The Last Night

Last night, a man who I’ve known for quite sometime was killed by a tree falling on him while cutting firewood. Like others I know, he was one who many times had come to our local ministry for financial help, and he never seemed to get out of the poverty trap. Like those others, I… Read More »

Lot’s Wife

The Sunday School teacher was describing how Lot’s wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt, when little Johnny interrupted, “My Mummy looked back once, while she was driving,” he announced triumphantly, “and she turned into a telephone pole!”  

Bossy Preachers

I have a question that is really bothering me. In our church the pastor has his attention on every aspect of the church and has been known to tell some to not come back after problems happen. I belong to an independent, bible believing, fundamental baptist church but was raised in a southern baptist. Things… Read More »

That’s Strange

A lawyer named Strange died, and his friend asked the tombstone maker to inscribe on his tombstone, “Here lies Strange, an honest man, and a lawyer.” The inscriber insisted that such an inscription would be confusing, for passersby would tend to think that three men were buried under the stone. However he suggested an alternative:… Read More »

Church Feud

There was a feud between the Pastor and the Choir Director of The Hicksville Baptist Church. It seems the first hint of trouble came when the Pastor preached on “dedicating yourselves to service” and the Choir Director chose to sing: “I Shall Not Be Moved.” Trying to believe it was a coincidence, the Pastor put… Read More »

Remarriage

Pastor Tim, I am a divorced Christian man who’s remarried. Am I considered an adulterer since I remarried? Will God forgive me for this? I am an Independent Baptist and I love the Lord! I’m thankful for your answer and I appreciate this web site. Keep up the good work and may God bless you.… Read More »
