Striving for the Unity of the Faith for the Glory of God ~ Eph. 4:3,13; Rom. 15:5-7

Let me emphasize that I encourage comments. Lively discussions are the hallmark of some of my favorite blogs, and I would love to host similar discussions at my blog. However commenting can get out of hand, and so I want to lay some ground rules for those wishing to comment on my blog.

1) Comments should be on-topic. Sometimes this is not a problem, however off-topic comments can easily lend themselves to being offensive or belligerent.

2) Comments should be fair and courteous. Some commentors seem only interested in tearing down any others who comment. If you want to debate the issues, you are welcome. But if you only want to seek to discredit people by discussing or alleging personal problems, get over it. Everyone has a right to be heard, and it is up to the readers to judge for themselves whether their conclusions can be trusted.

3) Comments should not be vulgar, offensive, or crude. Comments I deem to be over the line, in this regard will be deleted. The same goes for comments linking to offensive or lewd material. This is a Christian blog, remember.

4) Comments from unbelievers or non-Christians are welcome. But please remember the above three rules, and treat us fairly. Hopefully the conduct and arguments of those who comment here (myself included) will be used by God’s Spirit to draw you to salvation.

5) I reserve the right to add rules, and to delete any comment as I am the owner of this blog. However, I pledge to explain why I deleted comments, and I welcome any questions pertaining to these rules.

Let me add a word about anonymity. In the interests of discussion, I have chosen to allow anyone to comment anonymously. For some, this may make it easier to comment. Others may, for one reason or another, want to shield their identity when commenting. I am fine with that. I would rather hear concerns and questions and be able to address them, than have people not raise them due to a requirement to provide their identity. However, I do not want to encourage people using fake identites. If you give a name, please let it be your real name. This allows the discussions to take place in a reasonable and fair fashion.

With this said, please feel free to comment!

  1. Hi! My name is Rev. Bobby Keating. I am an evangelist, teacher and drug and
    alcohol counselor. I often visit Christian websites to see what’s out there.
    I really like your website. I like the fact that you are open to discussion. I am driven by a deep desire to share the gospel.

    I have written two books and have been selling them to support my ministry.
    They can also be found in most Christian Bookstores.

    I would like to give them to you to give away. I have put them in pdf format
    to download from the Internet.
    I have seen them bless many people and they are my contribution to your work.
    You can use them as a free gift for anyone who visits your website, They
    are “Created in His Image” and “Alive in Christ”. Both books are written to
    introduce non-believers to Christ and to deepen the relationship between
    believers and Christ.

    If you are interested, please let me know or simply go to
    http://livingsuccessfully.org/ebookscontact.htm and download a copy of each.

    in Christ

    Your story is exactly like mine. I pastor a church in Yakima Wa. It is not a independant Fund. baptist church anymore. We worship, exposite the Word and serve the Lord with gladness. Many can’t understand the issues of election and other doctrines because you must leave your ideas and “free will” out of it and look only through God’s eyes and His Word. My dad (a very fundamental baptist) doesn’t understand , but praise God the Lord is able to use even a “rebellious PK” to preach His Word from something other that a KJV bible. Thanks for the encouragement and may the Lord bless you and your family.

  4. Hello, Bob

    We wanted to let you know about an upcoming ClickCast, live streaming video Q&A with best-seliing author Donald Miller this Monday, Sept. 28th 4:30 pst / 7:30 est.

    ClickCast is “press junket meets live viral chat” on Facebook. We are very excited to have Donald Miller on. You can RSVP for the event and invite friends on Facebook by heading over to: http://bit.ly/donaldmiller.

    We will also have Andrew Farley who has a ground breaking new book “The NAked Gospel” This event will take place on Wednesday Sept 30 at 5 PST
    Here is a direct link that you can RSVP to the event with.
    http://bit.ly/NAKEDGOSPEL

    Book Description:
    Jesus plus nothing. 100% natural. No additives. It’s the truth you may never hear in church. The Naked Gospel is a chapter-by-chapter assault on the churchy jargon and double talk of our day. It puts forth a message that is simple but life-changing. With a fresh take on Scripture and unapologetic style, The Naked Gospel will challenge you to re-examine everything you thought you already knew.

    Anything that you could do to help us get the word out on either of these events would be much appreciated. We will be anticipating many more live chat events, centered around theological issues coming up in the next couple of months.

    Best Regards
    Denny

    I am assuming that this is a direct contact feature. In regard to your challenge “If someone else can straighten me out” you’re on.
