The SBC Plodder cuts through the chatter and gets to the heart of things! Our North American Mission Board has endured considerable criticism for supporting church plants that also have a relationship with some church planting network.

Here is the cast: Nick Fury is Jesus – The consummate leader, always leading with perfect intentions and precise calculations. Captain America is Christians – The one with upright character and unmatched integrity. (Let’s pretend that Christians exemplify this regularly.)

“One Woman Man” – Examining Bart Barber’s Univira Concept

61 comments

Bart Barber has advanced an interpretation of the biblical qualification for becoming an elder or a deacon in the church, based on the ancient concept of the univira, that a man must be “the husband of one wife” or more literally, a “one-woman man.”  According to Bart, this is not a uniquely  Barberian concept, but was [...]

A Calvinist Anthem

97 comments

Though it’s quieted down a lot regarding Lifeway’s The Gospel Project, I thought I’d stoke the fires again.

45 comments

I saw a link to this today and thought that it was an amazing asset for bloggers. It is a listing of graphic insults from Martin Luther’s writings.  I do not know who compiled this list, but this is a great boon for us. Instead of making up our own insults, we can just generate [...]

Proverbs for Christian Blogging: Am I Sowing Discord?

10 comments

A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech, winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, points with his finger, with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord; therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing. There are six things that the LORD hates, [...]

Divorce, Remarriage and Ministry: What is a “Husband of One Wife?”

63 comments

“I want to stick to the biblical standard.  I don’t think we should compromise the Bible to let divorced men serve as deacons.” I was having a discussion with my deacons a few years ago.  Our church has had an unwritten rule for a long time that divorced men were ineligible to serve as deacons [...]
