A Change Of Ministry - One Wife's Testimony
2008-03-28 07:30:00 Psalm 118:8 "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."For some people, change is never easy. A change in ministry is no different. In this post I would like to share with you my personal experience and feelings as God began to change the direction of the ministry God has for our family. I'm sure my perspective is somewhat different than what my children or husband have.God used the verse above to help me with this transition our family is going through in more ways than one. I will explain how as I go through this post.Another portion of Scripture is Ephesians 5:22-24 "Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing."I don't know how other wives are but I don't like change. When God called my husband into the mi... More About: Change , Ministry , Testimony
A Burning and a Shining Light
2008-03-26 20:48:00 When John the Baptist walked throughout Israel preaching and preparing for the rise of Christ's ministry, he was a bold, dynamic preacher. He defied the norms of his day, stepped out in obedience to God's call, and preached with power and effectiveness. He sharply attacked the culture of his world and the religious leadership demanding that they repent and turn back to God. He wasn't afraid to be different, to take a stand, to speak the truth.Christ himself sang the praises of this man's life and testimony when he said, "There hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist." (Matthew 11:11) This was the epithet spoken by Christ himself and recorded in the eternal Scriptures at the tip of Matthew's pen. This is the memorial that will live on forever. Besides the God-man Christ Jesus, there is none greater than John the Baptist.So what was the secret key to John's powerful spiritual success? What was it that set him apart from the millions of people alive during his day? ... More About: Light , Burning , Shining
From the Church House to the Mission Field
2008-03-21 12:41:00 My dad started pastoring his first church in 1997. We were only there for ten months. We had a bad experience there, but God knew what He was doing! He was preparing my dad to be the pastor of Eagles View Baptist Church .My dad started pastoring Eagles View in July of 2000. When I found out that my dad was going to pastor again, I was a little apprehensive because of what our family had gone through with the previous church. We had been hurt badly by the people in the church. They would say they backed him up all the way, but behind his back, they were saying and doing differently. Since what we had been through had been my only experience as a pastor's kid, that was all I could go by.Being at that first church (which will remain nameless) hurt my family and me in many was. I had been really upset with the people there because of what they had done to my daddy. After all, that's my daddy! It really, really hurt, but I had to learn to let go of that.When we first started g... More About: House , The Church , Mission , Field
Newest Resources and Site Updates
2008-03-20 12:32:00 Here at The Baptist Muse, I am constantly striving to add new links to top quality Independent Fundamental Baptist websites.

Sprinkling the Sweet Seeds of Friendship
2008-03-19 07:05:00 It was the summer of 1993 and it was the first time that I ever attended Cedar River Baptist Camp in Letts, IA. I was eight years old and would be turning nine later that summer. I was going to be at camp for 5 days, Monday thru Friday. Though, I might have stayed at a friend?s house over night, I had never been away from my parents for a whole week.I?ll never forget that summer. I was the only one from my church that went to camp that week. Everyone else was too young and would be going to primary camp. Also, no one went to camp with me as a counselor. I was on my own.On Monday morning my pastor and his wife took me to the camp and dropped me off. They got me registered, introduced me to some people they knew from another church, said their good-byes and then left. I was scared to death.A Frightening AdventureDuring that week of camp, there was a girl on staff named Stephanie. Stephanie?s whole family worked at the camp during the summer months and then during the fall, winter and ... More About: Friendship , Sweet , Seeds
Overcoming My Bitter Childhood Memories
2008-03-17 12:30:00 When I was sixteen years old, I told my parents that I didn't want anything to do with God. I didn't want to serve a God that would allow me to experience what I had been forced to grow up with. I was at the peak of rebellion and bitterness because of my tragic upbringing.My parents had adopted me three years earlier when I was thirteen. Before my adoption, I was brought up by a single father. My mother had left before I was even old enough to remember what she looked like. My dad was a heavy drinker and often very violent. He would beat me and make fun of me. To this day, I have scars on my body as a result of what he did to me.A Struggle with Bitter ness and HateFollowing my adoption, I grew to resent my family situation. I looked back on my childhood with contempt and bitterness. I despised the experiences that I was forced to suffer through.

