    How do you put your socks and shoes on? šŸ¤ 

    by TheGloryLand

    If you put your socks on first, your right foot then your left foot sock, then you put your right shoe on, and then your left shoe. Tie them if necessary, you are normal. If you put your right sock on, then youā€™re right shoe on, and tie, then your left side sock, left shoe,and tie. Something is wrong with you. šŸ˜³

    Bathrooms Woman/man door (1) Woman/Man door (2)

    by TheGloryLand

    We went to a Dollar General store to buy some things for the home. I wanted to use the restroom but ran into these two signs. I was not sure which door to open, being afraid that there might be a woman using it or something, weird feeling. I didn't use it. We are living in troubled times.

    If I had a Million dollars, I can retire and follow Him

    by TheGloryLand

    Itā€™s nice to be in the comfort zone before you follow Jesus. The problem is, if you have everything and are living in the comfort zone, you will not depend on Him for everything. This is why he says, give it away and follow me. šŸ˜‡ Matt.4 [19] And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. Matt.8 [22] But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. Matt.9 [9] And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. Matt.16 [24] Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If …

    Does the United States need a national flat tax?

    by BrotherTony

    This was a great debate when I was going to high school, and has been raised again time and time again since. Would the citizens of the United States benefit from the dissolution of the IRS and the implementation of a National Flat Tax instead of the current graduated tax system and thousands of IRS agents? Would it be fair to everyone, or would it just be another benefit for the wealthiest one percent? Our neighbors to the North have a National Flat Tax, or something similar? Do you believe it has benefited them? Please give your reasons for the position you hold. Thanks.

    Iā€™m going to Heaven but I donā€™t wanna go there today

    by TheGloryLand

    Have you ever heard this phrase? Iā€™m going to Heaven, but I donā€™t want to go there today. I believe the fear of facing death, face-to-face, is why most people might say this phrase. Those who are born again, Christians have hope and we stand on His promises, that God told us we will be with him. But nobody wants to Go there today. Why do you think people say this?

    We're visiting different churches...

    by BrotherTony

    My wife and I finally believe we have the open door to visit several churches in hope of finding a new church home. The church we've been members of for the last 7 1/2 years has been taking a slow drift left. We've been patient and have tried our best to effect change in the right direction but it's been to no avail. The nepotism and cronyism is something that has always bothered me. One such case of cronyism is how three years ago the pastor talked the deacons into helping a friend of the pastor. They bought the man a new zero turn lawnmower and put him in charge of the church grounds and the mowing rotation. It went fair to middlin' the first year, but the second was a…

    The Westernization of Modern American Christianity 1 2 3

    by Josie

    Hi, Everyone! This is an interesting topic to me, and one very near and dear to my heart! Iā€™ve lived and have traveled all around the country and the world. Having lived in the Middle East for a few years and spending time at a former family home in Lebanon (okay, so it was super cool to essentially wake up each morning ā€œin the Bible!ā€ šŸ˜), and knowing that Christianity began was born in the Middle Eastern culture and tradition, Iā€™m curious to hear your thoughts about how Western Christianity has developed over the millennia and, in particular, the American church experience! Letā€™s leave this open-ended, because there is so much here to discuss! God bless, …

    Anniversary Trip

    So this is the third year in a row that we've been able to take a trip for our anniversary. First year we took an extended trip around the Olympic Peninsula (an 8 hour drive stretched over 4 days). Last year we were able to go to CA to see the Redwoods. The drive down the Pacific Coast Highway was beautiful. This year, we are going to north central WA, to Okanogan County. There is a church there that is hosting a fellowship meeting for the independent Baptist churches of WA. We thought we'd go and then head to one of the ghost towns in that area. Then back this way to spend the night in a town we stayed in on our move out here. Then on to church at a friend's chur…

