Churches Of Christ/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can intelligently and respectfully discuss MOST thoughtful questions pertaining to doctrinal issues within the Churches of Christ. I feel myself to be especially adept when answering questions regarding the Gospel of Christ and baptism. I always strive to be humble, realizing that there are some issues that are respectfully and honorably debatable. I realize that the Bible is perfect and able to provide any truth that the seeker of truth is after. At the same time I realize that though I am very conscientious about pointing people in the right direction, I am still a fallible human being and certainly capable of making mistakes. I will always give my opinion AS my opinion and strive not to state as fact something which cannot be supported by good logic or a good thorough study through the scriptures.
Experience in the area
I am a minister within the Churches of Christ. I have been preaching for 14 years and have been on five separate mission trips to the Volta Region of Ghana, West Africa. I have preached the Gospel to literally thousands of people and it is my passion to do so.
Education/Credentials
I graduated with honors from Atkins High School in Atkins, AR in 1984. I went on to get my Bible degree at Harding University in Searcy, AR where I graduated Cum Laude.

Yes I would. The church was never meant to adopt an exclusive name. So who is the church? Christ's church are those who have been purchased out of the world by His blood sacrifice after having come to
2009-11-16 Rom 16:16, Greetings with Kisses:
Yes we do by the Spirit of that request. We hug, shake hands and sometimes do give kisses. But is Paul giving us a command to kiss people who would be EXTREMELY uncomfortable to either give or receive
2009-11-16 Bible Study:
Personally, I feel, CENI (Command, Example, and Necessary Inference), is what common sense dictates. God gave His Word to lead us in His absence. We should follow it with the same DEEPLY respectful attitude
2009-11-04 Women in Authority:
This is a good question and one I have personally struggled with. It is an especially difficult subject in light of our cultural upbringing. Our country's women as a whole are accustomed to equality
