The greatest problem we have in all nations is that government believes it is the nation with sovereignty when in fact the sovereignty belongs to the people. So governments rise and fall.

Such mighty giants have all fallen with their institutions lying in rubble. The seat of power in so many governments is only the spectacle for tourists today as this one in Crete. The only thing to survive time and circumstance is human nature, our customs, nurturing, and our love of our posterity, which is passed on from…

Bible Scholar: The NEW Date for Christ's Return Why one Bible scholar is arguing that Hal Lindsey's famous prediction for Christ's return wasn't so wrong It's one of the most controversial parables in the Bible: the lesson of the fig tree.

Due to a recent topic that was posted here on Online Baptist we are thinking about having a debate forum where only certain 3 or 4 members can discuss in a debate format (not a free for all). I'll be away next week, but let's get the ball rolling on topics. Please post topics below that you feel would make a great discussion and I will choose one when I get back. Thank you.
