I am prepared to take this risk because my heart is so heavy with what I have experienced in Cameroon for 8 years. I do not want to carry the burden of war for the rest of my life. For years now, my life is a testament to the indomitable human spirit, my hope shines brightest in the darkest of times, my life journey remind me that even amidst adversity, there is a path to happiness, love, and a fresh start. My life is a story of unwavering determination and boundless hope. I don’t mine if I should fly, run, walk, even crawl in order to leave Cameroon . The danger through the desert, the Mediterranean sea and imprisonment in Europe is better than freedo…

This past Sunday morning, taking the garbage out to the refuse bin way down our driveway, I somehow ended up face down in the gravel. My wife saw what happened and came out to help me get up from my spill. After getting back to the house we began to assess the injuries that I had sustained. I was bleeding from both knees, and the lower half of each leg was beginning to bruise. I knew I had a concussion by the extreme headache and blood coming from my sinuses. I had a small gash on my forehead, and my nose was bleeding on the outside left. It was also clear that my right thumb was broken. My whole forehead was beginning to turn black and blue, and both eyes as well. There …

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?

If we are all brothers and sisters in Christ, independent Baptist church, and members. In my years, visiting English and Spanish churches, I noticed a lack of communication between other pastors and churches, the pastors don’t fellowship much with other pastors of the same faith. Some type of competition going on, I do see where some teachers and members jump from one church to the other, some come back, and some do not. I do know that one church missions might be different from the other church missions. But the main mission for all these independent Baptist churches is to reach the lost for Christ. Does your Pastor fellowship with other pastors of the same faith, or is…

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I feel that the weeks, days, and hours are going by much quicker, maybe it is because I am retired, now. 👵👴👴🏾🧓

In talking with several people that I am in contact with through physical therapy, grocery shopping, my wife's place of employment, etc, I have been asked many times why Christians are so hateful when they are talking to people. I asked for examples, and some of them were shocking, many of them being from Baptist pastors, deacons, and laypeople. I'm going to list several of the conversations, abbreviated.... 1) A young man my wife works with went to a Baptist church to visit with the possibility of becoming a member with his wife and three children. They visited an I(big "I" little you) FB church. It's a pretty well-known church in the Nashville area. They went to Su…

Many years ago, I remember some Christians being against having a Christmas tree in the home. i’m not talking about the Jehovah witnesses. I’m talking about born-again Christians. No longer, people seem to not care about it now. Some Christians put them up and some don't, it is all for fun. We all know that the holidays are for sales to gain 💰more business. Christmas time, faith believer, we all can fall into it, if you’re celebrating the birth of Christ December 25th. We all know that the date is not available to us, His birth. Giving out gifts any time of the year is fine for me. 🎁 I don’t wanna be the Grinch that stole Christmas. 😇

Cartoons are not for real but some of them really touches on human lifestyles, they become people for the good and for bad. Charlie Brown stood out for good, was Charlie Brown a Christian cartoon, person or kid? Example of an evil cartoon will be the Simpsons, now we know they were not Christians. Everything has a good beginning but later the world twists it towards evil.

For work, I had to go to Murfreesboro, Tennessee for a few days (I wish I had had time to visit some of you Tennessee folks). ? While it is beautiful, and I enjoyed it, it made me really appreciate New England. ? It all comes down to being where God wants you, and I'm thankful it is in Connecticut, which is the basketball capital of the world. ? BTW, the airport in Murfreesboro has to be one of the tiniest airports around. ✈️

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 you’re right shoe on, and tie, then your left side sock, left shoe,and tie. Something is wrong with you. ?

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.

It’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. ? 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 …

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.

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…

Hi, Everyone! This is an interesting topic to me, and one very near and dear to my heart! I’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 “in the Bible!” ?), and knowing that Christianity began was born in the Middle Eastern culture and tradition, I’m curious to hear your thoughts about how Western Christianity has developed over the millennia and, in particular, the American church experience! Let’s leave this open-ended, because there is so much here to discuss! God bless, …

Yes, I have a pastor friend in the Independence, MO area that spoke against this often. I've got an aunt and uncle in O'Fallon, MO who could be on either side of the issue. -
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.)
