Hey y'all

Hello everyone

I came across this site the other day while searching for something online. It looks like a good place to learn about different things. It sure is a big site!
I have always been in Baptist (mostly SBC here) churches but have been looking for a good Reformed church near us with expository preaching and was told about a PCA church here. So we've been attending there and enjoying it.. I am trying to learn and understand about the differences.. I'm glad I came upon this site.

God bless,
Rachel

When heresy rises in an evangelical body, it is never frank and open. It always begins by skulking, and assuming a disguise. Its advocates, when together, boast of great improvements, and congratulate one another on having gone greatly beyond the ‘old dead orthodoxy,’ and on having left behind many of its antiquated errors: but when taxed with deviations from the received faith, they complain of the unreasonableness of their accusers, as they ‘differ from it only in words.’ This has been the standing course of errorists ever since the apostolic age. Samuel Miller, Introductory essay, The Articles of the Synod of Dort (1841).

Welcome! Glad you're here.

You like grits? I have been in the south for a long time, and I still haven't developed a taste for those things.
