Do Independent Baptist leaders follow and support MacArthur teachings. I personally don't follow him. I believe he is ok, he sounds like a good talker and storyteller. You feel like you're in school and not a church when he preaches for me. I'll have to visit his sermon page, he sounds very smart and easy to understand. Any input to share about him. Do you listen to him and follow?

The world is changing, people are changing, and so are churches. I know there are many Christians who rather not talk about this. This is happening and many Christians are not happy to hear them doing this, during a service or from the pulpit. myself being a independent voter agreed that this should not be happening. The church is a place of fellowship, worship, and praise to the creator, and growth in the faith. I’m sad to say pretty much all my favorite preachers are falling into this. I know things are not looking good and they are worried but by using the pulpit, I humbly think they’re wrong doing this.

I decided to watch the NABJ interview today with Donald Trump. I was flabbergasted at the disrespect shown him while he was there by one journalist in particular. She made a STATEMENT, a long diatribe before finally getting to her question. She was also very contentious throughout. I believe Trump was justified in his attack back on her. Then the statements by ABC personnel afterwards were not only untruthful, but just as contentious as the one interviewer. Is it any wonder people have no trust in the MSM and have turned them off? They have a wonderful time promoting Kommie Kamala and covering up her poor job as Veep! This makes me want to support Trump even more.

President Joe Biden has withdrawn from seeking nomination for a second term as POTUS. He endorses Vice President Kamala Harris. The link I was trying to provide keeps going back and forth. More to follow.

Have you ever heard this phrase? I’m going to Heaven, but I don’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?

Drowning. It comes in waves. It form ripples, crests and troughs. It never stop. A chain of polymers. No deletion, insertion or substitution. It has an initiator, enhancer but no terminator. It is pain. Drowning in shame. Without mercy.

This morning I saw a report that more fully revealed the circumstances surrounding the resignation of Dr. Robert Morris, pastor of the megachurch known as the Gateway Church. Dr. Morris was 21, and a traveling evangelist. He was a married MAN, a minister of the Word of God, and initiated this "relationship." During this first assault on this 12 year old GIRL, not "young WOMAN" as he has referred to her, he told her that she shouldn't say anything to anyone as it would ruin everything. This is clear indication that he KNEW what he was doing was wrong and was already doing all that he could do to cover his tracks. The report more fully revealed the facts that the victim was…

100 years ago I would say yes absolutely. Today, I don't think so, truly we are spoiled with abundance.

Mistakes are correctable. Righteousness and humility are two qualities a Christian should pursue. Pride should never be part of their attitude. I am not proud of my altitude, my doing and my action right now. I am push by circumstances. Remember what Jesus Christ said in Mathew 6:33: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” May God bless His words in your heart. Happy Sunday

Come, ye sinners, lost and hopeless Jesus' blood can make you free For He saved the worst among you When He saved a wretch like me And I know, yes, I know Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean And I know, yes, I know Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean To the faint He giveth power Through the mountains makes a way Findeth water in the desert Turns the night to golden day In temptation He is near thee Holds the pow'rs of hell at bay Guides you to the path of safety Gives you grace for ev'ry day He will keep thee while the Ages Roll throughout eternity Though earth hinders and hell rages All must work for good to thee

"God heard their groaning, and he remembered his covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" Due to emotional issues and mental challenges i have been seeking for therapy and the best treatment i expected in the process of the patient is hearing. I believe i will feel better when are listened to especially with my challenge. It is refreshing and reassuring to know that God, my God, is a good listener. He hears me whenever i call. His ears are tuned to not just what i say but whatever i groan. What a God! Most times i pray and feel like God is not hearing me well. Isaiah 65:24 puts it this way "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will ans…

The gospel is not something. The gospel is someone. The gospel is not an idea, a concept, not even a biblical theme. The gospel is a person, the person of Jesus, the Christ. It is the good news about Him. He is the essence, substance, and content of the gospel. I am not afraid of the names attributed to me and i am not giving up. Con artist, liar, scammer, thief etc. No one can deviate me from my salvation. If i am alive today, it is by the grace and mercy of Christ and not any individual. When i came on to Christian sites, my primary intention was to look for help and better my life. I realized that the whole idea about Christian love is a stage. I have been judge and s…

A thousand or 10 thousands may accuse me of wrong. I accept what you says about me with humility. Yes, the accusation hurt, but perhaps God sees. He is my loving Father. He is the God of truth? He loves me, he lives sinners and He loves truth, will He not act when I am sincere? No matter what I face, I am patient, like lambs before the slaughter, God’s mercy will reign upon me as it did His Beloved Son. The Bible says the curses of others are a blessing if we accept it. King David was marching along one day when a raving lunatic came out of the woods and cursed him: “thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial... behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a…

With so much mental and emotional anguish, I wondered why God had allowed all of this. I wonder how God will put a human being in a situation I am today. Why 1. wouldn’t God fix this? 2. Why does God allow sickness? 3. If I am created in God image, is my suffering insult to God who created and loves me? 4. Did Christ death also wipe my own sin? John 3:16 5. Why will God allow the underprivileged to be treated in a less favourable way because of race, gender or disability. What is the essence of Mathew 7:12 I remember Amos 5: 24 but in our world those with wealth or influence are corrupt and unfair, taking advantage of the more vulnerable people in society. …

I watch and listen to the news and shake my head, listening to these conservatives and watching what they’re doing to each other. I know the independent Baptist Church support Republican and those that are conservative, which were very good at one time, but now it's a different story. I don’t believe that Christians should vote for the lesser of two evils. Is this a Christian thing to do? many of these politicians are lying just to get our votes, so why vote? I know that many of you will say, this is the right thing to do and it's our duty. Is it really our duty to vote for false leaders. ???

I have attended Independent Baptist churches, and the Southern Baptist churches. When it comes to supporting missionaries, it’s totally different. The Southern Baptist Church makes general collections they collect millions of dollars a year, and the convention decides who to give and help. On the other side the Independed Baptist Church each supports the missionaries or missions that they want to support, each give an small donations as each missionary has to raise funds. Fundraising by visiting the local church. Both are good ways for them are reaching out for missions. I believe that independent Baptist Church Ways of giving towards missionaries and mission is much bett…

Aurora Borealis in the PNW tonight. Stunningly gorgous! The first two are directly overhead our house, taken at 11:45 pm. The third (with a view inside the house) is taken from the back deck at 10:45. The final was taken in the front yard 10:45ish. Did anyone else see the lights? Any pictures?
