Going north

Well My good friends in just a couple of days now my wife and I will head north to the beautiful southern Mo. I really look forward to this trip. Due the expensive rooms in Springfield We will be staying in Branson, 40 miles south. We will spend a day in Branson after the meeting. and then go to Batesville Ark. where we will visit with some friends and family. On Sunday morning we will visit with the Oak Grove MBC, where I was ordained in 1971. and on Sunday eve. We will visit with Maple Springs MBC. in the Rosie area where I was raised. I preached my first message outside where my membership was. and was given the first money that I ever received for preaching. I guess it was not much of a message because, I was given $1 . but that meant more than most other gifts because of who it came from. Hope to see you in Mo.

ABA Seminary's #2

There is a method behind this madness. My computer continues to kick off. so I will do some short posts and You can sort them out. Some who oppose Seminaries say that they can learn without them. They miss out on the several varied views that can be had in School, plus the great challenge that is offered by other Students. If you cannot stand spirited debate, give and take, then School is not the place for you. But You will always be dodging the challenges that will certainly come your way. In one of our ABA seminary's you can expect to learn, the Bible, how to manage a Pastorate, Missions, Defence of the faith, some Counseling for many different areas of life, Greek, Hebrew, English, in the language department, Speech, some Debate. And you will have a host of Pastors that will treat you like a Son. Not a Grand Son. More later. comments please.

ABA Seminary's

I have observed some on the Blogs and Message Boards, running down Seminary education. Up front I think that such is just plain dumb. Every ABA School that I know of is Church owned and controlled By a local New Testament Church. Also every one that I know of is also affordable since much of the expense is paid by Local Churches. I will ride this Horse a little more later. Comments are welcome.

Info. please. For my information.

I have been studying the seven Churches af Asia, Rev. chpt. 2&3. My question is how much of this applys to Churches today? My personal observation is that all of it can and does. What do you say? Just looking for information.