Scriptural Authority for the Catholic Church
2008-03-16 14:00:00 I have recently been quite taken back by Catholic apologists who try to claim that the foundation of their faith, traditions, and dogma is the Bible. In fact, I have seen these Catholics challenge others to prove that their religion is not based on God's Word. Yet it takes only a casual look at the facts to see that they are not built upon the doctrines and practices outlined in the Scriptures and that the official Catholic Church doesn't pretend to be.?Thus it comes about that the Church does not draw her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Hence, both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honoured with equal feelings of devotion and reverence? (Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, Chap. 2, 9, p. 682).Questions For Our Catholic FriendsWhere in the Bible do we find Peter assuming and exercising the role of a Catholic pope?

Passion for the Things of God
2008-03-14 11:37:00 In Jeremiah 2, Jeremiah remembers with fondness a nation that once was devoted to God. The prophet recalled the love that Israel first pledged to God. He noted their readiness to follow Him, even into the wilderness. Now Israel, the recipient of God?s love had forsaken Him. They had turned from God, and Jeremiah wanted to know why. What iniquity had they found in God to cause them to turn from Him?Christian, can you remember when you were first saved? Can you remember when you trusted God to supply your needs? Can you remember the excitement as you picked up your Bible and had devotions for the first time? Can you recall how thrilled you were to come to church and hear the preaching of the Word of God? Once you used to sit in church eager to hear. Now, you sit and eagerly wait for it to end. Once you used to stay and fellowship with God?s people. Now you are the first to run out the door.Abandoning God leaves a person with a life that is empty and worthless. Where there is... More About: Passion , Things
Sure-Fire Strategies for Better Blog Content
2008-03-13 12:47:00 I first began blogging a little less than two years ago and I have certainly come a long way in this field since that first post. At first, it was a passive hobby, something to satisfy my knack at web and graphic design while at the same time being able to express or rather preach what God has been teaching me. Yet now, I love the passion of writing and the excitement of encouraging and challenging other believers.A very large portion of my audience here at The Baptist Muse, is composed of other like-minded bloggers.

This Too Shall Pass
2008-03-12 12:37:00 One day when I was about five or six, my brother, Chris, and I were playing across the street at the neighbor?s. The man who owned the house was an elderly gentleman and his grandkids did not live in the area so he allowed our family to play in his huge yard. Chris was chasing a baby squirrel around the yard and got the notion in his head that he could catch it. I don?t know what he was going to do with it once he caught it but he was determined to grab that squirrel. I was running around when all of a sudden I heard Chris say ?Diane, stand still.? So I stopped where I was and watched him as he chased the squirrel.All of a sudden the squirrel was headed straight for me. What to do? Should I move or stand still like my older brother told me? I decided to stand still. I stood still and that squirrel ran straight up my leg. One minute I was standing there all calm and the next I was scared to death, screaming to get the squirrel off my leg and shaking my leg hysterically to get it ... More About: Pass
The Original Tale Of Two Cities
2008-03-12 03:08:00 In 1859, Charles Dickens penned the classic novel A Tale of Two Cities . In that work, he drew a beautiful picture of the situation in prosperous London and compared it to the circumstances of Paris during the French Revolution. On one hand, you had London, a city booming with growth and economic surplus, and on the other you had Paris, a city torn apart through revolutionary war, plagued with mass political executions, and terrorized with famine. These two cities were perfect opposites. With this understanding, its famous opening words seem to create a perfect snapshot of what was taking place during that time.?It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness??A Weak Comparison to the Original WorkThe book certainly creates a bold contrast between a real-life paradise and anti-paradise. Yet as drastic as this contrast is it doesn?t begin to compare to The Original Tale of Two Cities as was authored nearly two thousand ...
Finding the Light in Cancer?s Shadow
2008-03-10 13:00:00 When John and I first heard the doctor say, "You definitely have cancer," it was as if we had been punched in the stomach. You've been there, haven't you? You receive the blow, the wind is knocked out of you and it seems as though you can't breathe! Instinctively, we reached for each other's hand and held on. I remember looking down at our hands intertwined and not being able to tell which were my fingers and which were his. He clutched on to me so tightly that his knuckles were turning white. This was going to prove to be one of the hardest trials we would encounter as man and wife.The doctor's words seemed to fade as thoughts rushed into my head. The feelings of being overwhelmed came over me and it was at that moment that the Lord reminded me of who we were. We are a child of the King and the God of Glory is still on His throne. Immediately, I felt His presence like a warm blanket! I placed my other hand over John's hand and said a short prayer in my heart, "Lord,... More About: Cancer , Shadow , Light
What Are You Afraid Of?
2008-03-09 07:18:00 The Cherokee Indians used to have a rite of passage that young boys had to experience before they were considered to be men. A boy?s father would lead him far out into the woods, blindfold him and give him a few instructions. He was to sit on a stump. He was not to lie down or sleep. He was not to remove the blindfold or leave until after the morning light began to push its way through the cloth that wrapped his eyes. He cannot talk or cry out for help. The father then leaves for the village. If the boy survives the night, he is a man.The boy is terrified. Throughout the night, the boy would shiver as the cold dew settles in on him. He would hear the sounds of coyotes howling in the distance or of boar rustling through the brush. He would hear the wind moaning through the trees. He could hear all kinds of frightening sounds around him.Finally, however, after a night of terror, the sun would climb up over the hills and the young boy would remove his blindfold. It was on...

