Re: The discontinuation of Sunday evenings
A CofC near here has Bible class at 9:00 am, worship at 10:00 am, fellowship lunch at 11:00 am, and "evening service" at 12:00 pm. They have a lot of members who live far away and it isn't reasonable to expect people who live two hours away to go home and come back for a second service, so...

Re: That Settles It
We were told to take the "I believe it" part out so it was simply, "The Bible says it, that settles it." We don't need to believe it for it to be fact or for us to practice it or whatever. If the Bible says it, there should be no further discussion. So glad we aren't there any mo...
