    multiple site churches

    There are site pastors at each locations, but your right that there is no way the main pastor can know much less minister to each member. I'm not sure why those site pastors can't just preach the sermon. I'm sure in some ways they are following some type of church growth model that someone has...

    multiple site churches

    What do you think of this trend of churches have multiple sites? I know of one church in our area that has sites in four locations. When it comes time for the sermon they will show the main pastor who is on a big screen preaching at the main location. Otherwise, the other sites might have...

    friendship with the world

    I believe that phrase is in my opening post. And it doesn't take away from what Tango said earlier about how many believers at least appear to be very similar to those in the world and of the world. I am struggling to understand in practical ways what it means to have friendship with the...

    friendship with the world

    I think it is not only hard to tell where someone else's heart is, but we have an amazing capacity to deceive ourselves. I think about the passage in the Bible that talks about the sheep and the goats being separated. Those who were cast away asked when they did not help by doing things like...

    friendship with the world

    4 "You adulterous people,don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us...

    Importance of observing Communion

    I want to mention why communion is important to me as a person who has a history in the Baptist tradition. I think it has to do with the fact that the cross and resurrection are the key cornerstones of our faith. Without it the gospel simply isn't the gospel. Jesus mentioned in the gospel of...

    Importance of observing Communion

    I wasn't referring to you when I mentioned whining. I do agree with you when you talk about the individualism of today and the danger of interpreting things in a vacuum without considering other believers point of view. I think we see some of that in this forum where individuals simply study at...

    Importance of observing Communion

    I'm sorry I saw a false statement and called attention to it by asking for scripture which the scripture that was provided didn't prove anything. And instead of giving me scripture that actually proves the point I get whining. Acts 2:46 says that the early believers of the church met in each...

    Importance of observing Communion

    none of those verses really proves anything. Just pointing to church history doesn't really mean much to me. The church has a lot of horrific things in its history such as indulgences and other nonsense.

    Importance of observing Communion

    I did communion with a lady one time while she was staying in the mental health ward of the hospital I was a chaplain at. I had never seen her before or since. Yet, when I gave her the elements she seemed to take the whole thing much more seriously than most people I have seen in church. I...

    At the Potter's House

    18 "This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” 3 So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. 4 But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed...

    Jesus intercedes for us

    23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them...