Are All Christians In A Hurry?
2008-03-07 13:00:00 The great thing about the Internet is that everything is just a click away. If you?re interested in finding information, all you have to do is key a few words into the address bar of your browser and within seconds you will have all the facts, statistics, articles, and reviews that you might need. If you?re interested in purchasing something, you have only to reach as far as your back pocket to find what you want. Grab your credit card and browse an online marketplace to make instant purchases. You can even order home-delivery pizza from several major franchises directly through their websites.This kind of convenience seems to be the end-goal of every major industry. Fast food restaurants attempt to fill your drive-thru order in as little time as possible.

Comfort the Mourning with Lies
2008-03-05 03:34:00 In front of me to my left was a simple coffin in which an honored member of the United States Army was to be buried. Surrounding it were six bearers, an officer, and a chaplain. A small group of family and friends gathered to my right facing toward the coffin. At my side was the Arlington Lady whom I was escorting. She was there to convey condolences to the family on behalf of the Chief of Staff of the Army, General George Casey. I stand at the perfect position of attention: feet together, head high, chest out, shoulders back, eyes pointed straight forward. My uniform, and the uniform of every soldier in attendance is perfectly pressed. The seems are sharp and crisp. We did the work on them ourselves. We know that everything is perfectly in place.Once everyone has moved into place, the officer takes a step back and to the side signaling to the chaplain that he may now speak. The chaplain steps forward and begins to eulogize. He speaks about the great sacrifice that this ... More About: Lies , Comfort , Mourning
The Catholic Church or The Bible
2008-03-04 13:34:00 Throughout the ages, the Catholic church has continued to evolve into the religious organization that it is today. They have, over time, replaced many of the key doctrines that Christ taught with traditions that counsels and pope's have enacted. The Catholic church has, in general, fallen guilty of the same crimes as the pharisees of Jesus' day. They have crafted a religion based on the philosophies of sinful men rather than relying on the finished work of God's Word. Just as the pharisees, the Catholic Church has fallen hard from where God had once intended."Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men... And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition." ~ Mark 7:7-9The Catholic Church has blatantly replaced God's commandments with their own dogma. For us to make this strong assertion, however, demands that we ... More About: Bible , Catholicism
Sickness and Sunsets or The Nasty Bug
2008-03-04 03:09:00 Recently, my husband Nick was sick with a sore throat that he says he got from all of you other bloggers. He is still not feeling 100% but he is almost there. Unfortunately he managed to give it to me after I was so patient in taking care of him and pampering him just like he asked me. But like he says, he was told to share as a child and that's what he did.After a lot of sleep, rest, and drinking lots of fluids, I felt tons better by Sunday night. Today I felt almost back to my normal self (which isn't actually very normal, especially since I am married to Nick). He still has a little bit of a sore throat and is starting to see that drinking a lot of fluids is the key to getting rid of this nasty bug. He has a hard head but he is slowly learning that his wife is always right! LOL!Today was great. It was around 70 degrees and the sun was beautiful.

