    Capturing a Town For Christ [Evangelism]

    Hey guys, I just finished a book review on what i'd like to call a 'hidden treasure'. It's a book by Jerry Falwell & Elmer Towns that was published in 1972. Almost 20 years before I was even born! It definitely has some really good nuggets of information and a great read for inspiration...

    John the Baptist, will rule for the rest of time (before God).

    Hi there, So we have an account of John the Baptist, that he died upholding the law,, but very few have stopped to think what the Resurrection of the John the Baptist might mean. Elijah is considered one and the same (the same as John), by Jesus and we must expect that the messenger will come...

    How often does your church offer the Lord's Supper? and other related questions

    How often does your church offer the Lord's Supper? On which days of the week? A.M. or P.M? Did they switch the name from Lord's Supper to 'communion?' Have you ever known anyone who showed up just for that due to Jesus' command 'this do in remembrance of me?' Was Jesus directing his words to...

    Finding the way again after college

    Hello, I'm Thomas. I recently started delving into the Word again and going back to church. I've decided on going to a local Baptist church in my town, joining a few Bible study groups and getting to know other like-minded Christians to which we can fellowship. I live in B.C., Canada and I'm 23...

    Does God meet us where we are despite our denomination?

    Ok... so I'm not feeling that great today, so please try to go easy on me? I have a theory. I see so many examples of God's grace in different denominations... godly grandparents and great-grandparents in my own Baptist family, saints I admire in the Catholic and Orthodox churches, learned and...

    Why I'm discontent with my Protestantism

    Happy Easter! He is Risen! :blacksunrays: If you've been following my other musings the past couple days, you probably know a little of what I'm going through... how I'm questioning my Protestant heritage, and struggling with how to read Church history and remain a Protestant.

    Is My Bible Study Group A Cult?

    I am a college freshman. I was approached by a really nice student a few months ago who was conducting a survey about how different Christians interpreted the Bible. She invited me to attend her Bible study, and I did. Their purpose in this Bible study is to not focus as much on what each...

    I went to a Catholic Confessional today

    So in my quest to un-mess everything from my childhood and (God help my) teenage and beyond years, I today took James 5:16 and ran with it. Or, rather, walked with it, it's hot and I'm a large man and I had no money for parking... Basically, I grew up in a Baptist church and am going there...

    Lack of Baptisms at My Church

    While I am a Baptist, the church I attend isn't Baptist per se. It might've been once, but it's more non-denominational than anything. I do believe they are a God-fearing church and are scripturally sound amid a few minor disagreements I have with them. However, there is one major issue that...

    How I Pray

    During those times at church when we are told to close our eyes, bow our heads, etc. during prayer time, I find it easier to keep my eyes open. Don't get me wrong; I still pray. I find it more comfortable to look down at the floor or up at the ceiling or stare off into space during prayer...

    Back from the dead

    Former Baptist minister here. Spent a decade in the wilderness. Much has changed, but God preserved me through it all. I'm here to gain insights, participate in discussions, and to find friends. It's hard to talk to people around me about the spiritual life. Thanks! Jason

    Being "called" into the ministry; and "surrendering" to the ministry

    I know that one does not apply for a church position the same way s/he would apply for a position outside the church; but I am wondering about what the entry point is? As a long-time Baptist, I have heard terminology like being "called" to the ministry, "surrendering" to full-time service, and...
