    Compulsory church attendance for kids/dependent teens.

    One of our five children struggled with this when he was about 16.  He also wanted to drop out of school and just work a job. The approach we took was to remind him that school attendance was  compulsory at this stage in his life.  If he chose to drop out of school, he would also have to find...

    Wycliffe Translators and Associates

    I personally contacted Wycliffe in 2012 when the above mentioned story was reported with the following question on their website's contact form: "There is an article at http://www.wnd.com/2012/01/new-bible-yanks-father-jesus-as-son-of-god/ which claims that Wycliffe is part of a project that is...

    Biblical Discipline:Things That Make You Go "What The .....?"

    As a pastor who also is a foster provider, my perspective is that they were dead wrong.  The "lesson" that boy most likely learned from that camp experience is that "Christians" are just as abusive as the bad situation he came out of... the only difference is their abuse is dressed up in...

    Low Income Students Now a Majority

    * Parents should take on the responsibility of feeding their own children.  That is not the job of the government. * Because we did not enroll in the programs, they sent home numerous forms encouraging us to enroll, then followed up with phone calls from the administration office at both the...

    Low Income Students Now a Majority

    For years we were pressured to apply for the Free/Reduced Lunch program for our kids, which we didn't do.  A couple of years ago, we discovered that the school enrolled us without our knowledge, and it was nearly impossible to be taken off the list. This past year, the school automatically...

    Does Anybody Remember When The "Killer Bees"(Including Tom Brennan)...

    So... back to the OP (which seems to have gotten lost in 8 pages of attacking one another and their children). In answer to the question, I remember some questioning Bass why she didn't use a "real" publisher, but I don't really remember who led the pack.  Tom has answered the charge that he...

    FFF Member Tom Brennan's Book - The Greatest Sermon Ever Preached

    I just finished reading Tom Brennan's book, The Greatest Sermon Ever Preached, and I was fed and challenged by it.  In my library, I have several works on the Sermon on the Mount, and quite frankly, I have not been too impressed with most of them, primarily because most authors take one of two...

    Cancelling church

    I guess we cancel services because of weather about once every two or three years when ice makes it unsafe to travel.  If we get a lot of snow, but roads are still passable, we put out a message on media, website, etc, and have teachers call their class members to say to use their own discretion...

    Questions you would ask Missionaries

    I think I would contact the missionaries before I left on the trip and ask them what I could do to be a help to them and a blessing to their ministry during my visit.  I would make it clear that I do not view this as a vacation, but that I want to minister to them.  It may be that the missionary...

    Photo of Hyles/Schaap

    Sadly, I have one of Jack Hyles on one side, me in the middle and Bob Gray (JAX) on the other side.  (It's in a drawer in my desk... but when I was 25 and proud to be associated with them, it was on the wall.)

    Awake America

    Is there any documentation available about sexual impropriety?  He has been to our church and will probably be back again next year.  I would definitely like to know if this is true or not.

    The “Son of God” Movie Is NOT What We Think–Do You Know The Voice of Your Master

    I confess that I live in somewhat of a "bubble" regarding popular culture and the Christian version of it.  Because I don't listen to the contemporary religious radio stations in my area, I had not heard any buzz about the film "Son of God" before yesterday. Are you planning to go and watch...

    Jack Schapp books

    As a graduate of TBC (JAX) who had my marriage performed by Pastor Gray and was ordained by him, I deeply feel the hurt and shame from being deceived into believing he was a hero of the faith.  These many years after that scandal came to light, I still find myself filtering any public statement...

    Stupidest fundy argument ever

    The week following JFK's 1961 announcement that America would be "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth" by the end of the decade of the 1960's, the pastor my dad was working for preached an entire sermon on why God would never allow man to go to the moon. (Harvey...
