Saturday, August 2

After viewing the "The Bible Vs. The Book of Mormon," last Saturday we decided to watch a video put out by the same church called DNA vs. the Book of Mormon. This is a little more technical but also very interesting and we will watch it if I remeber to bring it and if I forget we will sit around and stare at each other for an hour and a half. Again, if you have had an interesting exchange with a Mormon about their beliefs please leave a summary as a comment on the blog.

God Bless,
Pastor Frank

Saturday, July 26

Hello Gentlemen:

This week we will take a break from studying different chapters to watch a video that compares and contrasts the Bible with the Book of Mormon (WE WILL BE WATCHING IT IF ALFRED REMEMBERS TO BRING IT BACK, otherwise we will sit around and stare at each other for an hour and a half)

If you have an experience of talking to a Mormon(s) about your faith please leave a comment on the blog as I would be interested in your experiences.

God Bless,
Pastor Frank

Saturday, July 19

"Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God." This is the opening verse of Romans chapter 13 which is the chapter that we will be looking at this Saturday beginning at 8:00. What is the Christian's responsibility to a secular government. Have you ever broken a law because you felt that as a Christian you couldn't obey the law and God at the same time? These are the kinds of questions that we will be looking at. I will be leading the discussion and I hope to see you there.

God Bless,
Pastor Frank

Men's Study Update

We finished James last Saturday! Happy 4th of July and thanks for your input to the questions I posed last week. Here, to the best of my recollection is what we came up with:

1) Do you want to meet the following Saturday which is the day after 4th of July? No- we will not be meeting this Saturday- enjoy your celebrations!

2) How often do we want to have the men's breakfasts? We looked at about every other month, trying to coordinate a breakfast with beginning a new book or study topic.

3) What do we want to study after James? We determined to continue what we started by looking at chapters that have blessed us greatly- Our "favorites" if you will.

On Saturday, July 12, John Wallace will lead us in a discussion of Romans 12

Cody Fern (we are blessed to have Cody coming to our study) mentioned Romans 3 - especially verse 23.

Eddie brought up Matthew 6, especially verse 33.

If you have a favorite chapter, please post it on a comment on the blog.

When we are finished with the chapters we will move on to an epistle to be named later.

4) Do we want to continue with the blog (participation has been very limited) or just do this by straight e-mail? We will continue on with the blog for now- please feel free to post you comments

Again, NO study this Saturday- We will se you on July 12th

God Bless,
Pastor Frank
