Question?

Do any of you ever hear a Preacher say " this is defined this way from the Greek" or something similar to that statement? since We have the concordances words are easy to look up. If you have heard a statement similar to the one above, why do you suppose it was used? I would like to know what you think. Marlin Freeman.

Let's go fishing!

In the book of Mark 1:17. Jesus said " I will make you to become fishers of men" I understand fishing pretty well in East Tex. La. and Ark. I know that we fish differently under different circumstances. When Jesus said "I will make you to become" does that mean that He will help us to adapt to every circumstance in our society today? Also I am assuming that We stay in the parameters of the scripture. What do you think?

A big command in a few words

Why do we talk a lot about Church growth? that is mainly what the Bible talks about to us. We are never told to be satisfied with status-Que. Acts 1:8 is Where we are and is where We are to start then spread out world wide, but never stop where we are. It comes first. Do a short drill. take your local association book and compare the numbers of those that died, with the numbers of those Baptized. In our local Association we have 26 Churches, last year there were only 2 more Baptized, than died. The Local Churches are a great Mission field if we will only work it. What do you think?
