We don't have a lot of options for radio stations here in the Appalachia foothills. I keep my truck tuned to the local BBN station...the only other NON-options are K-love and recently a Catholic station. Are there some internet radio stations worth listening to?

Tonight at the library, I noticed a movie called, The Time Changer. It appears to be produced by TBN. Does anyone know if this movie is any good or not? If TBN is an acronym for Trinity Broadcasting Network, I am more leery. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask a question about History but I have an enquiry. I like to spend time reading History, not only British, but also European and N. American, and over the last few years have read quite a lot about the US Civil War. However, I note that some commentators refer to it as "The war between the States" and appear to get irritated by it being called the Civil War; can anyone help me with this? If you are travelling through the US are there any areas where you would get in trouble for calling the conflict the Civil War?

I know the answer to this. But I still wonder. God let man fall and sin to enter the world so He could show how gracious He is. That He is mighty to save. But I still wonder and question why God would let us do stupid things and make mistakes. How I wish that my flesh isn't corrupted and that all my choices in life are good ones. How I long to that day when we don't "get" to sin anymore or make bad choices. I would appreciate any inputs from you all. :)

Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. I was recently given this book to read and since I want to understand Islam much better than I do, I have started the book and thought I would ask if anyone has read it? I have read one chapter and have no opinion on the book at all. It is written by Nabeel Qureshi and the internet contains both good and bad reports on the man so I am simply wondering if I am wasting my time. If you have read it your thoughts would be appreciated, and if no one has I will certainly post my thoughts when I am finished.

Revelation 4:11 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Love God and love one another. Jesus said, John 13:34-35 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to ano…

Do you have any quotes from Christians which have encouraged or you found extremely uplifting for your Christian walk? I found the reference to McCheyne from reading Tozer's The Pursuit of God. While searching for 'McCheyne' I found The Biography of Robert Murray M'Cheyne (McCheyne) written by Andrew A. Bonar. Here's is the quotation of McCheyne found in the aforementioned biography... "It is a remarkable feeling to be quite alone in a desert place; it gives similar feelings to fasting; it brings God near." I thought it might be rewarding to hear from others with Christian quotations which have stirred their heart or spirit. Tozer himself is full of great q…

PragerU has a wonderful series of short videos that speak to the conservative senses of America and indirectly to the world. If you have wanted some straight answers without a lot of fluff their short videos are the way to go. Here is the web address I encourage you to take a moment or two and watch a couple of their videos I think you will agree that are very well done. Under the video tab you will find a list of categories that will be helpful. https://www.prageru.com/courses

Hello to all, Alan and I had a short discussion on British Major General Orde Wingate and his accomplishments during WWII. In that same frame of thought I decided to ask who you might consider the as being a great leader or general in the last 1000 years and why you believe them to be great. Wingate died at age 41 yet left an indelible mark on every country and continent he touched, including Israel, Ethiopia, Italy, Great Britain, America and Burma. I hope many will participate in this discussion, it should be fun

Hello all, I recently finished the book, The Leadership Secrets of Colin Powell, written by Oren Harari. I found the book fascinating and helpful, it is not a Christian book, consequently many of the ideas need to be filtered through God's word. None-the-less the people centric process of Colin Powell's leadership style and his driven nature to allow people the opportunity to make decisions within the framework of an organization are in my opinion long been lacking by many pastors and local church leaders. If you are looking for a book that will challenge your leadership style and give your mind food for thought I believe it is well worth the read. I would g…

Don't want to derail that thread so..... I sure am glad that I don't live in a place where I would feel it a necessity to concealed carry at all times. I am glad I don't live in a place where I would feel it necessary to have a loaded weapon by my bedside or next to my front door. Whether or not YOU think I should anyway, I don't feel any need to be armed in my society - and I am glad of it. Please note thst I am not saying anyone is wrong to have or feel like they have to have a weapon for protection. I am saying I am glad that I don't live in a place where I would feel it a necessity. Praise the Lord for that about where I l…

I want to write a blog post about asking others for help instead of stubbornly relying upon one's self or giving up entirely when confronted with a problem. I am trying to think of biblical support for this subject, but I'm drawing a blank, for some reason. Does anyone have any suggestions?

November 5, 1977 to Nov 5, 2017. Wow, it doesn't seem possible. 40!! Against the odds initially given -- I'm looking at the end of 4 decades and the beginning of a 5th. Celebration plans have already begun.

