As I've gotten older I've cared less and less about politics. I still vote, but I haven't openly campaigned for any candidate in years. I just think it is important to remember that there is a higher calling for Christians than politics. To often, in the past, I would make politics more...

Yes, we do a weekly devotional on Sunday nights with the advent candle.

There are a lot of things I disagree with the Catholic church about. One of the difficulties in talking with Catholics is they sometimes use the same words but have different understandings about the meaning of words used. There are to many disagreements to address in a single post. The...

Not my current church but it is part of my heritage. The church I grew up in had "decoration day" every spring. This was a time when families of those buried in the cemetery would come and put flowers on the graves. The church would take up an offering for the upkeep of the cemetery at the...

I've never done anything for my church. We don't tend to have fundraisers. The closest thing we have is a sister church has an advent market in November where vendors sell Crafts and Christmas decorations. Our church provides staff and organization help for the market. The vendors sell at...

What is your commute time to your place of worship? Does the commute time have any bearing on where you attend church?

Nixon resigning. I remember watching it on TV. I was almost 5 years old.

The Church I attend has no stance on the vaccine. And have encouraged members to extend "Christian Charity" toward each other no matter individual stances on the vaccine, mask, and so forth.

I've purchase HP at my place of work. We used to get Dell but we had so many issues with them that we changed brands. One tip I give people is to get the business class laptop/computer instead of the consumer class. I had a HP reseller tell me that the business class models come out around...

White Horse Inn is one of my favorite podcast.

White Horse Inn is one of my favorite podcast.

I wouldn't debate them. The few times JW's tried to talk to me I simply told them that they have altered the New Testament Scriptures to fit their theology. I point out that in John 1:1 the Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Bible all say, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with...

If so, what format/station do you listen to?

The ESV study bible is the best study bible I own. The ESV is a good translation and the study bible is choked full of historical and cultural information of the time when the books were written. I actually think the NASB is a great translation. I use the ESV for study and currently and...

Southern Baptist (Attended until my mid 40's) Missionary/Independent Baptist- Attended several services as a child because the churches in our community supported each other and when one church would have an evangelism or "revival" services most families from other churches would go in support...

Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard, and Drum Set. Occasionally a dobro, mandolin, or violin. We sing "modern hymns". By this I mean our songs have structure instead of repeating the same thing over and over again like it was during the "chorus" phase of worship music in...

The few infant baptisms I've seen, (Presbyterian and Methodist) did just that. The pastor took a few drops of water and rubbed it on the babies forehead. It certainly wasn't pouring. Of course, my experience may not be the norm.

Most historians I've read think it was a late 1st Century writing. However, there are some who date it in the early 2nd Century.

We put the words to readings/sermon text on our screen so many in our congregation have stopped bringing a Bible to our Sunday Gatherings. However, I still turn to the scriptures and read along. Sometimes I just use my Bible app on my phone but most Sunday mornings I bring a leather Bible...

What interest me about this topic is the belief that "doing things the way the early church did" is the only viable way to "have church". When God inspired the New Testament He could have delivered precise instructions on when to take the Lord's Supper, how often and when to meet, how many...
