Question re: returning to Baptist Church

[JesusFreak877]

Our church has audio sermons on-line too.

www.northsidebaptist.on.ca there's a button along the top banner "Sermons"

Thanks BT! That looks like a great site - this will help me when I can't get to church.

God bless,

And along with Lolards suggestion, our church has sermons online.

Thank's @@Paul@@ This is very helpful.

I will rep Lollard (and you!) for both of us!

God bless,

It takes all kinds to make up the kingdom. I would suggest that if he is an intellectual to give him mere Christianity by CS Lewis. This guy came kicking and screaming into the kingdom. If not then I would have him read either: "Growing in faith (a guide for the reluctant Christian)", "inside out", or "what is so amazing about grace". Any of these books are not over loaded with scriptures to the extent that they are actually the Bible broken into different pieces. When i say have them read them I mean buy them as a gift or something.

If not for him read them for yourself that way you can give answer for any question he may have like for the erroneous "history" channel.

Just tips from one believer to another, and out of Christian love. Hope that helps and thanks for the prayers!

Thanks Lollard, I've always wanted to read Mere Christianity and think those books are great ideas.

Hello everyone - I've been praying about my church situation - or lack of a church to go to and I feel led in my spirit to return to a small independent Baptist Church which have not been to in a while. Illness and other circumstances led me out of the Baptist Church after I left the Catholic church so now I list myself as non-denominational until I sort out where to go for church. I've been studying the threads in this forum about what Baptists believe and it seems like the independent Baptist Church is a good church for me - my only hesitation is that I feel I feel guilty for not being more of a supporter of this church and for dropping out on them. Well, yesterday, like an answer to prayer, I received from them a bulletin/invitation to come to church, so I guess they are welcoming me to come if I decide to.

So I basically have decided to go this weekend and take it one day at a time with church and not to go overboard as I have done in the past (leading to burnout).

I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts and if my beliefs line up with this church, does that make me a Baptist rather than a non-denominationalist? I was hesitating whether to pick a Baptist Icon when I joined the forum since I've been away from the church but I guess not in my beliefs. I also have been watching Charles Stanley at First Baptist Church in Atlanta when I can't physically go to church.

Thanks for any thoughts or prayers!

God bless,

Could I recommend you try attending your local Gospel Hall:

Churches are very welcoming; you should go to the one that seems to fit with you best. But once you find one, try to stick with it.

I think you should definitely use the Baptist icon if you will be attending a Baptist church regularly and have Baptist beliefs.

Thanks AV1611! I will look into that! At this point, I have pretty much decided to return to my home independent Baptist church next week since my husband had plans for me tonight and I can't go today. Thank you for the info!

Hello Glorianna

I appreciate your advice, I did change my icon to Baptist and until I can get to my local Baptist church next week, I have been watching Charles Stanley's sermon and listening to church sermons on the internet which some here have sent me (great links!) in previous posts on this thread.

Thanks to everyone for your encouragement! I am returning to my church next weekend, and possibly prayer meeting this week, the Lord willing!

God bless,
