    Excommunication and Church Discipline

    Greetings, I have been a part of three denominations in my life. In one I have seen pastors with a gluttony for church discipline and potential excommunication over the pettiest of issues (ones that do not warrant discipline or excommunication going off of any Biblical theology, at least from...

    Bleach - "Heartbeat" (90s Power-Pop)

    Figured I'd see if anyone is familiar with this one. Has a Weezery 90s power-pop vibe, but these fellas were a Christian rock band.

    Our Daily Bread University

    Greetings friends, I have recently discovered Our Daily Bread University. It reminds me of CourseRa and EdX in that it offers MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) for free or low cost, but it is for theology and other related topics (e.g. Christian leadership, apologetics). ODBU is not a...

    The Meeting House Church

    Does anyone here have experience with The Meeting House Church? There's one of these near where I live. According to my light 'research' (I admit: Wikipedia!), it's based in Anabaptist tradition, and part of a denomination called Brethren in Christ. It's advertised as being a church for people...

    Thousand Foot Krutch

    Evan McMullin (Independent Candidate for President)

    Since there wasn't a thread on the candidacy of Evan McMullin (I searched for 'McMullin' and didn't see one, anyway. If I overlooked one, please let me know), I thought I would create one to see if anybody has any particular perspectives/opinions of his campaign. He is currently scheduled to be...
