How is it that this board takes upper-case letters and automatically reduces it to lower case upon clicking the post new topic button? Example, WWII is automatically reduced to Wwii. Just curious is all.

I'm sure this discussion goes on among all Christians from across the ages. I'm not sure about the statistics of divorce among both Christians and non-believers because it bores me. I know two brothers in the Lord who are licensed private detectives. They never accept a client with divorce on their mind, because they are driven by something that Jesus said: "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." (Mark 10:9 KJV) They would be party to the disarray that follows a divorce, and throughout the years they've been in business, they have turned down two (seperate) requests to be hired to get the dirt on a cheating spouse. T…

I joined this site a while back and am just now getting to come back. Looking forward to fellowshipping on here with yall. I in the meantime was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and underwent surgery for that. Dr.'s have given me a great outlook and complete recovery and certain that they got it all. My husband is the pastor a local Baptist Church and I don't know about yall but it seems that Satan is attacking so hard these days in the area of physical sickness. God's still good tho!!

I could be wrong, but I believe that if you had an abortion or abortions in the past, you can be forgiven if you come to know Jesus Christ later in life. I believe that all those children’s are in heaven, simple because they never heard or rejected the gospel of Christ for salvation. This is in my humble opinion, have a happy life, TGL.

I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in a book swap? Trading or borrowing with other members who have IFB books. Since the local library doesn't have a section for IFB books and some I'd like to preview before purchasing and some I'd like to just read and be done with it. Books are so expensive on a limited income even sale one's. I only have a few books since becoming IFB and would like to read more on Baptist history. Since I'm somewhat new to IFB I'm unfamiliar with authors in this area also for finding using books on Ebay.

When I was on my honeymoon we traveled through Pensacola Florida, I drove past a huge billboard that asked the question, “Are you God’s Woman?” the artwork showed a modest lady holding a Bible and listed some character traits of a godly woman. I’ve never forgotten that. After nearly two decades of marriage, I’d like to thank God for my wife exemplifying that snapshot memory from our honeymoon. She is a Christian and I’m grateful for her gentle spirit. She spends time with God. She’s a homeschool mom that works very hard. She knows much about gardening and labors much in ours. She knows much about preparing healthy meals. She's never held hands with another man. …

To the 20% who do the work Luke 10:38-42 38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. …

I read Psalms 113 yesterday morning. Again this morning I carefully read the same Psalm several times. Psalms 113:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. 2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. 3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised. 4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. 5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, 6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! 7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill…

I've noticed for a while now that churches and preacher are not posting their preaching schedules much anymore. Am I missing something? I always enjoyed taking my family out to hear another preacher from out of town. I hate to refer to pastors of larger churches as "Big Name Preachers" but without having to call of these churches to find out who is going to be where, how do you find out these things anymore?

What is the deal with Pentecostals and Orbs? Seriously, does anyone know? Our local AOG church touts on their website the many sightings of 'orbs' in their church, claiming them to be somehow heavenly. I dont read in the Bible about 'yea, verily the holy Orbs shall surely come down to cleanse thy churches, 'ere Messiah returns'

Top 10 Rudest Things People Do in Church It doesn’t bother me anymore to hear a phone ringing during a church service. It’s part of life in the 21st century. But I’ll admit I was shocked last month when I heard a ringtone while I was preaching—and a woman seated in the third row pulled her phone out of her purse and began a lengthy conversation as if she were in the waiting room of a beauty parlor. That incident prompted me to post a question on Facebook the next day. I asked my friends to share their own stories of rudeness in church. That triggered an avalanche of pent-up frustration about crinkly peppermint wrappers, loud music, smelly feet (yes, someone took o…

Hello there, Well, God has made it apparent that The Crown College is where He wants me to go. I've never been there before, so the day I move into my dorm is the day I see the school for the first time. I have a lovely peace about it, and I know I am going to love it because that is where God is directing me at the moment. It will be my first time going to an out-of-state school. I was just wondering if there is anyone who goes there or is planning to go there who can give me any kind of tips? I don't really know what I'm asking for. lol It just seems like I can't find anything about this College unless it's from the official website. But I would just like to hear f…

I used to debate Watch Tower victims with Scripture but I learned long ago they’ll waste your time as long as you’ll let them. However, I do share a few things with them; allow me to share. Since “kingdom” is one of their buzz words, I quote them John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Most Watch Tower victims will state that they are NOT born again to which I reply “You’re not going to see God’s kingdom. Then if they'll allow it, you can try the approach I’ve outlined below which will send them running to their leaders with questions. 1. Establish that Jehovah is th…

This prospect called awhile ago, I gave them my email addy, and they sent the above message. #1. They want me to sketch a concept/design for them. #2 They apparently want "a few" other companies to do the same and... #3 They want us to drive to the location...only one company will get the job. Most all designers and sign companies give free quotes and, due to the nature of custom projects, many times those quotes take a good deal of time to complete; but are still free. Yet, when a designer actually designs something, that is considered working for the client... Nevertheless, many times unscrupulous prospects will take the "sketch" you so graciously submitted and…

Since the "Count Your Blessings" lacked interest... Here's a partial list of unfortunate circumstances I've had to deal with in life (before salvation): 1. I grew up in a home where the Lord Jesus Christ was NEVER talked about. 2. I attended a fraudulent “church” that lit candles and chanted long prayers that never told me how to get saved. 3. I was made to attend a godless public school system. 4. The world’s profane music and television molded my views as a young man. 5. NOONE ever presented a clear presentation of the gospel to me until I was in my 20s (To my knowledge, I had never met anyone claiming to be a blood-washed Bible-believer.) 6. I had no inter…

I thought since I love hymns and the wisdom behind their lyrics, I’d be obedient to the admonishment found in “Count Your Blessings.” A partial list of my blessings are: My sins are under the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; I have a copy the Bible; My wife and family; My church; My country is still free; God’s provision; God’s music; Fellowship with the brethren; Our garden; Praying with my children; The majestic scenery where I live… Please tell some of yours.

We dread hearing a doctor say those words. Some of us here today may have a cancer growing in our bodies at this very moment. As terrible as the thought of cancer is to us, I put it forward to illustrate a point. The human body was not made to be cancerous. When our cells are invaded by cancer, these cells are totally adverse to our normal body function. Many of us have lived long lives without cancer and never given it more than a passing thought. However, the greater number of us has had some brush with cancer either, personally, a loved one, friend, or acquaintance. Cancer’s effect on the human body is the closest relationship I could think of when attempting to p…

What are some good YouTube preaching videos, actual videos of the preaching, not just the audio preaching? I'm especially interested in playlists of sound preachers if anyone knows of them too.

Haha, sounds like you’re doing all the hard work! If only you were a pastor, right? Then you could just preach, shake hands, and have all the free food show up. But for now, it looks like your wife is keeping you busy with all that car washing and laundry folding! 😄 -

I understand that. The real issue for me would be if someone added something to the Bible and claimed it as part of the Word of God. Anything else is just there for helps. For the record, I won't be buying a Trump Bible either. -

The church we're members of didn't have evening service, rather they had several small groups. Since the Wuhan Flu the church has stopped all small groups. On most Sunday evenings they have choir practice for a choir we NEVER use. It's been a royal mess since 2020. -
