It still bothers me! Priorities you know.

After years and years posting all of my pet peeves, do you mind another one? I detest, I destest, I detest, with a passion with all of the crime and lawlessness of this area (NW Indiana, Gary, Hammond, East Chicago) murders, drugs, shooting etc. I detest that the US government will give grants...

I am not a businessman that travels a lot but have been able to fly quite a bit. When you are on a long flight you kind of try to look down and see something familiar because you know you will soon be home. Two years and one month ago I asked for prayer because my dad was supposed to die. He...

Okay, after so many of you hearing of all my proclivities and wierdness and pet peeves, here is another. Why or why with all the crime, murder, drugs, DUI's, etc. will local police departments decide to focus ticketing people who are not wearing seat belts? You come over a hill and there are...

I am absolutely sure this has to be one of the hardest areas for pastors to decipher. There is an entire culture who use churches good-will as an extra welfare source. We have a harvest market and every week there are people who come just to receive bags of food. Along with this, there are...

I have never heard Garraway preach and am not thrilled with his associations but reading his facebook posts and twitter feeds leads me to think he is a stand-up kind of guy. He does not have the arrogance and bravado that are so much a part of the ifb evangelists I see.

I agree with BG here but even if both the church and the missionary believe in tithing; Is it a tithe if it is taken at gunpoint by force? I heard of as small business in this area that applied for some type of loan that they didn't get and they decided that it was because some of their...

I just listened to Donny Swaggart for a little while yesterday. He was talking about money and talked very sarcastically (he would be a good baptist) about people who will come through their church and talk about trusting the Lord and then drop hints that they need money. He said, "If you do...

Just looking through some twitter feeds and I guess I never realized before how wicked Good Friday was and anyone who observes Good Friday is playing with tools from the devils toolbox. (I know most of you don't believe this either but...)

Must have been Star Plaza Theatre.

You have probably been hanging around with Reeves too long! ;D

I can help you to understand here. I know you were not raised in extreme ifb ism. The thing is , you have to be against a lot of stuff that other Christians are doing or you are not right with God. So, the thing to do and especially if you can't put your finger on something is to throw it in the...

This is sad but kind of funny. I read quite a few of the ifb bretheren's facebook pages and twitter feeds. Some think it is great. Others say it is sensual and worldly with worldly music yadda yadda yadda. Which is why there NEVER will be a true national revival. Most won't recognize it or...

It is always nice to go somewhere and have someone you never met strike up a conversation and start witnessing to you! About two years ago, I had a lady who was a Presbyterian do this as I was doing some work in her house. Had a guy I was sitting next to at a July 4th parade a couple of years...

For those of you who do not keep up with hac goings on: They are having an alumni banquet at the former Northland Baptist Bible college campus in Dunbar, WI. When Northland shut down this property was sold to a group who use it for retreats and meetings, etc. Now, when you think of the...

But, since this is the thread about nothing inparticular and since you are a pastor, here are a couple of things that people in your congregation are thinking. The key FM is also advertising the upcoming National day of Prayer on the square in Crown Point, IN. I do not know if they are...

I am afraid this is true. But, it is also what we were taught at hac even though a lot of the evangelists did not go there. Every ministry meeting started out with 'I had this many saved and this many in the water.'

No, I am not upset at all. I think Rogers is a great preacher and teacher. I would to be able to hear John Mac on a program and I really like Erwin Lutzer from Moody. To me it is a matter of why. I never understood why somebody will go to a town and start a baptist church when there are already...

This is one theme that drives me up the wall. Here is one reason. Most of these 'old paths' preachers love to quote Spurgeon and use him as an illustration, right? We have not laboured to excite carnal passions, nor to preach sermons with a view of driving you into religious fevers. Sturdy old...

I would like to return to the Old Paths also. Back to the days when the big ifb evangelists did not constantly post pictures of themselves on Twitter with their altar calls and pictures with their converts and pictures with someone who 'raised the white flag' under his ministry.
