Re: The Great Dechurching

In my early years in Pentecostalism and Evangelical Baptism, there was expected dramatic new beginnings in people's lives immediately. It wasn't a matter of saying the sinner's prayer, soon get baptised and join the church and yet not really having a new life in relationship with God. And some will...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Solid post JAHertz, but reading through the Sword and Trumpet correspondence I think both parties could be seen as committing the error you describe, mechanising theology to reconcile tensions in the scriptures that might be best left as tensions. Tension holds up buildings and bridges, it has it's...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

I have no interest in repeating hours of research and writing here. The discussion with Mr. Miloni is well documented in Sword and Trumpet. I stand by what my associates and I wrote. If you are interested, read it there. I put many hours in that, and my position is clear. For those who may not have...

And that can be provided by high-tech Anabaptists, right?

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

(Note: For several years under Dean Taylor's presidency, Sattler College's recruiting did focus, rightly or wrongly, almost exclusively on Anabaptist students. This difference of focus from the intent of the founder was one—though far from the only—contributing factor to the turmoil at the school t...

Re: They call it a NEV -- a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle

A Polish man was riding a bicycle with his son in Sweden and got shot to death. His young son had to call the police. Many people will choose to drive cars instead for safety if they have to fear being shot or stabbed if they try to bike or walk. https://images.app.goo.gl/LHbnpv3tTDhoogp6A Tanks fo...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

So how do universities rise in the rankings? By attracting students with higher test scores. And price is the easiest way for them to do that. Merit scholarships are simply a way that universities use to lower the price for the most qualified applicants to convince them to choose their school over ...

Re: They call it a NEV -- a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle

Does that mean you are going to buy one? Or is still an impractical and expensive toy even in your town? It's not practical for me, since most of my destinations are either within walking distance or outside the range of one of these. But there seem to be enough people with different travel pattern...
