THE BOSWELL BOYS

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

By Ken Blue These are some of the friends I grew up with in Boswell, Arkansas. We attended a one room school house together. In the background is Grandpa Byler’s house. About one hundred feet to the right of the picture is the White River. I have many wonderful memories of these years and my [...]

IS IT WRONG TO GET SINNERS TO CHURCH TO GET THEM SAVED

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

By Ken Blue Recently an article came to my attention suggesting it is an abomination to get the lost to come to church in order to get them saved. The article would have you believe the only purpose of the church is to edify and build up the saints. Men who used “means” to get [...]

EVER WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO…

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

By Ken Blue The pages of Matthew and mark start out blazing with the ministry of John the Baptist. He is among the prophets, is the greatest born of women and has a unique ministry.

IS YOURS A CARBON COPY OF THE CHURCH JESUS STARTED

Monday, July 19th, 2010

By Ken Blue “If Jesus were physically on earth today he would be a member of a Baptist church because a (true) Baptist church is a practical copy and an actual descendant of the church that Christ started during His earthly ministry.” The above is a quote from a Baptist Bride Pastor. All briders agree [...]

By Ken Blue If you go to Google Earth and type in Boswell, Arkansas, you will get a satellite view of what used to be the small town where I grew up. I discovered recently that the town is as empty at ground level as the picture from above reveals. What happened to my town? [...]

THE RAPTURE OF THE SAINTS

Friday, July 16th, 2010

  By Ken Blue   “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible [...]

IT NEEDS TO BE SAID

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

  By Ken Blue There are many things in life that should never be said. Everyone would have been better off, had we kept silent about certain things. On the other hand, there are things we put off until it is to late. So, as I get closer to the finish line, I feel there [...]

MORE BAPTIST BRIDE BOLOGNA FROM THE DEEP FREEZE

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

  By Ken Blue Several years ago I wrote a book called, Baptist Brider Bologna. I had no idea just how thick the bologna was until a fellow pastor called my attention to a Baptist Bride webpage. It contained the article below. We could title it “The Switch and Bait Game.”   Briders believe they [...]