5 Principles for Managing Debt
2008-03-03 12:57:00 Many people are greatly hindered in their service for God because they cannot afford to do what God has called them to do. Two years ago a friend of mine wanted to pastor a church but had to stay and work a secular job until he could pay off tens of thousands in debt. He could have begun fulfilling his calling years earlier had he not made the bad decisions that landed him in that situation.This post is my attempt to share some financial principles that I have learned over the years. I have yet to pay any interest on a credit card and have, in fact, made hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars from credit cards. I am the type of card holder that the credit card companies hate! Let me teach you a few rules to live by for financial success in the area of debt management.Keep Debt to a Minimum! You should retrain yourself to consider all debt as bad. You should strive each month to pay off as much of your debt as possible. If the payment due is $20 then pay $30. Check this out:... More About: Finances , Principles
All the Air and Water in the World
2008-03-02 19:02:00 "He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion."~ Jeremiah 10:12I found this picture at a site entitled The Thinking Blogger. Allegedly, this is all of the air and water in the world drawn to scale and shown next to the earth. On the left, you see all of the air in the world (5,140 trillion tonnes) gathered into a ball at sea-level density. On the right, you see all of the water in the world (1.4087 billion cubic kilometers) which includes sea water, ice, lakes, rivers, ground water, clouds, etc.At first, I thought that the water seemed way too small. After all, isn't the earth 70% water. However, I heard a great explanation. The earth is not 70% water. Stupid me. The earth is 70% covered in water. Water only covers the surface of the earth and compared to the mass of the earth it is relatively small! Very interesting. More About: Humor , World , The World

A Forty-three-Year Fugitive from Justice
2008-02-29 12:48:00 I heard an interesting debate on the radio yesterday morning during my commute to work. It was about an elderly man who was arrested recently.About fifty years ago, Willie Parker committed armed robbery. He was apprehended, tried, and summarily sentenced to 40 years in prison. Willie served just ten of those years when he decided to walk off of a work detail and escape. For years he evaded the law and was not found until this past week.Authorities apprehended the 81-year-old Willie Parker, on charges of armed robbery that he committed fifty years ago. This man now has severe medical problems including diabetes, a heart problem, hepatitis, and a recent stroke. He has not to anyone's knowledge been a threat to society in any way since his escape and some even argue that he never actually shot anyone during his armed robbery.His case has been sent before a judge to decide whether or not he should be sentenced to serve the rest of his time in prison.

Peace, Justice, and the Islamic Way of Life
2008-02-26 12:28:00 Sunday night I finished reading the amazing book entitled Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. I was able to view and come to a greater understanding of the Islamic culture from a firsthand narrative. The book is an autobiography of a woman who endured some of the most horrific treatment that you might imagine all in the name of Islam. Skeptics have tried to argue that her situation was an isolated incident, but she contends that she watched the same maltreatments take place to every other girl around her as she grew up.Although this book is non-fiction, it reads like a fictional storybook. Once I dove into the first chapter and began reading about her child-hood, I could not put the book down. The pages are filled with story after compelling story.I challenge anybody to read this book and then describe to me how Islam can be described as a religion of peace. Islam is not a religion of peace. If anything, it is a religion of oppression of women. It is a religion of brutality, mutilati... More About: Peace , Life , Justice , Discussion

Struggling Against The Angel of Death
More articles from this author:2008-02-23 17:07:00 As I continue to work at Arlington National Cemetery, I often hear amazing stories of love, valor, and heroism. It is no joke that Arlington National Cemetery truly is filled with thousands and thousands of real American heroes. If you are ever in the national capital area, I invite to take a walk through this garden of stones and contemplatively muse over the stories of honor and valor that rest within this place.Early this week, in fact, I heard a story that really made me stand in awe at the determination of one such soldier who served in World War II. His widow shared with us an amazing story that I will never forget.Late one night this lady was awakened in the middle of the night. Her husband was overseas fighting for our freedoms during the peak of World War II. She had heard no noise. The phone had not rang. There was nobody at the door. Yet something, she said, had awoken her and her heart was beating fast with worry for her husband.She crawled out of bed and spend t...
