Finished this job for an Assembly of God church on Friday. Everything is made of high density urethane, except the 60" diameter background disks which are birch plywood textured with a splatter texture and sprayed with acrylic latex. Had to cut the disks out as semicircles and edge glue them because the plywood only comes in 48" width. Everything, including the crosses, was machined on a CNC (computer controlled) router but there was still lots of design time and handwork went into it. The units weigh around 75 lbs each and will hang on the wall on either side of the pulpit. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151557997865709.1073741828.237891425708&type=1 …

Those crazy Christians, I was gonna sleep in today But the church bells woke me up and they're a half a mile away Those crazy Christians, dressed up drivin' down my street Get their weekly dose of guilt before they head to Applebee's They pray before they eat and they pray before they snore They pray before a football game and every time they score Every untimely passing, every dear departed soul Is just another good excuse to bake a casserole Those crazy Christians, go and jump on some airplane And fly to Africa or Haiti, risk their lives in Jesus' name No, they ain't the late night party kind They curse the devil's whiskey while they drink the Savior's wine …

I have been reading the book "90 Minutes in Heaven" by Don Piper, and have to wonder where Mr. Piper came up with all this stuff he wrote. He said he was killed in an auto accident involving his vehicle and a truck driven by an unlicensed prisoner from the Texas Department of Corrections. I have searched all over the internet and can find no newspaper articles that would corroborate his story. Nor can I find any article stating that a warden was being investigated for allowing a prisoner to drive a truck on Texas highways and not having a driver's license. Then, when he arrives in heaven, he meets his grandfather, Joe Kulbeth. I searched the internet for his grandf…

Judas was a God-called preacher. I've seen my share of those who professed to be "God called" preachers. I wonder what all Judas Iscariot preached when he was sent out as one of the 12? How do you think Judas spoke in front of others when he thought Jesus could not or would not know it?

Celebrating the birth of the church. It came out as I was preparing for a future lesson (not my original thought). Yes, I understand some folks have another day pegged as the birth of the church, I have not formed an opinion about that. So, I don't intend to discuss that aspect. What do you think? How should the church celebrate the Day of Pentacost or, the day you pick (as the birth of the church), Is there any reason to celebrate it at all?

I'm assuming Freewill Baptists believe some level of Arminianism but don't know for sure. Do they believe you can be lost again of you sin and don't confess it before you die, or do they believe you can 'renounce" and be lost...or both? Thanks Reason I'm asking. is a rep from a local Freewill Baptist church ordered something from my company which is a custom item which I cannot resell, They have not paid, and aren't returning my calls. Sure wouln't want them to "check out" with any unconfessed sin.

From the Berean Call: MUSLIM "MODESTY PATROL" STALKING STREETS OF LONDON [Excerpts] Earlier this month, a group who had claimed [that] an area in East London was a "Muslim area" had told people that alcohol was banned, or that they were dressed inappropriately. Borough officials, community leaders and police condemned a group of self-proclaimed vigilantes who took it upon themselves to patrol the streets of London confronting people they deemed as indulging in "non-Muslim" behavior. The group, who dubbed itself a "Muslim patrol," filmed the incidents and posted the footage on YouTube. In one video, which was published by the UK news portal The Commentator, th…

Just bought the first season of "Cheyenne" from Walmart for $30.00. That was a good old western that ran in the late 60's I believe; It starred Clint Walker as Cheyenne Bodie. Good viewing. Waiting for the Virginian 7th season to go on sale. Amazon has it for 40.00 or so, but I am hoping it goes down. My memory is so bad that I can watch them several times before I remember all of them! I have the first 6 seasons of the Virginian, and they are all good.

Primitive Baptists, as some may know, do not believe in using musical instruments in worship. But a good friend of ours, who is a Primitive Baptist, comes from a very musical family and they play and sing Christian/gospel music. Once a month, they invite us over to their home to 'pick and grin' and we all sit around and jam on our banjos, fiddles, guitars, mandolins and sing old hymns. So if it's not OK to sing about Jesus while plunking your guitar in the churchouse why is it everywhere else? I've never gotten up the nerve to ask why.