    Many here ask, why do I post about the Baptist Church and Pastors

    by TheGloryLand

    Because, I believe this is a baptist forum. I am a baptist, many good things and bad things happens. I can post the good things only, but that would not be fare. We already have many good news only, posters. I don't get many likes here, but this is okay. I cannot even get a like to a prayer request here. God knows, this is true. I am not blind, and I do have attackers here, some are in control Admin, and will love me to just leave. I have thought about it. I will try to post some more positive posts. šŸ˜‡

    Love your Neighbors ā¤ļø

    by TheGloryLand

    Who is my neighbors? Do I have to love them all the same, or just love those that treats me well. There are many angry people out there. Many believers and nonbelievers the same. Christians that donā€™t practice this are hurtful to the ministry. These should not be placed to serve in the church. If they cannot serve outside the church. Two different Worlds

    My Granddaughter 1 2

    by Invicta

    I don't know if this is the best place for this, if it please ove it. The eldest of my granddaughters is planning to transition. It is realily destroying my daughter. I said to her daughter that her mum was so upset that she could hardly speak as he was having difficulty holding back her tears. I said that what makes you think that Frankenstein doctors can make a better job than your creator. I also gave her several bible texts. The sad part is that when she was a teenager she went to camp and said she had become a Christian and was baptised and joined her local Baptist church. Soon after she went to stay with my daughter for a fortnight who said they had a…

    Anyone ever play with these Bumper Balls?

    by Pastor Matt

    I posted this on my facebook page so I figured I'd post it here as well. We held a Youth Rally yesterday with Pastor John Barnes preaching and I bought these bubble balls for the teens to play with. What a crazy game as the teens love it. Anyone ever play with these? Make sure the parents sign waivers before they play. lol

    Wearing more clothing to protect your body from the heat and sun

    by TheGloryLand

    If you visit any country in the world, people wear clothing to protect themselves from the sun rays and the heat, here in America this does not apply, the more sun and heat, the less clothing people wear. Could this be a reason the skin cancer rate is very high also dehydration people not coping with the extreme temperatures. People walking around, almost naked itā€™s just not working. I think itā€™s a little too late to start learning from other cultures, the way they protect themselves from the extreme weather. Itā€™s a little too weird to walk around with an umbrella on a sunny day, not cool. šŸŒž

    Christian Music Training

    by Believer74

    Hello, I'm interested in advancing my music theory knowledge in the domain of Christian music. Specifically, high level chords and techniques. In searching for resources that might help me in this endeavor, I've mostly found materials that teach sacred music techniques and theory but with subtle influences from jazz, r&b, and other secular genres. If I wanted to move forward in learning Christian music theory and techniques without encountering secular genres or Christian Contemporary but via traditional gospel/Christian resources, would someone be able to point me in the right direction?

    Shekinah Glory 1 2

    by Jerry

    I just learned today that the word Shekinah (that supposedly means glory - though often they say it like Shekinah glory) that I have heard tons of writers and preachers used throughout the years is not from the Bible at all, but from the Jewish Talmud, the unbelieving Rabbinical commentary on the OT Scriptures (and commentary on their commentary - not joking). The two main words in the Bible for glory are: for the OT is kabowd, and for the NT is doxa. There are a couple of other words, but shekinah is NOT in the Bible at all It is not like using a non-Biblical word to describe an actual Biblical doctrine, like Trinity, rapture, incarnation - but actually is usin…

    UFO sightings, preparing for the second coming. 1 2

    by TheGloryLand

    I remember, listening to preaching where during the second coming, the rapture of the Saints. Christians are removed from this earth, the nonbelievers, saying that it was the UFOs. The balloon activities we are seeing now, are having people think, and search for UFOs again. The lost preparation, for the removal of the Saints.

    What is the best and worst thing about the state /country you currently are living in? 1 2

    by Pastor Matt

    Title says it all. Name the best and worst thing. I'll start: Connecticut Best: The weather. We get all 4 seasons with an awesome fall. Summers are in the 80-90's and winters are not that bad or long. We also get all the natural disasters on a small scale. Earth quakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards. Worst: Taxes and cost of living. $$$$
