    John MacArthur’s successor chosen.

    What I like about this choice is that it comes from within the church. He will not be a hireling; he grew and developed under Grace Community and is therefore uniquely qualified to continue the work.

    Congratulations. August, (I'm assuming) North Carolina... Those polyester suits in the background had to have been miserable. You look comfortable, though.

    This really saddens and almost sickens me.

    I seem to remember a similar story unfolding a couple years ago on this forum.

    Locking Out Latecomers

    I'll say this: we just started going through 1John and after two sermons, this is about one of the finest treatments of the book I've heard.

    Locking Out Latecomers

    If they even listen... I'm not sure how much of the teaching that goes on gets in. Ever have folks show up regularly more out of habit than a genuine interest in what is going on? Yeah, it's one of those things here.

    Locking Out Latecomers

    Good input. I get it. Folks run late for various legitimate reasons and should not be penalized for such. As you all can guess, this comes from a situation that is ongoing in the church I attend... Services start at 10 sharp. We open with a scripture, then a song. After which, we have a five...

    Let's talk about the word "standards"

    Remember an action movie from 2000, Behind Enemy Lines? I saw it on big screen. Having sailed on an aircraft carrier, I kept calling [balderdash] because it was so dumb and so improbable. I kinda upset the folks who were sitting in front of me with my ample commentary.

    Let's talk about the word "standards"

    I don't go to movies. Mainly because I have been burned too many times. I paid money and the movie was terrible. Does this make me holy in the eyes of some? Sitting through a movie is just not my thing. Someone asks, "Do you want to watch a movie?" I reply, "I'm not into watching movies." They...

    Let's talk about the word "standards"

    If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations: “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”? These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. Such...

    The joke when I was in the South was when the rapture happens, everyone goes to Atlanta then up.

    If God put Gary Larson in charge of hell...

    Not to mention having to clean your glasses more often... Plus, you'd begin to truly appreciate Binaca.

    Not funny but true memes.

    Strange. I thought a progressive group such as the WNBA would be welcoming trannies with open arms.
