Ex-Church of Christ Support Board

I attended a mainstream church, no instrumental music but supported missionaries, orphanages, and the CoC colleges like Freed Hardeman.

In the 60's at my parents CoC there was an "evangelist". who came to speak there named Mid McKnight. It was their annual "meeting" week at the church. He was known for bringing large numbers of people forward at the invitation like Jimmy Allen or Billy Graham. He gave his normal ...

In Waynesboro TN there used to be a a CoC either adjacent or just across the street of from a DoC may also be ca...

One thing I never heard discussed was Mark 16:17–18 which says those that believe will handle snakes and take poison. Almost all biblical scholars think this is a passage added to the Bible by scribes however it is in most translations (some have a note about this). My question is when people say ev...
