I'm thankful you are...Thank you for your posts. I'm thankful you are home and better. <br /><br />I have attended Southern Baptist churches my whole life, first with my parents and then on my own. I came to saving faith at the age of 5, but I did not know anything about the doctrines of grace (or that I had in some small nuances been taught opposite of them) until I met my husband at a Southern Baptist seminary. At the time, he had been attending church only about half of his life but was already so very articulate about doctrines of grace that I knew what he was saying was true. I have since studied Scripture myself, of course, but the encouraging thing about "stumbling" upon those who believe and teach the doctrines of grace at that time was finding out that many of our professors also believed--and this made their teaching on any subject powerful and effective. <br /><br />My husband is now a staff member at a smallish Southern Baptist church where he and one other staffer are biblically bent toward doctrines of grace and the pastor is not so much. Sometimes I wonder if we will find our place in ministry, a good fit, that is, but for now we know we are called where we are, and we want to be faithful. Thank you again for posting!Christinahttp://scnoreply@blogger.com
