    Dave Hyles (again)

    Up until 4 years ago, I was a fbch member and went to nearly every service and I have never heard anyone mention anything negative about DH. That doesn't mean they didn't, it is just that I was NEVER aware of any of this.

    Where and when? It may be true but I have absolutely never heard anyone mention this.

    Shawnee Baptist College???

    I heard it was closed a couple of years ago. They have had , like a lot of us, financial problems in the last 7 or 8 years. One of the deacons who is a doctor, suggested that they shut it down several years ago.

    The Arrogance of Pastors

    Over the past few years I have come to detest the evangelism business.

    Paying Your Tithe

    You find out very quickly that when someone preaches on the 'tithe' they really don't want the 'tithe'. They want cash.  The utter nonsense that I heard over the years that came from hac and fbch about this subject is unbelievable. For instance: We were taught that if you were destitute and had...

    The Worthless Thread for Specifically Increasing Post Numbers

    He may have had a good motive or he may just be trying to hobknob with some pastors in order to drum up support for his new ministry. You just never know with this guy.

    Dave Hyles (again)

    I agree with you here twist. At least this pastor O'Niel admitted that there may have been some wrongdoing on Dave's part. That is far more than I have ever heard from any fbc staff members about the situation. Or from Bob Gray or Dave Baker. To paraphrase Huckleberry Finn; In order to get the...

    The influence of the 'new' IFB's.

    You know this is so true! I have been out of ifb churches for about 4 or 5 years but because that is my background I continue to read a lot of their articles, tweets, etc. There seems to be this feeling that if you are not casting stones, sticking needles in peoples eyes, condemning all you are...

    Another One Bites The Dust

    IMO most of the ifb churches we hear about today seem to resemble family run businesses rather than new testament churches. There is a pastor (I think he attended hac) who has a church in Nebraska. Quite small, maybe 40 people. His two sons are his staff members. They are pretty much the only...

    The influence of the 'new' IFB's.

    'The world' and 'worldly' are like the junk drawer we all have in our homes. If there is an item in our home without a particular place it goes in the junk drawer. Whenever there is something that someone else does that we don't like and can't pinpoint why, we call it 'worldly'.
