Did a sovereign God choose before the foundation of the world those chosen for Heaven and permit all others to be consigned to Hell?&lt;p&gt;

    <title>Bush Should be Kicked Out of His Church!</title>
    <description>
    &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cstnews.com/bm/issues-facing-christians-today-common-sense-for-today/baptist-history-cstnews/bush-should-be-kicked-out-of-his-church.shtml&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.cstnews.com/bm/bm~pix/questionbush~s200x200.jpg&quot;
       alt=&quot;QuestionsForBush&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; hspace=&quot;15&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

I voted for George Bush and have supported many of his positions; however, recently I realized that if I were his pastor, I would have no choice but to confront his heresy and unchristian living, request his repentance and if he refused, have him voted out of our membership!

    <title>Must Church Leaders Always Obey the Law?</title>
    <description>
Government is about control, and officials cannot abide ordinary citizens telling them, “No, I won’t obey that law.” According to Francis Schaffer, if you affirm that government must be obeyed under all circumstances then you have made government your god and you are a slave. It amounts to state worship.&lt;p&gt;

    <title>Did Trinity Baptist Leadership Cover-up the Bob Gray Mess?</title>
    <description>
According to my informants, rumors regarding Gray have been circulating for many years. It’s been reported to me that several Baptist leaders took the position that the rumors were “all lies.” I have enormous respect for those men but how do they know “it was all lies.”?&lt;p&gt;

    <title>A Christians Unconventional View of Terror</title>
    <description>
I am not a hand-wringing, soft-spoken, lips-pursing pacifist! I believe in personal and national self-defense. But I have an unconventional view of terrorism.&lt;p&gt;

    <title>Catholic Bishop More Principled than Baptist Pastors!</title>
    <description>
It is past time to revive that discarded, disabused practice of church discipline and use it against erring laymen and pastors. If not, how can we call ourselves “Bible believing,&quot; Bible practicing Baptists?&lt;p&gt;

    <title>Why Would a Baptist Church Hire an Accused Child Molester as a Counselor? Part 2</title>
    <description>
I have observed a “cover-up” mentality in many large Baptist churches that seems to be systemic. They emphasize the inerrancy of the Bible but are very weak on implementing Biblical procedures of church discipline. Why boast about preaching the very Word of God if it is not practiced in personal lives and in church procedures?&lt;p&gt;
