I don't know this man, but he blocked a friend for asking questions. Why did this young girl have to wait for weeks to be saved? Why did it have to be this man and not a woman member of the church? Why did she have to go to his office? Was there a parent present in the office? The pic looks a...

Asking for a friend. Is there a good way to reach younger families today without reverting to worship teams, performing plays and addressing social issues? It's a good church with a long history, but the economy took a lot of members away for job relocation and most of the remnant are older...

Anyone heard a sermon about not being drunk on Xanax, or similar medications?

I jokingly said David Hyles was looking for partners, but it seems to be true. Hear for yourself.

A while back, I shared one of many reasons I left IFB Dom years ago. In summary, a well known preacher told a Sword conference crowd that he was informed (by phone) that a Sunday School teacher was drinking alcohol. The preacher did not visit this teacher, but just called him and told him he was...

I am not in the mainstream of IFB- dom as I used to be, but aside from dealing with my own church issues, I have heard of 3 cases of pastors stealing sermons that others preached. This has occurred in the last week, involving 3 different pastors from 3 different denominations (IFB, SBC...

I am posting in the fighting forum as most of my contributions have been here, but I am looking for some honest counsel. In 1984 I moved to a new state to take a job. I did not know anyone in the area, but found a church started by a friend that was not too far away. For 8 years I was very...

If you get a doctorate from a school that you start, is it.legit or just for your ego? More from Bob Gray Sr.

Let me get this straight. You believe in an Omniscient, Omnipresent and Omnipotent God and yet you think you can determine how much of His divinity He set aside when He walked the earth (that He created) in human incarnation...

Below is a quote during a sermon to a Sunday morning congregation. The preacher is referring to a missionary in his family and thought this was funny. I am not identifying anyone or any place, nor will I link the sermon, but this is a transcript word for word. Suffice it to say that the...

Can someone direct me to a source that provides mental health/spiritual counseling for pastors. Someone I know is close to a mental breakdown. Thank you.

During the month of May, I heard two separate preachers from two separate ministries decry confidence and self-confidence from their respective pulpits. The first said that he did not trust people who are self-confident. The second claimed that he did not like people working for him who were...

With the current news of SBC cover up of sexual abuses, recent news of Jack Schaap release and memories of the abuses by David Hyles, I have to wonder where were the fathers of these teen girls who were abused? I mean, if the church leadership refused to address the abuse, a little privare one...

A friend called me today to ask my opinion. An evangelist was at his church and publicly presented the pastor with a challenge coin and he wasn't sure what to make of it. He is familiar with the challenge coins of the military and other branches of service and that when one is given, it is...

So what do you do with a pastor, who has told his congregation to not judge him based on their bad experiences with previous pastors, but continually repeats how he and his family were abused by a previous church in a "poor me" tone. My thought is that if the congregation is to not judge the...

I have discovered that the greatest freedom a modern American Christian can discover is that a pastor is not essential to their relationship with Christ. I believe we still need Christian friends, those that are willing to discuss Bible issues as they relate to daily living, etc. , to pray with...

I am looking to find a good gospel tract that can be inserted with my bill payments, left at restaurants with tip, etc. Any recommendations will be appreciated. Thank you
