First Baptist Church - Clarksville,Ar.

I write about what I see and hear. If I see a black or white horse and tell you the correct color, I haven't been judgmental, I have merely made an observation. Whether or not I am member of a Church or not plays no part in my observations. I went to FBC and saw one man singing. I want FBC to grow as much as anyone. It could be a positive thing in an increasingly negative Johnson County. I saw the Africa Mission collection slip. I wondered how much money is being spent here to help local people. Where's the video of FBC accomplishments locally? The water give-away is an advertisement for your Church. What does FBC? I am the newcomer, I am the visitor. Here's your feedback, do with it what you want and can. Feed and clothe the poor? Visit the sick and imprisioned? Campaign against abortion and pornography? Help drug addicts or the abused? Campaign to fill the political offices with conservative lawnmakerS? Promote modesty? We need a Town Hall meeting every Sunday to discuss what we are going to do here in this County, not Africa. My honesty will certainly anger some but maybe someone will get mad enough to listen.

FBC/Clarksville

On my Yahoo 360 I wrote about going to Church Sunday with my family. We are fairly simple, traditional Christians. Our politics is conservative Republican. The FBC was moved from Cherry Street to Crawford a few years ago. It was thought to be a local missionary type Baptist Church with a strong local outreach program in mind. Somehow the original vision was lost. The common people came and soon left because they felt uncomfortable and unwelcomed. Where are the food/shelter/clothing projects once talked about? Are there no problems here in Johnson County to work on? Will our glory in Heaven be based on watching a video of a former pastor working in Africa? Will a preacher from here ever go somewhere else and tell people from away about how the FBC Clarksville saved 30,000 souls here? What programs will he show on DVD about what we did here? There are 2 services, were both full of people singing the songs that they know? Yes, the children are the future but at the present the "white-hairs" financially support the FBC. Part-time positions being paid full-time wages in voluntary commitments. Listen to the people, I heard sad noises and low grumbling from inside the FBC and I am an outsider. If I heard no singing but yours, why can't you hear the sadness?
