Where do people go when they die? The bible states that in death they are gathered unto their people according to their families. Genesis 25:7-10 And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. 8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people. 9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre; 10 the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. Genesis 25:17-18 And these are t…

As I was recently browsing old photos, I was blessed to realize that God has allowed me to know some truly great men. Throughout this summer, I’m sharing some of these pictures and memories to introduce readers of this blog to some of these men. Curtis Hutson Unique Trait: Soulwinning There is so much I could say about Dr. Curtis Hutson. He had a profound impact on my life and was a true statesman of the faith. He caught fire for soulwinning through a Sword of the Lord Conference in the 1960s, and it changed his life. For the next thirty-five years, until the Lord called him Home, he was a fervent soul winner and led many people to Christ. I first met Dr. Hutson when…

The question that I would like to raise is whether or not it is considered sinful for Christian women to wear pants, and why that is the case. The controversy within this community regarding women's apparel has manifested itself countless of times whether it be in small local churches, such as my own, or large scale conventions and conferences where the attire of an individual, typically a woman's, is criticized or condemned. Personally, I believe that one should place more emphasis on behavior/actions and our faith than in the triviality of appearances. However, I am aware of the fervent stance that many of us have regarding this issue and I would like to hear/see o…

As I was recently browsing old photos, I was blessed to realize that God has allowed me to know some truly great men. Throughout this summer, I’m sharing some of these pictures and memories to introduce readers of this blog to some of these men. Tom Malone Unique Trait: Innovation Tom Malone may have been my favorite preacher to listen to. Dr. John R. Rice called him “the greatest pulpiteer of his generation.” He was one of the most educated men in the independent Baptist movement (with an earned PhD from Wayne State University of Detroit), and his messages were filled with biblical content. He challenged me to read and to thoroughly study the Word of God. Dr. Malone…

Lost a Facebook friend yesterday. Nice lady I've known for years. I had posted this photo of a bear which was killed on the highway about three miles from our house. This lady, who claims to be a Christian, posted this statement : " I hope it hurt their car really good and they don't have insurance lol!!!!!" and "we keep encroaching on their living spaces". I thought I replied respectfully enough and a local pastor did as well but she is serious about this. She posts stuff about animal welfare all the time. But her particular posts are actually very mild compared to some of the similar statements I've seen on the internet. People are posting about wishing people dead wh…

https://bible.ca/b-canon-old-testament-quoted-by-jesus-and-apostles.htm A list of Old Testament quotes in the New Testament Books quoted by Jesus and other New Testament writers. A conservative, bible believing perspective! God's providence gave us the 27 book New Testament Canon, not the church. God, not men decided the canon. This providence does not mean that church leaders were inspired in their selecting the canon, only that God had his eye on the scriptures the whole time and brought about His will to form the Bible we see today! A list of Old …

I believe in tithing or those that want to give cheerfully, from the heart. This is not a problem and personal. What I am not convinced about is those who don’t use the tithe correctly. To continue to tithe in that location biblically correct? Where you might say it's between God and the leaders of that church. They will have to respond to God. Are we called to be blind in this area, this does not sound correct or biblical to me. I believe any Christian should take action or give somewhere else. We worry when we give a gift to charity, making sure our donation is spent wisely. Why not at the church?

As I was recently browsing old photos, I was blessed to realize that God has allowed me to know some truly great men. Throughout this summer, I’m sharing some of these pictures and memories to introduce readers of this blog to some of these men. Shane Lewis Unique Trait: Wisdom Pastor Shane Lewis was a man of principle, character, and integrity. The Lord called him to Heaven four years ago this month (June 21, 2020) after a hard-fought battle with leukemia. I loved Pastor Lewis’ commitment to Scripture and the fact that his friendships were based on others’ commitments to the Word of God as well. He was not as loyal to institutions as he was to biblical principle. Sha…

As I was recently browsing old photos, I was blessed to realize that God has allowed me to know some truly great men who are now with the Lord. Throughout this summer, I’m sharing pictures and memories to introduce readers of this blog to some of these men. Lee Roberson Unique Trait: Vision Framed in the hallway outside my office are several handwritten pages from Dr. Lee Roberson with advice for building a Sunday school. Not only do these six pieces of paper have great advice. (On his list with “Essentials for a Growing Sunday School,” his first two points were 1. Faith in the Word of God and 2. A Burden for Souls.) But they remind me of a man whose influence I treasu…

As I was recently browsing old photos, I was blessed to realize that God has allowed me to know some truly great men. Men like Lee Roberson, Tom Malone, Shane Lewis, Ron Hamilton, and others who are now in Heaven have left an indelible mark on my life. In reflecting on these godly men, I decided that I wanted to introduce the readers of this blog to them. Throughout this summer, I plan to share pictures and memories over the course of several blog posts. Each post will highlight a particular preacher and a trait that stands out about that man. Our first (and these are shared in no particular order) is Pastor Dave McCoy. Dave McCoy Unique Trait: Joy Pastor Dave McCo…

Deuteronomy 5:16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. I remember one of the last sermons one of my former pastors preached on Fathers' Day, He scolded the men up one side and down the other, In front of our wives and children. I don't think my kids or wife …

