Hey all! The Cross Culture at Antioch Bible Church is now called The Summit and has some exciting things coming up! (This is the singles ministry at Antioch,...
I just found this rather interesting Seattle Times article that complains about how hard it is to make friends in Seattle, compared to other cities. Since...
When I first read that article last year, all I could so was breathe a sigh of relief. I learned that it wasn't just me. It was the culture of the area....
Gosh, that sucks. You haven't even been able to make friends at church? --Wayne ... breathe a sigh of relief. I learned that it wasn't just me. It was the...
That was a really interesting article, I moved up here about a year ago from Texas, and where I really noticed this was in the churches I visited. With a few...
Now that I think about it, that's been my typical experience when I've been on my church-hopping rounds. I meet people, they're very welcoming and polite,...
I have tried to get involved in things at my church. The singles ministry there seems even older than I, and I am in my late 40's - sad isn't it. I am not...
Maybe it's cuz I'm a newer Christian, but none of this makes sense to me. How can anyone really minister and serve anyone effectively without getting to know...
Mark What you have to realize is that the church is made up of people, and as people we are all imperfect. There are some wonderful things about people at my...
Okay, you're right. After reading your reply, I guess different church groups around the country have different strengths and weaknesses. Even the 7 churches...
Well me being the newby I can comment. Actually I've been here for a year now! Goodness! I have attended many churches in Spokane - where I'm from - and never...
This has been an interesting discussion so far, getting to hear about different people's experiences and perspectives on Seattle- area churches. I'm still not...
I definately agree with your solution Wayne. In small groups (not very easy in big groups) you should be able to see people who have been around a while, but...
This movie comes out today nationwide. IMDB: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0399862/ Every Tribe Entertainment: http://www.everytribe.com/Movies/EndOfTheSpear.aspx...
Oh my gosh, I totally forgot about this until just now!!! http://tinyurl.com/4ctss I probably would've forgotten completely if I wasn't watching the History ...
I saw an announcement on the news the other day. Definitely one of those moments where unless you were younger than the age of three you will always remember...
Yep. 8th grade P.E. class, 1st period. We all assembled in our rows at the end of class like we always did, and out of the blue, one of the teachers said,...
FOR WHOM DID CHRIST DIE? John Owen The Father imposed His wrath due unto, and the Son underwent punishment for, either: All the sins of all men. All the sins...
Intriguing post, but I question the logic against Christ dying for all the sins of all men. Matthew 12:31 says "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy...
Is it just me, or does the new Lincoln Square in downtown Bellevue always have a lot of snobby-looking rich people walking around? Like, why do you need to be...
Wayne you crack me up. Thanks for all the info and the tips. :o) Funny that you mention your experience with Lincoln Square and such. I felt that around...

From people I know that actually have the credit and income to do some condo shopping, I heard that the top floors of that place...or some skyrise nearby...has...
I think it's the general idea that beauty is wasted/vulgar/ironic on an indiscrete woman. Or a beautiful woman who flaunts it (dressing inappropriately, etc)...
The way I read it is, it is saying that a beautiful woman is like the ring, not the opposite. So what I would say is what does that "tradition" mean. Why did...
How appealing is a gold ring when it is in the snout of a pig? Being run through a pigs nose takes away vastly from the appeal of the gold ring. In the same...
Well of course to us that doesn't sound appealing. Neither does some of the foods foreign countries eat. That's not what I'm saying. I'm simply saying to dig...
Did people actually have a custom of putting gold rings on pig's noses, or was what's his name just making an illustration? I figured this would be like...
