This week started off rough! On Sunday my pharmacy wouldn't fill my prescription unless I gave them $275! It's normally $35. Come to find out, on Monday, that I have reached my maximum for the year and I have to pay for the rest of my prescriptions for the year. My monthly bill is $724...

It's good to be attentive to things that are ungodly. But I wouldn't let this take up my time, unless you feel a calling to speak against it and work against it. The issue isn't the Masons, if they're evil (or any other group for that matter). The issue is lost people who do not have a...

Wow, you've gotten some godly counsel here. Can I suggest a book that changed my life on this issue. I was an Associate Pastor and lived with doubt for years, so i't not uncommon. People would come to me and tell me basically the same thing you just did. Dr. John MacArthur has a book...

The reason for the name change is that the convention is in the northeastern US, the pacific northwest, Canada, Central and South America, and around the world. It doesn't make sense to refer to ourselves as "Southern" Baptists. A name change fits who the convention is trying to reach, which...

Congratulations on four years of sobriety! What a blessing. I used to be a substance abuse counselor, and I know the people I worked with talked about how hard of an accomplishment it is to get sober. God bless you!

I've never been to your country. I know in America, most Baptist churches (SBC) don't concern themselves in whether a woman wears pants or a dress. Independent Baptists often have concern over this. I know of no Baptist churches here that require scarves or hats. In our culture, many people...

Space exploration and military exploration sometimes are helpful to each other. However, I agree that the USA is broke. We need to watch our money closer. I'm not for space exploration at the present time due to the national debt.

I don't care to take sides on this issue for the purpose of taking sides. But the Abrahamic covenant says God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. That's good enough for me.

Father, thank you for sending your son to die for me. Jesus thank you for taking my sin upon yourself and dying for them. I can never repay you. It's impossible. All I can do is love you, and tell others about you. Please help me to do this.

I worked as an alcohol and drug counselor for a while. I had a different experience. It seemed to me ages 11-13 were when most people I counseled started experimenting with drugs. I don't think there's a specific number related to it, though.

I think God is concerned about the condition of your heart, not your hair. Paul, I think, was addressing a specific issue going on in that church. I don't think he was saying that women need long hair in order to be submissive. I'm sure others will disagree. But the Bible says that if you...

For years I repeatedly asked God to forgive me. I never "felt" saved. But when I came to realize that when I was a nine year old boy and asked Jesus to forgive me then and surrendered my life to Christ, that I was saved then. Salvation is not about a feeling. Sometimes I still don't feel...

Too many questions to answer in one post. I'm confused (which it isn't hard to confuse me, though).

A pastor I'm familiar with said he has stopped looking for the signs and has started listening for the trumpets. I love your research and article here. It's very enlightening and helpful. What is the church doing to prepare for the rapture? Are we reaching out to the lost? I'm afraid we are...

Our church does not do a good job with those who are attending but not yet joined. We have Life Groups that we encourage everyone to attend, partner (what my church calls members) or not. In those Life Groups people are discipled and taught the Scriptures. But there is no paper trail or...

We are saved by grace through faith. But it is in God's grace that He places the faith within us to trust in His Son Jesus. It's incredible! Some accuse me of teaching a cheap grace, but if it wasn't cheap, none of us could afford it!

The Liberty Baptist Fellowship supplies a free education to anyone who is a full-time staff member of a Baptist church. The church pays $150.00 per month in your name, and you get all tuition and fees paid for with no strings attached. You just have to buy your books. You can get an entire...

Love to Jesus is everything! The Bible says that God is love. It's not just that He loves... it's that He is love! The question is, how do we love God? The answer according to 1 John 1 is through obedience. It says if we love God we will do what He says (not my words, read 1 John 1 for...

Malachi 3.10 says, "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the...

The Bible says, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might." I say go to college and be the best student you can be. Don't shun an education, embrace it!
