Did any of you visitors to the site attend the 4Given Quartet  concert at Coal Fire AL, Baptist Church today, 6/26/2011? …If so, why not give us a report on the performance and the attendances…. I hope you folks in Coal Fire gave them a good old Coal Fire reception….I look forward to hearing from someone on the concert….Listening to their web site sounds like a great group…..

Did you know that 76 % of Americans are Christians? And did you know of that 76%, that 24 % (72 Million) are Catholic, 16 % (48 million) are Baptist, and 7 % (20 million) are Methodist. 1.3% ( 4 million) of that number of Mormon. And I mention that because the percentage of those members that attend church, the Mormons do best. 71 % are regular church attenders, while Baptist are 50 % and Catholics are 48%. ……I just figured you guys had always wondered about that….soooo, now you know.

I was raised Baptist, but we attend Calvary Chapel when we attend, which since Sweeties hip replacement we have slowed way down. Unless you get to that church early you almost have to park in the Caterpillar dealers yard. Well, slightly exaggerated, but its a long walk if you are not early. Well, last night we went early and got a decent parking space and really enjoyed Skip Heitzig message. “That boy can preach.” You know Christ commanded Peter to “feed my sheep”. That is what Skip does, he feeds me and Sweetie. If you go to Calvary and don’t get fed, you are sleeping through the sermon. Anyway, a very good message. I hope you went to church today. It just makes you feel better, don’t it…..Well, it does me anyway… One more did you know item……Did you know Calvary Chapel has over 13,500 adults attending their serivces? That’s why it is so hard to find a close parking space. One other “did you know”….Did you know Calvary has a Saturday night service and three Sunday morning services?

Tonight I read, Free Indeed: The Testimony of Lynn Wilder…..She tells a wonderful story of being converted to Mormonism and after years of devotion to the Mormon faith, she was born again, becoming a Christian again and leaving the Mormon church. I did not know the Mormon did not believe in being “born again”. You Mormon folks need to read the Bible, I say read the Bible folks….It tells you all about that….It tells you about the Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit being one person….You can go to heaven by believing in Jesus Christ when you claim Him as your Savior…..I have not read anything about me becoming a God or about you becoming one either…That ain’t gonna happen….The Bible tells it straight….Believe it…Oh, yeah…You folks don’t recognize the cross? You don’t wear the cross? You do know that Jesus died on a cross for your sins and mine, huh? He shed his blood for us, on a cross, to cleanse and pardon our sins….You did read about that, didn’t you?….Reading this article by Mrs. Wilder really disturbed me….Maybe I should have already known that stuff, but I did not….Shame on me…
