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 [...]

Church, Are We Doing This Right?

38 comments

I was listening to Francis Chan, and he made an interesting statement.  If you started a church today and you had no knowledge of a church, never been to a church and never seen a church, all you had was the New Testament, what would your church look like?  That got me thinking, what would a [...]

Until I get to visit my grandson. Then I realize how little it really matters. I’ll get back to it when I get back to it.

Enjoying What Christ Purchased

11 comments

There is a phrase that I use quite frequently in my preaching, writing, and praying before services.  In some form or fashion I often say that the Christian life is a quest to enjoy what Christ has already purchased.  I doubt that the phrase is original with me (so little is original with me—that’s why [...]

Why “Great Commission Baptists” Matters to Me

54 comments

The end draweth nigh.  Well, I don’t know about that end, but the end of the discussion on whether we should accept the recommendation of the task force to adopt the unofficial moniker “Great Commission Baptists” to be used by Southern Baptists.  We’ve hashed and rehashed it and then rehashed it again.  We’ve had no [...]

Josh King is the lead pastor of Sachse’s First Baptist Church in Sachse, TX, and has a blog called JoWiKi.  I am grateful for this post which he shared with us. Social media is a strange beast.

“One Thing Changed” – An Ancient Solution to our Modern Problems?

22 comments

It may come as a surprise to folks who see me go a little nuts on April Fools day, but I generally don’t joke about anything that has to do with God. Christians?  We are a funny people and joking about our foibles seems appropriate. The Godhead in Glory seems a bit beyond the scope [...]

Family is an interesting thing.  For the most part, you don’t pick your family, you show up into the world with people that stay in your life and you have no say in the matter.  The church can be like that.  We become part of the family and look around and see who else is [...]

NAMB Deserves Support by Dr. Jerry Rankin

16 comments

I have been given permission to post Dr. Rankin’s entire blog here at SBC Voices. I am grateful for Dr. Rankin’s service to the SBC. His “voice” is one that has earned a hearing in Southern Baptist Life. With all the controversy that has surrounded NAMB the past few years I thought Dr. Rankin’s blog [...]

Instituting Calvinball in the SBC (by Chris Roberts)

23 comments

(Chris Roberts has a brilliant suggestion for the current conflict in the SBC.  Let’s turn it into a game – a competition.  Then, there can be a clear winner and loser! My blood is already pumping faster at the prospect. Chris blogs at “Seek the Holy.”) History has seen fit to bless humanity with two [...]

“At the Statue of Jesus, Turn Left”

10 comments

As more decades descend upon my timeline, my confusion about the perfect randomness of God, as He demonstrates His all-knowingness, does not unravel, but remains tightly wound, safely bound by trust. I often do not know how or why His will is what it is, and my clarity remains unclear on the entire “God allows” [...]

Should Liberty invite Mormons to speak at their graduation(s)? I try to answer this question using Liberty’s own words.
