    Reminds me of a post a saw on fb of someone putting pics up of their new baby with her female partner.  Done artificially I think..the sperm put in.  A whole lot of my Christian friends saw it and many 'liked' it..gave positive comments etc. We were all part of a CRU club. 

     

    CRU used to be theologically conservative with Bill Bright's teaching but something has changed with it. I think the older leaders have started to pass on and younger ones have the reigns who want to please the crowd. 

    I've never heard of CRU before, Is that mostly a New Zealand thing?

  2. How about a map tracing the path of a biblical journey, like Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt or Paul's missionary travels, or Hidden objects: Paint various biblical figures, animals, or symbols within the mural and create a scavenger hunt for people to find them.

    Of course I'm saying this and I have no artistic ability to make my thoughts happen. 🤣

    Hello everyone! 

    Its been a very very long time since I have been on here. I was wondering if there was a section of this site that had listings for churches looking for pastors or pastors looking for churches? 

    Sorry, we do not have one here, but I can send you a church or two in Ct looking for a Pastor

     

  4. Is the title click bate? 😀

    Hey everyone, I'm curious about something and wanted to get your thoughts. In your part of the world, do you often see non-independent Baptist churches celebrating new members who have recently left the IFB? Here it almost seems like a goal for them, and I find it intriguing. Personally, I've never made a big deal about a non-IB member joining our church, but I'm interested in hearing about different experiences. Is it a common practice or more of a rare occurrence?

     I'm only asking because over here when that happens some churches just put them on a pedestal and brag that he/she just left a independent Baptist Church. 

  5. Each year our theme deals with an area that we need spiritual strenghting in.

    Our preaching is done with mostly expository with some topical thrown in. 

    On our pulpit we have the saying on it... "Just preach Jesus". I've heard preaching that was about opinions on both expository and topical preaching. If a pastor has an agenda, it will come out regardless of the type of preaching/teaching. 

  6. Alright, what are your church themes for 2024.

    Last year for us it was "Bring the Book" from Neh 8:1 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded to Israel.

    This year for us it will be "I Shall Not Be Moved": from Ps 62-5-8 
    My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

  7. What's up, OB'ers! Can't let this moment slip by without sending out a massive Happy New Year to each and every one of you! Thinking about the ride we've had together here - the chats and the laughs. It's been real, and I'm thankful to be here with you all.

    Before we dive headfirst into the New Year, I've gotta give a massive shoutout to our incredible mods! You all are the unsung heroes, keeping this place running smoothly, creating a space where we can all connect, share, and grow together. 

    Happy New Year Everyone
