Field Report: Lancaster Baptist Church Christmas Service
Brother ApatheticOrWhatever was kind enough to travel all the way to Lancaster Baptist Church this Christmas to bring us a report of the goings on there during their Sunday service. Suit? Check. White shirt? Check. Out of style tie? Check. KJV? Uncheck. I couldn’t seem to find one so I had to grab another version [...]
Signs of The Times

Promotional Materials From 1958

After all, color printing and graphic design are how Satan draws people [...]
Power Shifts
Fundamentalists ain’t what they used to be. Fundamentalism is exactly the same as it has always been. Once upon a time, fundamentalism as a movement embraced a wide-flung and surprisingly diverse group of people. While standards and holiness (especially involving alcohol) were a big deal, they were not by far the biggest deal. In the [...]
