Re: Favorite Feature

With the old quote & thumbs up system, you could see who appreciated it. I kinda liked that. But I like the heart system better. I just wish you could see who "hearted" it. No big deal, I just found it interesting. Go to User Control Panel, Board Preferences tab, Edit notification opt...

Re: Bible Study References

That is not Ernie's fellowship, and some of their messages deviate quite far from what I consider Anabaptism and conservative Mennonite thinking. Josh, this your opinion only. Please refrain from criticizing others' fellowship messages. As many have reminded you, your generalized statements are far...

Re: Asking for Church Membership??

2. How long should a new believer be discipled before baptism? (For those who link baptism with membership, this is part of the OP question) You mean like they did something wrong and are being punished? Not sure I understand the question. OJ said discipled , you are maybe thinking disciplined ? Di...

Re: Bible Study References

I am a slow reader so Matthew Henry's Commentary is very daunting but yet there is some clarity in it that I have not heard before that is rather helpful. I find it hard to focus enough to follow Matthew Henry, partly because of the 300-year-old language. There's a new edition that might help with ...

Re: Favorite Feature

Sometimes, it can feel a little lonely manning your post 8-) against a couple dissenters who are very adamant, and perhaps more articulate. And sometimes you may wonder if the whole world thinks you are crazy. I generally figure they do, and I am. But I've been blessed on a few of those occasions t...

Re: Asking for Church Membership??

We've been discussing this IRL and the consensus seem to be that 6 months is about the normal time frame. Situations vary, of course, but it probably takes about that long to figure out what makes the congregation tick and whether you are ready to commit yourself to being part of it. Other questions...

Re: Gadgets - Home+Garden

I have an acquaintance in Canada that used that stuff on his deck and the very next season had to strip it all off as it was cracking, chipping and peeling. He was not a happy camper. (pun intended Max) Also this product has an ideal window of temps for application: too hot or too cool is not going...

Re: Music - Passera', passera' ..

oj, what would you do with the voices in this quartet, if they appeared on your doorstep and wanted to join in song? I have Bill Gaither on speed dial, just in case. 8-) I'd invite them in for coffee, of course, ask them to sing this song a cappella, have a chat about the lyrics, and find out what ...
