The question is not, “Am I good enough to be a Christian?” rather, the question is, “Am I good enough not to be?”
My wife and I watched Tim Hawkins not too long ago. He was absolutely hilarious!
Among other laughs the above video clip will help men to know what NOT to say to your wife!
This clip gives you a little insight about Tim leading “worship” before he was a Christian.
Those are from his Full Range of Motion DVD and it’s definitely worth buying!
No, I don’t get any commission, but I will gladly take some!

As church members we are often in danger particularly when we don’t understand how to live. From being overly concerned about how we look to over analyzing the words we use in prayer to getting caught up in the snare of thinking that we don’t spiritually measure up to everyone else, we have a tendency to act no different than the unsaved. We so easily slide into the double-standard of holding others to biblical standards of behavior while ignoring how much we ourselves violate them. And sometimes we even create our own standards that not only God Himself has given to us and insist on holding our brothers and sisters accountable to them.
LifeWay has just released research on views of homosexuality from a telephone survey. The groups included in the survey were Americans in general, Roman Catholics, Protestants and another called “born-again, evangelical or fundamentalist Protestants.” I’m not quite sure of the distinction of the last group from the Protestants.
A quote from the article by friend and Research Director, Ed Stetzer.
“Almost a third of Americans and almost half of those who do not attend a place of worship - the people we are trying to reach - say our view of sexual morality would negatively impact their decision to visit our churches…”

Below are two photos from James White’s Atlanta visit. They were taken by my good friend and fellow church member, Smith. I finally got around to posting them.
This is a picture of the #pros friends that were present for the presentation on Islam. It was great seeing everyone!
This picture was an “accident” by Smith as he was just taking a test shot without even paying attention to what he was shooting. I saw it and wanted it. It’s a very nice looking picture and I will be able to use it in some upcoming projects.
I just wanted to relay this true story from a good friend of mine. He was a messenger at this years annual Southern Baptist Convention. He tells me this story about eating dinner in Indianapolis.
He goes to have dinner at a restaurant. He asks the server if she has been busy due to all of the Southern Baptists (SBs) in town. She said they’ve noticed a little more business, but nothing overwhelming.
He asks how tipping has been with the visiting patrons. Her answer is that they’ve not been too great and that a co-worker had just been given a $.02 (yes, that’s two cents) tip by a few SBs.
Many times in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) we hear concerns over Calvinism and how it can split a church or destroy evangelism. And just as many times the Calvinist answers that those charges are not true. But are they true? Well, theology in the hands of sinful men can do much harm to a church. Calvinism, Arminianism, or some theological combination in the hands of sinful men can all be harmful to churches.
My good friend John Jordan called me this morning from the Convention floor to tell me that the resolution on regenerate church membership passed. He said it was just wonderful to be there and watch the support for the resolution as the amendments were initially not being fully supported.
As resolutions go, whatever it ends up meaning and however it ends up working it passed.
On Regenerate Church Membership and Church Member Restoration
WHEREAS, The ideal of a regenerate church membership has long been and remains a cherished Baptist principle, with Article VI of the Baptist Faith and Message describing the church as a “local congregation of baptized believers”; and
