I think it might be worthy to note again that the jury did not need to determine whether Trump is getting fair treatment as compared with others who do similar crimes. All they needed to do was determine innocent or guilty. The same will be true with Hunter Biden. I'm curious though whether there ar...

Beachy's and some other CA churches encourage youth to a make a commitment at age 12-14, but let them start following Jesus for awhile before going through instructio...

I am not convinced that the Mennonite church as a whole gained more from the revivalist movement than they lost. Melvin Lehman talks about the spiritual mediocrity that was prevalent in Chambersburg in his youth. Some people began praying that God would send a man who could arouse them from their l...

When I went to an Ohio Conference/MC USA (now FEC) church back in the early 2010s, I never heard anything about revival meetings. I think they were extinct by that point. According to a history written of Anabaptists in the area, they were in full swing in the 1950s, tents and all. The reluctant on...
