I have attended Okla Bapt U and am finishing up at Midwestern Sem. After all that I will probably be leaving the SBC for a Reformed Bible church. No lie, 5 pointer Bible Church! Choices are limited here even though I live in Jerusalem, Oklahoma, USA; I have the pick of any number of "Something Good is Going to Happen" churches. Leaving the SBC after attending a SBC seminary is not a rarity. I know a couple other SW grads now outside of SBC life. Neither they, or I, were disingenuous. I think we all love the CP. I just can’t find a church that isn’t slipping towards ‘me’ centeredness. I would go back if I found a church that was commited to God centeredness.Ron Suarezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17426399746259269026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-73532089629942129262009-09-24T18:23:28.076-07:002009-09-24T18:23:28.076-07:00He speaks truth.

It fits all your requirements. We stumbled upon ours a year ago (from a big box seeker-sensitive model) and couldn't be more blessed by the solid expository preaching and avoidance of trendiness and fads of every kind. Our pastor just started a Weds. night series on Dispensationalism that is A+++. And you don't know what it means, as a parent, to have the youth pastor say, without hesitation, that he's a fundamentalist.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700962695127146890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-73156696057072728072009-09-24T11:10:27.559-07:002009-09-24T11:10:27.559-07:00Oh Dan.