I am sure you are all aware that a new version of the disgusting story of Beauty and the Beast has been released. Aside from it being a love story, involving bestiality and magic, being marketed toward children, it now, reportedly, includes a sodomitic subplot. On a hunch, I decided to look up this director, Bill Condon. Apparently, the director of the latest children's film by Disney is directed by an open and proud sodomite. I found an interview of him with a sodomite travel magazine called "Passport." In it, he is asked: Passport: What is first thing you do when you get into a hotel room? Condon: "I wish I could say I’m like Ian McKellen and immediately…

Did you ever wonder what it would have been like to meet our founding fathers? The knowledge of the following was never provided to me by any of my teachers or professors. Through these letters I feel a greater understnading of nation's framers. I've copied out an excerpt below as an example. Franklin writing to Hancock from Nantes, France. THE DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. VOL. III. ED. Jared Sparks, 1829 THE CORRESPONDENCE OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. TO JOHN HANCOCK, PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS. Nantes, December 8th, 1776 "Our voyage, though not long, was rough, and I feel myself weakened by it, but I now recover strength daily, and in a…

I'm thinking about trying something new this summer. I love history, and have explored a lot of historic sites in the area during my travels, and thought it might be fun to try volunteering as a costumed interpreter at one of our local living history sites. May have bitten off more than I can chew, though - I participated in the orientation for a small historic site (the John Walter Museum) on Sunday, and now Fort Edmonton has called me for an interview there (yes, interview - they get a ton of volunteers and can pick and choose)! Assuming I pass the interview, now I've got to choose which site to volunteer at. Has anyone tried anything like this before? Which part…

I have never been a fan of comics and the older I get, the more I not only don't care for them, but I believe them to be dangerous. Here is a documentary called, "The Replacement Gods." It is done by a group of Seventh Day Adventists, but I believe the points they make are very valid. David Cloud also wrote a good article warning about fantasy called, "Fantasy Dangers."

I had a laugh reading some of these but, some of them would be nice to see in worship services today. FROST'S LAWS AND BY-LAWS OF AMERICAN SOCIETY A CONDENSED BUT THOROUGH TREATISE ON ETIQUETTE AND ITS USAGES IN AMERICA, CONTAINING PLAIN AND RELIABLE DIRECTIONS FOR DEPORTMENT IN EVERY SITUATION IN LIFE ON THE FOLLOWING SUBJECTS: Author: Sarah Annie Frost, 1869 ETIQUETTE IN CHURCH.

Is there anyone here that has worked for or is working for the USPS? I ordered a bundle of 100 Gospel of John/Romans newspapers from them a few days ago. They print them in and ship them from Cadillac, Michigan. The package was driven an hour north (50 miles) to Traverse City. It was then flown 500 miles southeast to Warrendale, Pennsylvania, where it is right now. The reason that I am confused is because I live in Livonia, Michigan, only 200 miles southeast of Cadillac. The package needs to be flown back another 300 miles. Why do they ship something 600 miles (out of state and back) out of the way? I get a lot of things shipped and they do this at least…

I am writing a paper / book on Baptist Distinctives and I am currently writing on the topic of Soul Liberty. My question is this: since Soul Liberty is the topic do I need to capitalize the words soul liberty each time the combination is used in the chapter and elsewhere? I would greatly appreciate your wise counsel.

A few days ago, I ordered a soroban abacus with a reset button from Ebay. I just chose one that looked fairly decent and that was reasonably priced. When I received the confirmation email, I noticed that it was being shipped from Shenzhen, China. I paid $14.95 + 3.95 shipping. I looked around Ebay and found the exact same abacus, even using the same photos, that ship from several different suppliers in the U.S., but they were selling for two and sometimes three times more of the selling price and had the same, and sometimes higher, shipping price. It blows my mind that I can buy a single China made product, directly from China, cheaper than I can buy that exact s…

Today is the anniversary of the M\assacre at Vassy (now spelled Wassy but prounounced the same) in France. On the first March 1562, the Duke of Guise and his troops attacked a barn where christians were worshipping and up to 200 were killed. Catholics dispute the figure, or even that there was one.

Since beards are referred to so much in scripture, I thought it might be both fun and edifying to have a thread where fellows can discuss all things beard. I am not usually one for discussing such things. I have seen an explosion of popularity of beards among men recently, which is wonderful, but I have also noticed an explosion of videos and websites of men talking about their beards in much the same way that women talk about make up; about which I am not pleased. For those of you who may not be familiar with what history and God's word has to say about beards and who may have not seen this video, I submit Pastor John Weaver's sermon entitled, "The Biblical and Hi…

The Bible being the problem, Did I say? I don't understand your translation, I am sorry. -

Here is what you said and I replied to.... The Bible mentioned if any man add or subtract to the Word of God? I know they’re not changing the Words, but they are adding to the Bible, man-made rules and songs, to it. With your criteria, Paul's Journey is no different than political addiction as they are both placed by men. You said "Adding to the Bible" as being the problem, not political motivation. -

I’m a very busy person helping my wife around the house, I cook sometimes, I clean the dishes plus put them away. I help with the laundry, and dry plus fold the clothes. I wash my wife’s car and pass vacuum inside, Shine wheels. It’s hard work sometimes, if I was only a pastor, I wouldn’t have to do all these things. 🤣 -

Revelation 14:10-11: "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." Revelation 20:15: "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 21:8: "And the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." -
