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...

Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past
Therefore, it is not worth taking steps to mitigate a risk that is almost solely due to promiscuity. As far as girls marrying a guy with a promiscuous past… many (I’d say the majority) of girls in my church circles would be unwilling to do so. An interesting statement made by Josh caught my eye.

Re: Toronto area
Going to Toronto area a week from now. Any plain churches to recommend? Enos and Carolyn Miller at Tea-n-Bannock Restaurant used to meet in their restaurant for church. I’ve never been, but I can guarantee that time spent with Enos is fascinating! Does anyone know the name of this church? You may n...
