I haven’t had time to enter into the fray here, so I thought I’d drop by leave a Christmas message here. I know our audience isn’t always motivated unless there’s something to fight about, but this is what I’m writing and working on these days. Do you ever wonder during all the hullaballoo of the […]

This was originally posted in 2016, but since heretics like Jay Adkins continue to troll social media promoting Die Hard as a Christmas Movie, people who stand for truth, justice, and the ho-ho-ho way have to continue to stand.  I read a post the other day differentiating trolling and taking a prophetic stand. Trolling is […]

I am emerging from my personal hibernation to address an issue and give some information about SBC Voices. I am coming out of probably the worst 2-year period in my life – I won’t bother to regale you with all the details, but COVID hit me hard and hit my church hard. Two years ago, […]

Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary has no formal ties to the SBC, but has always had an informal relationship with our convention. In my younger days, before the changes brought by the CR at our six official seminaries, many pastors encouraged young men called to the ministry to go MABTS for theological education because it was […]

The Executive Committee has an email for its president that is published and is available to Southern Baptists to use. It is my understanding that in this maelstrom, Ronnie Floyd is isolating himself from social media and tends to only listen to his supporters, those who tell him he’s doing a great job. There have […]

Various state conventions and groups in states have taken unprecedented action to state their displeasure with the Executive Committee’s action to thumb their nose at the messengers of the 2021 SBC Annual Meeting and refuse to take appropriate action to deal with sexual abuse. I would guess that my list here is not complete, but […]

We are used to the entity leaders supporting one another or at least staying silent about one another. The actions of the Executive Committee last year were so egregious that the seminary presidents actually sent a representative to speak out against the power-grab by the CBN-led officers whose new business plan would have upended our […]

I have heard a lot of people advocating for what I have called the nuclear option – a vote in Anaheim to remove EVERY SINGLE trustee at the EC who votes to oppose the will of the messengers and refuses to support an agreement to give full support to best practices for the Sexual Abuse […]

Rob Collingsworth posted a Twitter thread for the ages today. I wish I had time before the Executive Committee meeting to ask him to make it into a post for you to read here, but there isn’t time. He explains the issues comprehensively. I would encourage you to read the entire thread.   Time for […]

I was watching the machinations of the Executive Committee Tuesday as they tried to reach an agreement about how to proceed on the recommendations of the Sexual Abuse Task Force. There was a recommendation that was going to let the staff handle negotiations in coordination with the EC officers, working out an agreement with Guidepost […]

I was watching the Executive Committee meeting yesterday when in the middle of the confusing debate, Ronnie Floyd stood up and sought to get the trustees to vote down all the amendments that had been offered and go with the original motion to let the officers and staff hammer out an agreement on dealing with the task force. During his impassioned plea to the trustees, he made this claim, “I have prayed and fasted about this.”