I hold Dr. Don Sisk in high regard for many reasons, including his many years of faithfulness to the Lord. It’s incredible to realize, but Dr. Sisk has been in ministry for seventy years. And he continues to serve the Lord with joy. It was a blessing to me to sit down with him for the latest episode of the Spiritual Leadership Podcast and discuss what it takes to stay in the ministry for a lifetime. (If you cannot view this video in your email or RSS reader, click here.) In our discussion, we focused on three areas: maintaining passion, balancing priorities, and holding a biblical ministry position. Here are a few timestamps with highlights from this episode: 4:…

Reader, 1.) Within Christianity, there is Truth, and there is what isn't. Both exist in Christianity as Light and Darkness. For example a believer born again, can be "fallen from Grace". Now...Regarding church doctrine and The Gospel, there is what Paul teaches and then there is everything else that must line up with it, for it to be "perfect". So, in both cases, the "other stuff", that does not line up with Paul's Doctrine, is not the Truth, and generally comes from the Father of Lies. Hebrews 13:9 Reader, God created Christianity, and Satan created everything else that tries to copy it or tries to ruin it, which is the same work. The simple …

I’ve been attending a Southern Baptist Spanish church for sometime now, I am a independent Baptist, and bilingual, I notice that the last 2 pastors preaching great messages but are not doing altar calls, like they should be doing, being the Baptist church SHC and it’s teachings. You may ask me, why are you not going to an independent Spanish Baptist church? Well, there’s not many of those around. I do attend both for my wife sake, she prefers attending a Spanish service for now. I also attend and listen to the IBC preaching in English. My questions is, why are pastors preaching and not asking visitors or members, if they will like to accept Jesus Christ for Salvation. Th…

Now we all know that Mary was Jesus earthly mother. Why don’t you ever listen or in years hear pastors or preachers preach a complete message on Mary, the mother of Jesus? Specially In a Baptist church, for she was chosen by God, but often is left out.

1-In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Was God (theos). The Word Theos Means God Theos is the basis of the word theology which means, “the study of God.” Theos is used a number of different ways in the New Testament. They are as follows. 1. It Can Speak of the True God When the true God is spoken of in the New Testament, the Greek word theos is used. For example, we read in John’s gospel, In this instance, theos refers to the true God. This is one of the regular uses of this term. 2. It Can Refer to “a God” The singular form of the word theos may refer to a singular god which is not …

Posted by a person in another forum: regarding Paul talking about 'not permitting a woman to speak': 'Scholars and Theologians have pointed out that verses (which they did not have chapter and verse originally) in 1 Corinthians 14.. 34-35 were originally a gloss written in the margin of 1 Corinthians by a non-Pauline hand but eventually inserted into the text of later manuscripts in different places (after v. 33 in some and after v. 40 in others). And for 1 Timothy 2:12.. The view of a large majority of modern scholars of 1 Timothy is that the epistle was not written by Paul, but dates to after Paul's death and has an u…

Reader. - On the Cross....Jesus became your sin.........all of it. 2 Corinthians 5:21 On the Cross....Jesus became your sin.........all of it. 2 Corinthians 5:21 Jesus took it all upon Himself and DIED, and it ended there. He didn't come out of the Grave with your sin on Him......He left it, and that is were you sin is found. Its not on you. It's on the Cross of Christ....and its gone if you are born again. When you read that you are "made righteous", having become "the righteousness of God, in Christ", .. that is indeed the reality regarding all the born again. God has established you as "in Christ", "made righteous" and there you remain for as long a…

Conservative writer, former university president, and preacher Richard Hayes who wrote a book on the Biblical stand on homosexuality (The Moral Vision of the New Testament) which has been used in many Bible colleges and universities around the world, has changed his views on homosexuality. His son is a co-writer with his father on a new book, "The Widening of God’s Mercy: Sexuality Within the Biblical Story,” released this past September. More information is in the article. This was just one article that I came across this morning on homosexuality and Christians. Out of the 25 stories in the news, 16 were on homosexuality and how Christians are losing the war against it.…

Copied from an online Christian page It is believed that Jesus’ ministry, from His baptism to His ascension, took place between AD 29–33. In this case, it can be inferred that Jesus died when He was between 33 and 34 years old. However, some also believe that Jesus was somewhere between 33 and 39 years old when He died (Ibid.), depending on the exact date of His birth and the year He commenced His public ministry.

The country seems to be going in a positive direction, sadly in Missouri we allowed amendment three to be passed.

I complete agree brother, we younger people are taught as you said that we are the descendants of primates, we are then taught that as you’ve mentioned about the new view of the Bible, that our religion is wrong and backward, a very sad thing in todays education. I hear it even from teachers and peers who would profess to be Christians.

It's strange how the Bible was held in such high esteem then, but that after this trial, not so very far from where I live today, the Bible is no longer welcomed into the classroom, and we are now considered to be the proginy of monkeys. It's so very sad. -
Hello brothers and sisters, I was recently given the assignment of writing a paper on the infamous Scopes V. Tennessee trial. I found it quite interesting how the defense attorney, Clarence Darrow, had no genuine argument or examination of the evidence itself. He instead called the prosecuting attorney, Mr. William Jennings Bryan, as a sole witness and ridiculed his faith, interpretation of the Bible, and his view of the creation account. I find this very thought provoking. best regards, Oldtyme (edits have been made for clarity and grammar purposes.)
