    Wives, Sisters, and Daughters, Please Speak

    Wow! When you're wrong, you're REALLY wrong! You should check who said what instead of just flying off the handle like that! 😉

    False teachers will receive the greater condemnation

    It's very possible! They're promoting every other kind of perversion, including the sexual mutilation of children! It's sad...

    Wives, Sisters, and Daughters, Please Speak

    Wow...thank GOD that YOU are not GOD. God forgives. God cleans people up and restores them. If you don't believe this, may YOU are part of the problem as well as the rapist. If they're never able to be restored, with restrictions and accountability, and fellowship, then, and I apologize for...

    Wives, Sisters, and Daughters, Please Speak

    I'm never going to let someone just walk back in as a church member without repentance and accountability for the rest of his life. I've seen far too many reinstalled into churches in areas of responsibility, and this should NEVER happen.

    Greg Locke the "new" Billy Graham? Or worse?

    For a while he WAS preaching the Jesus of the Bible. It was about the time he was losing some of the new parishoners that he changed from the "Baptist" moniker to the "Bible" moniker. Friends of ours left the church because of the continued controversies with his wife, money missing, his being...

    False teachers will receive the greater condemnation

    When my wife was in the Vanderbilt Trauma Center from being rear-ended by a foreigner at over 100 mph, we had a "chaplain" from the hospital come in to pray for her and to attempt to give her comfort. The doctors had given my wife less than a 10 percent chance to recover. The chaplain was an...

    Church Pastors Methods sound Familiar?

    My friends in Chattanooga tell me that he's a KOOK! I don't doubt that. He's been the subject of many pastors in our area as they preach against his antics, yet some of them seem to be involved in many of the same things. It's sad to see this. It's a blot on the cause of Christ...yet we know...

    Wives, Sisters, and Daughters, Please Speak

    I agree that Brent Stevens and aleshanee have shown great courage in sharing their stories. My ex-girlfriend, high school sweetheart, was groomed by a youth worker and then also a Christian school teacher. It came down to discovery on my part when it came to the youth worker. She babysat for...

    Wives, Sisters, and Daughters, Please Speak

    WE are to forgive, but that doesn't mean we have to remain in fellowship with the person or persons involved. We forgive because Christ forgave us, and it's clear that if WE don't forgive, then he won't forgive us.

    Wives, Sisters, and Daughters, Please Speak

    Yes sir, it would. ALL these kinds of things should be handled first and foremost at the church level, followed by the legal, etc.

    Greg Locke the "new" Billy Graham? Or worse?

    This doesn't surprise me at all. I was attacked by Mr. Locke several times online because I called out several things I had heard from friends and former churchmates in other churches who had gone to Locke's church when it was still Global Vision BAPTIST Church. I contacted him when I learned of...

    Haven't been here in a while.....

    It's been a while since I've been here, and I'm sorry for that. It's been a long, long couple of years for my wife and I. We have had at least nine family members and friends pass away since 2024. We've lost a sister, father, brother-in-law, nephew, aunt, and uncle just in the last 12 months...

    Dave and Paula's Wedding

    I have to agree...and David still seemed to be connected to a local preacher here in Tennessee, David Baker, who molested one of his own underage children, was arraigned and handed over for trial. The day he was arraigned he went into the restroom of the hospital in this small town where he...

    Wives, Sisters, and Daughters, Please Speak

    This is becoming increasingly common in our churches today, and it's a blot on the name of Christ. When things like this are posted on a public forum for conversation it makes all the worse. Consider the unsaved people who come to this site and try to see what Christianity is. Discussion for...

    Kenny Baldwin

    He doesn't necessarily have to be! I often hear the same arguments in the SBC, Cowboy, and Free Methodist churches. Not all people who try to show a little Christ-like grace to people are IFB. Granted, Kenny Baldwin deserves to be in prison for the rest of his life picaxing stone. But, remember...
