Jerry Nash is the Director of Missions of the Harmony Baptist Association in Trenton, FL. He is, I’m sure, a man of God who loves Jesus and serves him faithfully. But in the article he published at SBC Today on Monday, entitled “Hold the Hearse, I Have an Idea!” he demonstrates to me a spirit of […]
Judgment Will Fall in Two Weeks!
Biblical scholar and theological genius Harold Camping has demonstrated with devastating exegetical precision that the Rapture will occur on May 21, 2011, followed by five months of judgment on earth with the end of the world occurring on October 21, 2011. You can read the tract here, but the logic is brilliant beyond disputation. I would like […]
Putting a Splint on a SPLINTERED SBC!
God saves a wide variety of people from a wide variety of backgrounds. He then places in us his Holy Spirit to guide us in the process of becoming like Christ and preparing us for eternal glory. One day, all who have truly repented of their sins and trusted Jesus as Savior and Lord will […]
SPLINTERED! Can Anything Stop the Fall of the SBC?
When a great tree splinters, it loses the strength to stand and eventually it crashes to the ground. Is that the future of the Southern Baptist Convention? There can be little doubt that the SBC is splintering. In a Baptist Press article yesterday, Gary D. Myers referenced a series of articles by Steve Lemke, the […]
The Church Shines Brightest in the Darkest Night
On August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast and laid waste to the area. In 2006, 2007 and 2008, I went on mission trips to the area with my church and its youth group. We went to Pascagoula, MS; Bay St. Louis, MS; and then to New Orleans itself. In 2007, I […]
“BloggerAID”: We Can Help Alabama Tornado Victims

The Spoken WORD: “Hypochristians” by Karness
I’ve been introduced to something new in the last couple of months, something called “spoken word” poetry. It’s not sappy rhymes like you find on greeting cards and funeral programs, but gritty observations about life set in a lyrical form. You can find a lot of it on Youtube and Vimeo. Much of it, of […]

Les Puryear’s Post: “An Apology to SBC Reformed Pastors”
Les Puryear posted this today, and I thought some of you would like to see it. It was posted on SBC View. Since a couple of you posted in response to Les’ earlier comments (and those of another blogger), I thought you might like to see his latest response. I appreciate Les’ humility in issuing […]
“Soul Surfer” A Review
This review is about 3 weeks late, but better late than never. I’m not sure how much longer this movie will be in theaters, but if it is still playing near you, take the family and go see it. Last week, my wife and I decided to take in a movie on date night, and […]

I’m not a twitter devotee or anything, but I thought this was interesting and moving. Igniter media puts out some great videos.
“The Old Rugged Cross” – A Good Friday Message
On a hill far away stood an old Rugged Cross, The emblem of suffering and shame. But I love that old cross, where the dearest and best, For a world of lost sinners was slain. So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down. I will cling to the […]