My hubby and I watched a movie the other night that is just stark and good. Resistance Movement tells the true story of 3 teenagers (15, 16, and 17) who did what they could to resist Hitler. They operated independently of the actual Resistance, but they tried, nevertheless. The movie was written as a play, and it is presented in that format on the DVD. It was written/directed by my mom's best friend's granddaughter (Kathryn Lee Moss) from something her brother (Nathan Lee), who was producer, wrote. A good number of the family was involved with the production, including some of the acting. I was excited about watching it for that reason, but the content is great! …

Love the 11th commandment John 13 31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. 33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. 34A 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 another. Matthew 25 31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, a…

I don't like posting this but I've waited to see if it came up and hasn't so here it is... Marcus Hook Mayor arrested, seeking re-election These folks attacking the 2nd Amendment aren't as nice as they would have you believe. How much of the following applies to him? Romans 1:28-32 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, in…

So this morning I'm on my way to the hospital for my son to get tubes in his ears. I get a phone call that sounds just like a sales person. They said, "Hello, I'm XX XX, how are you today?" And initially I said, "Oh...I'm busy." And just as I was about to hang up the phone, I realized the name that the person said was familiar to me. So I put it back to my ear and said "Wait, who is this?" And it was a young adult son of a family we know. So I apologized, I felt so stupid. haha. But THEN he did inform me it WAS a sales call because he's in school for business and they are having to do some sales for a particular business for class. (I told him, see, I KNEW it wa…

The Bible won't even save him It did not work.

Because Christ lives, we have a "better sacrifice". Those other "religions" have a memory, while we have a living savior! Because He lives I can face tomorrow. Because He lives all fear is gone. Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living, just because He lives. Christ Lives! Happy Easter!

I was saved May 13, 1980. The Holy Spirit lead me to an Independent Fundamental Baptist church, most of my Christian life I've been Independent Fundamental Baptist. I just did 5 yrs in a state prison, 2 yrs ago. when I was In there, I fell in LOVE with my LORD and God. I had a Independent Fundamental Baptist paper mailed to, I wrote to 70 Independent Fundamental Baptist churches, and to this day I have not gotten a letter from them, why is that? Did not Christ say visit them in prison? feel free to give your input.

I got my hearing aids at about 1:20 PM today. The strangest thing to me so far was talking right after I put them on, that was weird, I would start to say something & after the 1st word or two come from my mouth I would just shut up! But did not take long to over come. Setting in the room where I 1st put them on there was a computer fan running behind me about 4 to 6 feet. While setting in that room with the sound of that computer fan running in the back ground I could hardly notice my tinnitus. Its going to take me a few days to get use to them, so far its going pretty good. But I’ve got a bit of a headache. Two incidents I would like to mention, one was afte…

The shroud of Turin is one long piece of cloth with a picture of a crucified man on it. Jesus was rapped with two separate pieces of cloth. One was wrapped around his face and head and the other was wrapped around his body. John 20:6-7 6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, 7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

Was Iraq Worth It? By Patrick J. Buchanan Tuesday - March 19, 2013 Ten years ago today, U.S. air, sea and land forces attacked Iraq. And the great goals of Operation Iraqi Freedom? Destroy the chemical and biological weapons Saddam Hussein had amassed to use on us or transfer to al-Qaida for use against the U.S. homeland. Exact retribution for Saddam's complicity in 9/11 after we learned his agents had met secretly in Prague with Mohamed Atta. Create a flourishing democracy in Baghdad that would serve as a catalyst for a miraculous transformation of the Middle East from a land of despots into a region of democracies that looked West. Not all agreed on the w…

I saw on O'Reilly tonight that there's a 10 hour miniseries called The Bible on The History Channel that starts at 8pm this Sunday. Supposedly it will stick to the literal story telling of the bible from Genesis through Revelation without adding anything. O'Reilly was giving the producers some guff about this because in his mind the bible mostly allegorical and the gospels are full of contradictions which, of course, the blow-hard's coming book Killing Jesus will straighten out. Some of the previews looked good so I think I'll check it out. http://www.history.com/shows/the-bible

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. -

We do not currently have a Sunday Evening Service. Working a full-time job takes up a lot of my resources, but the goal is to have a Sunday Evening Service one day. -

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. -
