Why Your Church Won’t Be Able to Find a Pastor

Jim Sun, 02/19/17 8:30 pm

Body

The day in which a young pastor goes to a small town church to begin his career is over. Now, these young pastors serve a few years on the staff of a large church in the city, then move directly to church planting. In my view, large church staff experience is a very poor training ground for pastoral ministry in small to mid-sized churches.

Body

Jeff Straub’s headline, “The Fundamental Baptist Fellowship is No More” is inaccurate and misleading. The FBFI will continue to function under its corporate name, Fundamental Baptist Fellowship International, Inc.

Memoir of a 30 Year Old

Jim Sat, 02/18/17 8:30 pm

Body

Today marks my 30th birthday, and thus, I have completed my 30th year of life. Some view 30 as a milestone, marking the end of youth. Others view it as the beginning of the prime of one’s life. Today, I look to offer something of a personal and theological memoir by telling my Christian story over these past 30 years

The Fundamental Baptist Fellowship is No More!

Jim Sat, 02/18/17 8:30 pm

Body

Word comes to us that the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship International is no more. At their recent board meeting, we understand that the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship leadership voted to change their name to Foundations Baptist Fellowship, retaining the FBF shorthand version but changing its name because the term “fundamental” is no longer useful.

On Potlucks and Baptist Business Meetings

Body

Sometimes called the Jerusalem Council, this assembly was not really a church council at all. It was a business meeting of the local church in Jerusalem.

Seven Costs of Disciple-Making

Jim Thu, 02/09/17 8:30 pm

Body

Disciple-making involves personal attention and guidance from one maturing Christian to another “younger” believer in the faith. It’s essentially spiritual parenting — intentionally and relationally investing oneself in the spiritual growth and maturity of a few disciples — part of which is training those disciples to then disciple others who disciple others.

On Christian Coloring Books

Jim Thu, 02/09/17 8:30 pm

Body

A Christian coloring book is worthwhile if it simply presents interesting art or inspiring words. But when it becomes a form of spirituality, it has crossed a line.
