1Timothy115

Alan has been a blessing to me on many occasions in the past and recently as well, both privately and publicly. His insight will be missed but, the Lord has need of Him.

Here is the website for purchase. Unless you know someone who bought them I think you'll have to purchase them.

If you get a chance and have some money you can spare these films are pretty goo too. My pastor reviewed it and had only a single criticism...I'll leave it at that.

We had some of our own go on deputation in the past and they had to go the extra mile explaining we're not a non-denominational local church. One said she thought it might have cost her some support but we can't know those things for sure. We had changed our sign out front to reflect we were and Independent Baptist some years back but retained the Decatur Chapel on it. It will help folks in the the area know where we stand, to some degree. We're having a new website built too, when it's finished I'll share with you all.

Did you ever wonder if Adam got to see some of the original creation as God was finishing it up? 15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the LORD God f

Has anyone watched these? I thought it was interesting how the downed trees in Spirit Lake below Mt. St. Helens are sinking by the roots first and making an underwater forest which will not long hence become petrified...like the petrified forrest in Arizona. It doesn't take millions of years.

My local church is changing it's name from Decatur Chapel (Happy may remember us by that) to Decatur Baptist. We're still adhereing to the IFB tenets, instead of moving away from them. Probably wouldn't set well with the liberal leaning crowd for us to be going the other way.

Our Pastor is doing Job a chapter every week on Wednesday evenings.

I dislike the possible origin of this day and the continuing commercialism as much as anyone else. For many here Easter is a name, its just a name. We need to be concerned with eternity, not the name of a day. A lot of lost people, including the 2-day a year religionists, will attend an Easter service. Hopefully they will hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ on that morning, they will probably not attend a second service that day. It is doubtful they will hear the truth any other time or place either. So call it what they will, we need to seize another opportunity to share and preach the Gosp

It was the Jews who wanted Christ off the cross... The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. [John 19:31]

Regarding science's explanations, this is not original but I don't recall from whom or from where I found it...

What about the moral aspect of mankind? How did morality develop in Darwin's theory of natural selection?

I enjoy the debunking of these THEORIES by people seeking to supplant God's truth for their own misguided self-indulgence.

Does anyone else enjoy this besides me? Miller-Urey 1953 "But the Miller-Urey experiment, important as it was, had a flaw. Urey had based his primitive-Earth atmosphere on astronomical data just then coming in, the first spectra from the giant planets in our Solar System: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These characteristic bands of color showed that the giants were swathed in atmospheres rich in methane and ammonia, thought to be left over from the planets' formation. The catch is that oxygen, although an absolute necessity for multicellular, advanced life, is poison to pre-b
