I'm heading out to preach at Vision Baptist College tomorrow, when I get back I'll see what I can do. Thank you.

I'm not sure I've seen an IFB church have one. I'm in the process of making one for our church, and was just curious if other churches of like faith had one.

I do like this idea, and I will look into adding it to this software. 

Does anyone here attend a church that has its own Android/iphone app for its members? It the day and age that we live in, it seems more and more common that churches are using different forms of technology.

If your church has its own app,

1. Do you find it beneficial/helpful?
2. What size is the church?
3. Did you stop printing paper bulletins and go digital?
4. Did it increase the tithing/offering?

I'm going to leave it there for now, but I just scratch my had sometimes.

I was just looking at some of the stats from my. online Baptist, and one of the biggest search queries in this last month that people have found us was by googling wife spanking. Now we're talking about husbands who discipline their wife by spanking. 

I guess I'm just kind of dumbfounded that people would actually be searching for this. Is this still a thing today?

Here is the link.

I'm no expert on this matter so I could be wrong, but I would think that the 3 board members that are left would discuss and vote on what to do with the monies that are left over.  I do not know anything about your situation, but I would vote that the monies go to a like minded church that could use the funds to keep the doors open.

I don't believe Biblical modesty changes. Some pants are modest, some are immodest. Some skirts/dresses are modest, some are immodest. What I think changes is our acceptability to certain things. Culture will always change, but sin will always be sin.

Several years ago I read a document that gave a big list of people being saved through tracts. I thought it was on here, does anyone know where I could find it

I have never heard of this document, but I would love to see it or even possibly see about reviving one. 

Because of the formatting, the software though it was malicious code so blocked it. I'm guessing that is what it was.

I'll be praying they find a good man of God.

It is written in our bylaws that if the church closes, that the monies would be given to a like minded church.

Awesome, it's always great to meet Christians across the country and world.

I must say I have never heard of this before. Very odd.

Hi Pastor Matt,

I checked again and I still can't post from the "Create" tab, the Private IFB Forums are all grayed out.

Thanks for your help, I am from an IFB church in NY and wish to post a question.

Best,

 Paul Keck

My apologies, try it now. 

Those forms are special access only. Later tonight when I get to my desk I'll grant you access.

Thank you @Bob Tuttle for the links.

I do however think because of because of the little influence that Steve Anderson has in the IFB, that we give him too much exposure sometimes.

Two miles from downtown... overlooking Gatlinburg... are you sure you left the city.

When you live in the New York Metro area like I do, yes I left the city. Not nearly as much concrete and not nearly as many people.  Lol

Plus the rivers are clear in TN, and *gulp*  I lost cell reception in the mountains. Not cool. Lol

My family just returned home from a week long trip in Gatlinburg Tennessee to celebrate my Parents 50th Wedding anniversary.  My 3 brothers and their families was able to be there so it was nice having the family back together for a week. The cabin that my brother rented was the Amazing Grace cabin that overlooks downtown Gatlinburg. Here is a picture of the cabin (sleeps 25). 

Everything was beautiful, but way too many bears for my liking. I'll stick with the city, I'm used to people coming up on the porch when I'm reading my Bible, not have bears chase me back into the house, like this little bear did. 

Please define to me what the definition of murder is.  This is important to understand why God does what He does and to understand if God broke one of His own commandments (Ex. 20:13), so after you define that for me, I can proceed to answer your question.

How in the world are we minimizing Jesus power when we call him Jesus? After all, we pray in Jesus name. Jesus name is powerful, so powerful that his name banned in plenty of places.

My worship team did not get this memo.  

Thank you for the update

Thank you. I also deleted the Pm's from this user.

I remember her as well. I'll be praying for her.
