The Church - Membership Matters
One of the basic understandings among Baptists, and many other denominations, is that at some point a true and faithful follower of Jesus Christ will unite with a local body of believers of like faith and practice. We call it "joining the church" or "becoming a member." In some churches this is a very simple, almost instant process involving an immediate acknowledgement by the congregation that this person has come to join the congregation. For others it is a more lengthy, and sometimes multiphase, process. Classes may be required, doctrinal statements of the church and the potential member reviewed, and at last a formal vote of the congregation. In fact, you will find churches which fit almost any point between these informal and more formal membership systems.

Music in the Mess
A despondent man who was considering suicide contemplated every method that he knew. He could shoot himself, poison himself, hang himself, burn himself, or drown himself. This article is from SBC Life, February 2011. (2/11/2011)
It's Not All About the Gifts
I recently had the opportunity to see a wonderful Christmas drama called “Journey to the Manger” at Ocean View Baptist Church.
It was a full-on musical production filled with great songs, a terrific story and solid performances by the cast and choir. It also contained an important message for any Christmas, but especially this year’s holiday season: It’s not about the gifts.
