Frank Garlock passed away Friday. I have a great deal of respect for him; I went to one of his music seminars for teens, and God really used him to do a work in my heart. I also have sympathy for his daughter Shelly, who is having to watch her husband deteriorate, and had to additionally deal...

Many people here have much wider sources of information. I've used e-sword for many years and appreciate its author, Rick Meyers. I've supported him in our abundant times. However, the last update was 2021 - he used to put out an update once or twice a year, and I'm concerned if he is okay...

I was surprised that I didn't see this article here. Apparently, some youth attending the NVBC Youth Conference this year posted commented on social media about the PreacherBoys podcast (? - not sure that I have all of this right). However, he was expelled from the Youth Conference and told not...

Hi... it's not really a welcome as a new user, but I've been gone a little over five months. It's been an interesting time: I was concerned about my job and COVID... we were not set up to work from home. I had thought we were just about to get back to normal when... behold! no more paycheck...

While I'm having to stay at home, I'm cleaning out some old stuff and found a very old message. We no longer go to the church, and I'm not even sure if the man who preached it is still there. But it's giving me the creeps, and I thought I'd post some of the quotes. The point of message was how...

So, a friend of mine who knows that I like to listen to messages, sent me a link to one where the guy was preaching about The Three Little Pigs. He defined "straw Christians" as some kind of lazy, slacker, Christians as follows: The structure of their Christian life is a "weak facade" Nothing...

I was listening to a message, and I was brought up a bit short by the following quote - wanted to get opinions here. The speaker was holding a KJV Bible: This has come directly from the very mouth of God, and in all reality, the very Bible that you hold in your hands; it is the written form of...

So, the posts in the OBC category about the issues at Open Door and that other church (Parkside) made me start thinking, and maybe it would be productive to ask the group: 1) Should the victim's family stay at the church where the problem happened?  My opinion: so often, there is a cover-up...

Under the latest Firefox, I'm not seeing the pull-down menus working at all. Is there some browser setting that will fix this? Or has something broken.

A  friend of mine goes to another church; his daughter is a little older than mine. During her junior year at a Bible College, she met a senior and they hit it off and began dating.  He graduated and started working on staff of a church (pastored by her uncle, but I don't know if that is...

Was listening to a pastor who said that they REQUIRED all of their missionaries to support missions and to tithe. The church takes all the funds that come in, deducts the missionary's tithe and mission support, and then sends on the rest. I was appalled at this.  When I give to missions, I...

So, what's Tim Trieber up to? Was listening in on the Pastor & Worker's conference, and learned that he has left there and is working elsewhere.

So, I was having lunch with a friend today... he (rather bemusedly) told me a tale of reading a facebook post in which someone was ranting over how some church vote was known to people who had left the church before even absent members had heard the results.  He was amazed at the comments to the...

I've been reading Tom Brennan's book, and I thought it may be instructive to start a discussion about some of the issues that the book brings up. As much as I wanted to dive into the "What's Wrong" section of the book (part 2), I forced myself to go through part 1. I'll need to get the book to...

With the post before this, I finally hit 1.000 posts per day! For me, it took an effort. I'm working at trying to make at least 2 posts each day.

I've spent a lot of time under heavily manipulative "preachers" (or "evangelists"), and I have very little tolerance for any "preacher" than relies on manipulation to get results.  Having said that... A friend came over a few days ago, and we took a walk to have a "talk" - he told me that, last...

I haven't seen a topic about this, so I thought I would start one. Should a Christian participate in Go Fund Me?  Should be fund people on there, if he so wishes?  Should he post his own needs there? I've been seeing more self-declaring IFB friends and colleagues post various requests for...

I saw this post on someone's FB page. I will state upfront that I don't agree with his advice. Social media accounts are not causing the problem; they are revealing an existing problem in the teens. Oh, and that verse from Proverbs is misapplied; by the poster's reasoning, no one should...

When I go to "fundamentalforums,org" after I start my browser, I get a re-direct error (I assume attempting to point me to "www.fundamentalforums.org". The next time it happens, I'll either reply or edit this post to show the error message I get. Once I'm here, the re-direct seems to work -...

Heard that OBC did not open this fall... can anyone confirm that?
