As a child I learned that the money Baptists give to missions is one of the best ways to give and be assured the assistance we give makes all [...]

A Challenge to the Powers-That-Be in the SBC

35 comments

Mike Ebert, the Vice President for C0mmunications at NAMB, logged in yesterday to call me on the carpet for my criticisms of Kevin Ezell, the president of the North American Mission Board.  He is an effective PR director; adept at dealing with those who challenge Dr Ezell.  However, I would like to use his comments [...]

A Great Commission Suggestion: Pink Slip the ERLC

343 comments

It isn’t personal, its business! Great Commission business.  I think it is time that the SBC de-funds the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and gives those funds to the IMB to increase our missionary force around the world. I know that Richard Land is one of the bogeymen of the Baptist left.  They disdain him [...]

I wish I could go to the SBC.  Alas, Orlando is a 3-week wagon journey from where I live and fording the rivers is tough this time of year.  It would be fun to meet many of you who interact on this blog and authors of other blogs I check out through the awesome meta-feed [...]

8 comments

At 10a.m. I thought chaos would rule the day.  At 3p.m. I was even more sure of it.  But by 11p.m., in a room full of cheerful brethren and exhausted, honorable leaders, I was more firm in my Southern Baptist devotion than ever.  This was the first day of the 2009 SBC Annual Meeting. The [...]

Who will be the next president of the SBC?

4 comments

Nathan Finn shared his thoughts: Johnny Hunt or Frank Cox. Avery Willis could theoretically pull it off, especially if there’s a run-off, but I don’t think he will. Les Puryear will garner more support than some seem to think, but I don’t think it will be enough to win. Bill Wagner and Wiley Drake stand [...]
