President Obama Takes Brokenness to the Bank

8 comments

“This is something that, you know, we’ve talked about over the years and she, (Michelle) you know, she feels the same way, she feels the same way that I do. And that is that, in the end the values that I care most deeply about and she cares most deeply about is how we treat [...]

Blogs I Like; Blogs I…Well…Not So Much!

19 comments

There are blogs I love and other blogs I don’t really like. Maybe you care about my opinions, perhaps you don’t. But I spent a lot of time on the road recently.  Blogging is way to big a part of my life and takes up way too much of my limited brain capacity, so I [...]

A RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT OBAMA’S DECISION TO ENDORSE SAME-SEX MARRIAGES (By Wm. Dwight McKissic, Sr.)

59 comments

1.  President Obama has betrayed the Bible and the Black Church with his endorsement of same-sex marriage. The Bible is crystal clear on this subject, and the Black Church strongly opposes same-sex marriage. His endorsement is an inadvertent attack on the Christian Faith. America is now a candidate for the same judgment received by Sodom [...]

HEALING THE “LAND”: AN APOLOGY I CAN FULLY ACCEPT (By Wm. Dwight McKissic, Sr.)

44 comments

Editor: When I read about Richard Land’s recent meeting and his apology, my first thought was to wonder what Pastor Dwight McKissic thought about it.  I was thrilled that he offered this post with his reflections for our consideration.  Thank you, Dwight! God said, “If My people who are called by My name will humble [...]

Why I’m FOR Being AGAINST

16 comments

I’ve heard the mantra for at least a decade now: “Southern Baptists are known more for the things we are AGAINST than the things we are FOR!” It’s a pretty decent applause line for a sermon. I’ve probably used it myself somewhere along the way. But I’m beginning to rethink the logic behind it, for [...]

Meditations of a Woven Theologian

11 comments

I am hesitant to call myself a Theologian, it sounds a little arrogant, so I am going to let you judge whether or not I deserve that title.  I am not sure how one gets the qualifications.  That is not the point of my blog, so you can drop a quick comment, but let’s not focus [...]

A Letter To Missions Volunteers

23 comments

One of the more interesting areas of missions growth in recent years is the influx of volunteers to assist in the international missions efforts.  Volunteers have always been around, but the rise of the mega-church has precipitated a parallel increase in the number of people heading to the field on their own dimes. The phrase [...]

Turning “Helps” Into Idolatry

6 comments

Does God wound thy spirit, does he make it sick, and dost thou seek to unlawful means for help?  Dost thou go to thy company, to music, to good cheer, to relieve thee?  Oh this provokes God against thee!…those that in trouble of conscience seek for carnal helps, by their vain tampering only render their [...]

Deafness, Language, Assumptions, and Judges 2:10

8 comments

Written on behalf of someone I know…. Even though I attended church until I was 16, I didn’t really know the Christmas story.  I was clueless about prophecies and fulfillments, about Herod’s political intrigues, about the communicative appearances of angels for Mary, Joseph, and Zechariah.  Imperial decrees regarding taxation and census meant nothing to me; [...]

Understanding Antinomy: A Key to Peace in the Calvinism Debate?

34 comments

The Bible is an interesting book.  It is one story authored over thousands of years that tells us the history of redemption by God in Christ.  It is the wisdom and guidance of God, a love story for sinful human beings; inspired, infallible and inerrant.  The Bible is all of that. And it is also, [...]

Will Calvinism Shed A Tier?

250 comments

Dr. Albert Mohler is to be credited for promoting a helpful theological grid which assigns to each doctrine a level of importance for Christian faith and practice. While his theological triage framework is conceptually sound, one cannot help but wonder about the convenience with which he somewhat avoids the placement of Calvinism. In the above article, [...]

Divorce, Remarriage and Ministry: A Summary of Biblical Teachings on Divorce

77 comments

There is both remarkable consistency and a clear progression in the biblical teaching on divorce.  Moses, in Deuteronomy 24:1-4 laid a foundation which Jesus built on in his teaching, presented in Matthew (19:3-12), Mark (10:2-12) and Luke (16:18) .  Then, Paul put the finishing touches on that teaching, developing it to its most complete treatment [...]
