I am a Baptist, but I belong to a denomination that has ordained women since 1956. I have thoroughly studied the topic, esp exegeting the Greek, and I am resolved in my Baptist “authority of the believer” that women can be ordained. I’ll take my assistant woman preacher with orthodox beliefs any...

This is not just unethical, but an outright lie! You should be ashamed of yourself. Spurgeon was a Particular Baptist, and they were Calvinists. He lived long before this blight of Pentecostalism starred in 1905. “Spurgeon, in full Charles Haddon Spurgeon, (born June 19, 1834, Kelvedon, Essex...

Yet George Whitefieod and Jonathon Edwards were both Calvinists instrumental in starting the Great Awakening, in the US & England. Both were called as evangelists. When Edwards preached his sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” he read the text in a boring monotone, never looking at...

For those of you who do not know me, I have an MDiv from an ATS accredited seminary. That’s the top accreditation board for seminaries in North America. I was also working on a PhD in theology, in an ATS accredited Theological School, but had to quit because of ill health. I did a 3 year degree...

Spurgeon was a Reformed Baptist. A Calvinist in this beliefs, except for believing in adult baptism. He was absolutely not a forerunner of Pentecostalism. Not only that, he founded Pastor’s College to train up pastors on how to study the Bible, and preach, teach, and evangelize. “Spurgeon’s...

The only people that don’t have the Holy Spirit are unsaved people! It is the Holy Spirit who leads us to salvation. That same Spirit lives and dwells inside of us. Whether we are a plumber, a math professor, a teacher, housewife, mechanic or preacher. Everyone who calls on the name of the...

I’ve taught the Alpha course twice! Or facilitated it. The first time we did it in my home. I was able to screen and leave out the charismatic parts. After all, we were a Baptist Church. The next time the format was different. We did it as a church, we all watched the videos together. I...

What a stupid answer! Of course I was only speaking to people that God called to seminary, to preach. Why would I be telling anyone to go to seminary who hadn’t heard God’s call on their hearts & lives? God called me twice, loud & clear. The first time was in the late 1980’s. It was so...

We had 119 two years ago. It was unbearable. But it was even hotter elsewhere in BC. Ironically it wasn’t been that hot this summer, one day of 36C/97F. Yet the worst fires! Arsonists having a riot, I guess. The police chief stated outright the West Kelowna fire was suspicious and probably...

I’m tired of fires! Esp arson fires. They are setting back fires across the lake in West Kelowna to stop the fire from going into densely populated areas. So the smoke gets worse. I wear a carbon filter mask, which is ok at lower temperatures. Here is a picture I took from my backyard during...

I forgot to mention temperatures were in the low 20C for a while, which was good for slowing down and fighting the fires. Today was 29, tomorrow 32. I like the heat, but so do fires. But wind is the worst, and no increased wind in the forecast., We are supposed to meet our evacuated son (from...

Smoky! 11/10 or 426! I’m in the thick of BC fires. We are safe, I hope! Although I see it is going to 30C tomorrow. My oldest son was evacuated from Yellowknife, NWT, he is safe in Edmonton. I bought a fancy new air purifier which is getting a workout. This morning, my room as 003. I took the...

I really appreciate you posting these videos. I hope whoever needs to hear them will find them, and get help, and find Christ!

You totally misread what I wrote! NEVER did I say either Canada or the US should increase its total number of refugees. I didn't even speak of refugees, I was specifically talking about people already here, that we should be reaching out to, which we are not. I realize neither of our countries...

Surrey, outside of Vancouver, has become a huge city. Because of a Sikh temple on the western edge, there are millions of East Indians who live there. We personally did a lot of outreach with our neighbours. I led many of the woman to Christ, and gave them Punjabi Bibles to read. But there were...

We should care for immigrants! Western Canada, where I live is mostly first to 4th Gen immigrants. I’m 3rd Gen. my grandparents came from Europe, spoke other languages. My husband had German/Moldavian grandparents on one side, but his other side goes back to eastern Canada, and the US - United...

I never missed a church service in my life. until COVID ! I went 40 years unless I had pneumonia. I participated in worship, Christian Education and preaching. When COVID came, churches were shut down. So we did our service on zoom. The sermons il were recorded, and the music; the quality...

Il faut que vous ètidiez avec Duo à Duolingo, je pense! J’ai appris ce mot là!! Lol

I have read a number of Bibles. If you want formal word to word, then probably the NASB, or the ESV. Although they are rehashes of the KJV. Updated though. So not so many questions about the vocabulary or grammar. I read the NASB for 25 years. It is very formal and wooden, and it became tedious...

I was in & out of cults, especially the New Age mov’t. The Mov’t had many aspects, side shoots & over lapping concepts. A lot of those cults were run by charismatic, dogmatic leaders. These leaders were always viewed as right & often were manipulative, despite what they said about finding God or...
