  • Prayer (More Testimonies)
    Holding fast the Faithful Holding forth the Word of Life." THE PRIVILEGE AND POWER OF PRAYER (MORE TESTIMONIES) "Pray One for Another" (James 5:16) I cannot tell why there should come to me A thought of some one miles and miles away! In swift insistence on the memory, Unless a need there be that I should pray. Too hurried oft are we to spare the thought, For days together, of some friends away; Perhaps God does it for us, and we ought To read His signal as a call to pray. Perhaps, just then, my friend has fiercer fight, And more appalling weakness and decay Of courage, darkness, some lost sense or right; And so, in case he needs my prayer, I pray. Friend, do the same for me. If I intrude Unasked upon you, on some crowded day, Give me a moment’s prayer as interlude; Be very sure I need it, therefore, pray. -Marianne Famingham MISSIONS SEMINAR August 11, 1995 Sellersburg Church of Christ Sellersburg, IN 8:30 a.m .

  • Lifeway, Rick Warren, and the Son of God
    LifeWay, Rick Warren, and the Son of God Dr. Randy White LifeWay Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention and Southern Baptist Pastor Rick Warren have teamed up with the New Age Catholics Mark Burnett and Roma Downey to produce “Son of God: The Life of Jesus in You.” This is a six-session “Bible study” for small groups. As a Southern Baptist who is concerned about the direction of the Southern Baptist Convention and LifeWay (wholly owned and controlled by the SBC), I want to write an in-depth critique of this resource. First, let me share an underlying concern with small group “Bible study” as it is most often seen today. Can we really call it Bible study when a participant would not have to bring a Bible? The Scriptures used are printed in the student’s book, devoid of context and often used out of context (as you will soon see). The contemporary small-group is a study of a celebrity pastor or teacher’s work. Only by a wild stretch of the imagination could the participant leave the session saying they had engaged in Bible study. The small-group Bible study is the equivalent of medical school students playing a game of Operation or engineers building a bridge using Legos. In years past, the church had small groups that would meet and study Christian authors, but it was called it a book circle. Bible study was when people brought their Bible and studied the Bible for content. This kind of study is almost non-existent in the purpose-driven, growth-oriented church.

  • Rochester Area Bible Quizzing
    Rochester Area Bible Quizzing "The Answer is in the Question" Exactly what is Bible Quizzing? Quizzing is a Christian sport sponsored by Rochester Area Youth For Christ. It encourages young people to “hide God’s Word in their hearts”, as well as to develop the physical, mental, social, and spiritual areas of their lives. Each month quizzers study a specific number of verses from previously selected Books of the New Testament. After learning the material, the teams compete together by answering questions based on the passages. Two or three teams face off at one time. The teams are seated on pads facing a quizmaster. The quizmaster asks the questions, and the first person to jump off the chair has a chance to answer the question and score points for his or her team. Who can participate? Quiz teams are composed of 3 to 5 young people from a church. The teams compete against other teams in the same age bracket. We presently have two leagues, a Little League for fourth through sixth graders, and an “A/B” league for seventh through twelfth graders. At the parents' discretion, kids younger than fourth grade may quiz. Are there any awards? Trophies or ribbons are presented to the top quizzers in each league. Also, there are various opportunities to travel to quizzing tournaments. Did you say travel? Yes! As with other sports, various tournaments are held all over the country. Quizzers from our leagues are encouraged to make teams and participate in these tournaments. This year we participate in the Crown College Tournament in the Twin Cities and the World Bible Quiz Association Chicago Tournament in the Chicago suburbs.

    Collection Title: NACC Records, 1926-2017, undated Repository: The Helsabeck Archives of the Stone-Campbell Movement Emmanuel Christian Seminary at Milligan Library 1 Walker Drive Johnson City, TN 37601 Email: [email protected] http://library.milligan.edu/archives/ Creator: North American Christian Convention Executive Director’s Office Title: NACC Records, 1926-2017, undated Collection No. HSC0002 Extent: 17 cubic feet (17 boxes) Language: English Abstract: This collection consists of the North American Christian Convention records. The North American Christian Convention ran from 1927 to 2018 when it changed to become Spire. These records include planning and research materials and materials relating to running the convention. Of special note are records relating to Leonard G. Wymore, the first executive director, and records of the various committees. In addition, the collection contains promotional items from most of the conventions. Administrative History: First held in 1927, the North American Christian Convention was a gathering of the independent Christian Churches/Churches of Christ (“4 C’s”). As such, it was not a denominational meeting, but a meeting highlighted by discussions, exhibits, worship services, and preaching. Beginning in 1950, the convention was held annually until 2018, after which the convention changed to become Spire. Leonard G. Wymore was the first full-time convention director, with offices in Cincinnati, OH, beginning in 1963. Following Wymore were Rod Huron (convention director, 1986-1997), Dusty Rubeck (executive director, 1997-1999), Terry Wuske (managing director, 1998-2002), Allan Dunbar (executive director, 2002- 2009), and Larry Collins (managing director, 2002-2019). The convention has also historically had a committee, with women joining in the 1990s.
