Re: Culture or Faith?

I just read that article this morning over my blueberry bread toast an coffee. My take is that the foundations for the author's discussion of cultural practices is the biblical concepts of non-conformity to, and separation from, the "world." Could it be that different groups will have diff...

Re: What's a deal-breaker for you?

Again, lots of great replies. My wife and I were members of a very conservative brethren group that will remain unnamed (as I still have an immense respect for them). The one minister/elder... no matter the subject title.... no matter the scripture.... his sermon would always end up preaching again...

Re: Moving Cross Country (roughly 900 or so miles)

What brings you to New England/NH? Do you have a church in mind there? I agree, 81 through Scranton and Wilkes Barre is not fun. 287 around NY is good, and you can save a few miles by going from 80 to Garden State (toll) to 287. 95 in Conn is bad news in the summer 24-7.
