Supreme Court Strikes Down Louisiana Abortion Restrictions

June 29, 2020 by Brent Hobbs

Quick thoughts on today’s Supreme Court decision striking down abortion restrictions (requiring doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospital): First and foremost I’m saddened by the result of this ruling. As someone strongly pro-life, I want every baby given an equal chance at life, and I believe that should be legally guaranteed. Many pro […]

No, Mr. White Supremacist, I’m Not ‘Ashamed of My Race’

June 15, 2020 by Brent Hobbs

“Are you ashamed of your race?” I was asked that about two years ago in an unexpected conversation with a white supremacist. He didn’t “wear a hood” he told me, but knew plenty of people who did. I didn’t know that was still a thing. Call me naive. How do I answer that question? Am […]

Would Your Church Consider Baptism Sunday? Fill the Tank on Easter

February 27, 2020 by Brent Hobbs

I’ve found that intentionally planning a baptism service, even during times we don’t have any candidates committed to be baptized has been a helpful way to start conversations about baptism within our church family. I’d recommend that your church consider Baptism Sunday this coming Easter Sunday, April 12. SBC President J.D. Greear and NAMB, along […]

February 20, 2020 by Brent Hobbs

Statement from Dr. David Uth regarding SBCPC 2020 February 19, 2020 Available at sbcpc.net. Direct link. On Tuesday, February 18, I learned that the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee voted to disallow the use of the 2020 SBC venue at the Orange County Convention Center for the 2020 Pastors’ Conference unless we adjust the program […]

The SBC Deserves Better: Another Executive Committee Faceplant

February 20, 2020 by Brent Hobbs

The purpose and most basic task of the SBC’s Executive Committee is “to act for the convention” between our Annual Meetings. Can we pause and think together about what that means – that the EC should act for the convention? There are multiple definitions of the word “for” but only one of those really makes sense […]

New Credentials Committee Outlines Submission Process

December 3, 2019 by Brent Hobbs

The Biblical Recorder reports that the new SBC Credentials Committee has announced a new online submission process to report church misconduct. This comes after the past Annual Meeting and the decisions by the messengers to rework the Credentials Committee’s process and function to allow them to conduct inquiries in the case of churches who are […]

H. B. Charles to Nominate Al Mohler for SBC President at 2020 Annual Meeting

October 31, 2019 by Brent Hobbs

This morning H. B. Charles, pastor of Shiloh Church in Jacksonville, Florida, announced that he intends to nominate Al Mohler for SBC President during the 2020 SBC Annual Meeting in Orlando. Dr. Mohler, president of SBTS, had been announced as a nominee for SBC President back in 2008, but eventually withdrew his name from consideration […]

A Resolution from Two Years Ago that Speaks to Our Present Reality

August 6, 2019 by Brent Hobbs

It’s not the time of year we would normally talk about resolutions. But I don’t think I ever posted this two years ago when our state convention passed it. Unanimously, by the way. This was months after the 2017 SBC when we ultimately passed a resolution condemning the Alt-right. Between the SBC’s actions in Phoenix […]

Trevin Wax explains #SBC19 Resolution Committee’s reasoning on Resolution 9

June 20, 2019 by Brent Hobbs

Trevin Wax, who served on this year’s Resolutions Committee, gave some thoughts yesterday on Resolution 9. There’s been some criticism of that resolution, which speaks to the issues of Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality. You can find the thread on Twitter here. I thought it would be helpful to compile the material here for ease […]

#SBC19 Registration Secretary Election – the most interesting choice among the officer elections

June 11, 2019 by Brent Hobbs

I’ve written already about the nominations expected for President, First and Second Vice President, and Recording Secretary. That leaves what may be the most interesting election of #SBC19 – for registration secretary.  Two nominees have been announced at this point. Don Currence, who has served in the role for two years after working closely for […]

#SBC19: Recording secretary election – two good choices for the SBC

June 10, 2019 by Brent Hobbs

Yesterday I wrote about the two elections for First and Second Vice President – Marshal Ausberry and Noe Garcia, respectively. Both nominees the only announced for those roles.  The election for recording secretary is a different story. Two nominees have been announced so far. John Yeats, executive director of the Missouri Baptist Convention will be […]
