  1. I was hoping for your definition, not a copy and paste. Oh well, Merry Christmas my friend.
  2. Indian Rocks, FL, - Hulk Hogan, the iconic wrestler whose yellow bandana and handlebar mustache have graced arenas for decades, has taken a new stage: the baptismal font. The 70-year-old WWE legend, recently married to Sky Daily Hogan, underwent a public baptism ceremony at Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Florida, calling it the "greatest day of my life." Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, has long spoken openly about his Christian faith. In a recent social media post, he reflected on accepting Christ at 14, stating that "training, prayers, and vitamins" kept him in the game. However, this baptism marks a deeper commitment, publicly declaring his faith and "total surrender and dedication to Jesus." Photos and videos of the ceremony show Hogan and Sky, dressed in white, being gently submerged in the baptismal pool by a pastor. Hogan's signature bandana, this time in white, remains firmly in place, a testament to his enduring persona even in this sacred moment. His wife, Sky, also expressed her joy, sharing on social media that she was "so proud" of her husband and "blessed" to be baptized alongside him. The news has resonated with fans and the broader community. Indian Rocks Baptist Church, where the ceremony took place, celebrated the occasion, sharing Hogan's post on their Instagram story with the caption, "God is doing amazing things at Indian Rocks." Fans, too, have taken to social media, congratulating Hogan on his newfound faith and sharing their own experiences with baptism. Hogan's decision to publicly undergo baptism comes at a time of personal transformation. In recent years, he has faced controversies and legal challenges, but his faith has remained a constant source of strength. This public declaration of his commitment to Christianity suggests a renewed focus on faith and family in the next chapter of his life.
  3. Great poem, thank you Jerry for posting this
  4. I remember that. I was at Bible College when he first started Crown
  5. What Bible app do you use, and why do you prefer it? Whether it's for daily readings, study plans, or specific features, everyone has their reasons for choosing a particular Bible app. Share yours and let us know what makes your chosen app your go to. Feel free to include details such as: Features you love: What specific features make your chosen app a standout for you? User-friendliness: Is the app easy to navigate and use? Additional resources: Does the app offer supplementary materials like devotionals, commentaries, or study guides? Customization: Can you personalize your experience with themes, reading plans, or other customization options? I'm looking to try a different app so I thought I'd see what you all use
  6. The use of OS comes down to personal preference. Whatever works for you. I'm just here debunk false notions of either OS.
  7. I don't know all that First Baptist is doing to handle this past situation, nor do I need to know. I just hope they are doing everything they can to support the women who were hurt in the past by the previous staff members.
  8. For the first time in a very long time, I find myself respecting First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana. Pastor Wilkerson inherited this mess, and I believe he's handling it the best way he can. In my personal interactions with Pastor Wilkerson, he has consistently been nothing but gracious and humble, a far cry from the previous pastors.

  10. I was saddened to learn of Pastor Clarence Sexton's passing yesterday. He was a beloved figure in the Knoxville community and beyond, serving as the pastor of Temple Baptist Church, and president of Crown College. The family has put out the following statement: Our beloved Pastor’s faith has now become sight. He is in heaven in the arms of his Saviour. Our church family has been wonderful over the last several months by showing your concern for us, praying for us, encouraging us, and expressing your love to us. We respectfully ask that you would give Mrs. Sexton and the family the time they need to process and grieve their loss before you reach out with compassion and understanding. Pastor Sexton loved the families of the church, college, and academy. He could not wait to get back to see everyone, and though we prayed for his healing on earth, God has chosen to provide his healing in heaven. God’s ways are above our ways, and though our hearts are hurting, we choose to believe that God is still good. The family is grateful that he is in heaven with the Lord Jesus Christ where there is no sickness or sorrow. Funeral arrangements will be made in the coming days and we will keep you updated. There is no way that we can adequately express our thanks for your love and prayers at this time. God is with us, and we trust Him to help us in the days to come. -The Sexton Family
  11. I don't work for Google; I'm a freelance developer. I base my opinions on real-life experiences rather than what I hear or read. With both Pixel and Apple devices (I have both), I conduct benchmark tests for each, which is why I was curious about your perspective. I thought you were basing it off of what you found rather than googling your answers. If you Google 'why Android is better than iOS,' you'll get results favoring Android, and vice versa. That's why I prefer running my own tests. iOS has some great features, and it's not a bad OS (though the GUI is another story). However, in comparison, it lags behind in technology (AI for example).
  12. Ever since 5G came out we've been able to switch between 4G and 5G internet. What control features are you referring to?
  13. Please explain to me how Secure Enclave is more secure than stock Android, encryption, and why the iOS App store is more secure?
  14. Please explain. I have found that the security is very similar, but I'd give a slight bid of an edge to stock Android
  15. It is on the ID channel. I have a paid Sling Subscription so I'm watching it on there. BTW, I'm outraged by what these men in authority have done to these young girls
  16. Right now, I'm 5 minutes into the first episode, and boy, they are painting with a very broad brush— lumping every IFB pastor into being like Hyles and Steve Anderson
  17. Take this video for whatever it's worth. Rachel Peach replied the following. If she is correct, this pastor should be ashamed of himself.
  18. I'm still trying to figure out what circle of Baptist I fit in to Since the lines of circles are getting blurry to me, I don't care for labels. Just tell me what you believe
