Ponders Baptist Church -

It is the observation of this church that the commandment to 'love the Lord with all your
mind' is routinely ignored by nearly all people, Christian and non-Christian alike. Those
who accept and profess Christ do so on an emotional basis for the most part, rather than
by application of any logical assessment. Those who reject Christ do so emotionally as
well, typically ignoring the historical, archaeological, scientific, and prophetic evidences
supporting the reality of Jesus. Although we respect the merits and necessity of heartfelt
emotion in the practice of religion (Theist or Atheist), it is our special calling to bring to
mind the basic aspects of why we believe what we believe. This is primarily a teaching
website.

We ask our visitors to critically examine the many pages of this website. If you decide to
explore, the links below will guide you through. Be warned, though. Emotions such as
anger and fear are often signs of a prior religious commitment (Theist or Atheist). Many
people are not personally equipped to handle challenges to their religion. Please proceed
only if you are able to accept that the direction of a poorly grounded bias may change
after open and honest study.
Ponders Avenue Baptist Church was founded sometime around 1900 and
remained in its northwest Atlanta location for over 60 years. As a response to the
civil rights movement of the 1960's and deteriorating conditions in the
surrounding neighborhoods, the church moved to Smyrna, Georgia, where it
remained from 1967 until 2007 as Ponders Baptist Church. At the time of this
writing, the church building still exists at the Smyrna location, but its Baptist
charter has ended. The purpose of this website is to fulfill at least a part of the
original charter of Ponders, and every Christian church, by teaching what the
Bible says about Jesus Christ
