What an awesome weekend at "Survive". We had 20 youth attend the conference, some of which are not presently involved in church anywhere. My hope is that they will find FBC is a great place to plug in and learn more about Christ. There were over 9,000 youth in attendance and during the outreach experience they collected over 25 tons of food for Sunshine Ministries in St. Louis. Our group

It's pretty obvious that baptism is a pretty big deal for Baptists. Baptism in the early church was done by immersion. In the New Testament, the word for "baptize" literally means "to immerse." Somewhere along the lines of church history, the Catholic church dominated Christendom, and the Catholics believed in infant baptism. In the 1500s when people began to resist the Catholic church in the

I know the last post was a long one, but I was meditating on Ephesians 4, and decided to simplify it all. "Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

OK, this is a really long one, but there's a lot of crucial stuff in here. AND I'm more mentally sane since the last post. (I already hear some of you, "Keyword: more.") SO...hopefully this will all make sense. NOW... We've all been taught that the church isn't a building, but the people who gather there. The thing is: is that all a church is? When five new believers begin to have Bible

OK guys, this is a weighty topic. Get ready to either ignore the following, or choke on it. Mercy is when you don't get something that you do deserve, grace is when you get something that you don't deserve. We've all heard it before, and we know that mercy is when God looks on us and forgives us of our sins. But what's grace? In the song, "Amazing Grace" we're told what it does, but we don't

Greetings from Virginia! I wanted to tell you guys that are just dying for more theology that I'll be updating the "What do Baptists Believe..." sometime, I just don't know when. There is a lot of coursework I am doing right now, so they'll probably be thrown in here and there. Do know that I'm thinking about all of you and praying for you!

"I was saved when...""I was born again...""I made Jesus my Lord and Savior...""I accepted Jesus into my heart..."How many of us have made statements like the above? I have made them several times, and to an extent, Lady Hamlet was correct when she observed, "Words, words, words!" A lot of times we talk about our salvation without actually knowing what it is. As a matter of fact, I contend

Tonight I was on monergism.com when I discovered an interactive Church History Timeline. If you've ever wanted to know what things happened when in the Bible and early church, this provides a really clean timeline, where you get to choose what events you see (like if you wanted to view only "Old Testament" or whatever). There are some events, of course, that are somewhat guessed, and debated on

From the Baptist Faith and Message: Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. The gift of gender is thus part of the goodness of God's creation. In the beginning man was innocent of sin and was endowed by his Creator with freedom of

We know from our 30 Core Truths study that the Holy Spirit is a person of God. He is not some supernatural force that comes upon us. From The Baptist Faith and Message: The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He inspired holy men of old to write the Scriptures. Through illumination He enables men to understand truth. He exalts Christ. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness,

This Sunday we began a month-long study on disciplines. Often when we think of 'discipline' we think of punishment, but there is another way to think of discipline--as training. For example, a basketball player disciplines himself to play basketball well. Even though the basketball player may not want to practice every day, he does so there will be an end result: he will be a good athlete. As

Over the years, Jesus Christ has been called a lot of things. Today, some say he is imaginary, others say he was a man. Many will say he was a good teacher and we should look to him for morals. Even more will say he is a prophet of God, but could never be the Son of God. When we talk about the "Son of God," what do we believe about Jesus? From The Baptist Faith and Message: Christ is the eternal

Wednesday we looked at how we all have guilt in our lives. We talked about how it makes us feel: angry, sad, evasive, insane. When we as Christians experience guilt, there are many things that go through our heads: (1) why did I do that? (2) what do I do now? (3) how can I earn God's favor? (4) how do I get rid of the guilt? The answers aren't easy to listen to, but the Bible helps us

What do we believe as Baptists? Often, we can go to church, read our Bibles, and not really think about why we believe what we believe--if we even know what we believe. So, for those who want to know what Baptists believe, and why, there is a booklet called The Baptist Faith and Message. Today we'll start by looking at the first article of this booklet, which is about the Scriptures. What do
