos, no likes, no friends, no links to anyone or anything. I used an unregistered new phone chip.. Read More …

Do you think babies can be born during tribulation? I believe that the ones that are alive (including in the womb) will go to heaven at rapture, but I'm wondering if there will be any born after that.

Have you ever faced a moment when you felt like you were “losing faith?” Almost always those moments are connected to times when God did not behave as we expected Him to. He didn’t come through “when,” “how,” or “as” we expected. In those times, we face a crisis of belief. Has God let me down? Is what I once believed untrue? Is it less true? And to what degree should I base my faith (belief) upon my experience, or upon the validations or tests that I have constructed for God? If God doesn’t jump through my hoops, do I have permission to give up on Him? These are tough questions, and, to be sure, many people have walked away from God and rejected faith on the grounds that…
