“G.O.S.P.E.L.” An Old Fogey LIKES It!

by

I had a playful argument with my daughter yesterday about whether is such a thing as Christian rap.  It is hard enough for me to go and hear my son's Christian rock band (earplugs help), but I'm an old fogey and rap just ain't my cup o' tea.  She reminded me that I was, in fact, a hopelessly old codger who just doesn't get it. Then, I saw this on Timmy Brister's blog today. I was left with one conclusion - I was wrong.  This is one of the best presentations of the gospel you are going to hear.   G.O.S.P.E.L. from Humble Beast Records on Vimeo. Powerful gospel … [Read more...] about “G.O.S.P.E.L.” An Old Fogey LIKES It!

Blog Madness 2011: You Are the Selection Committee

by

Blog Madness is back for 2011.  Over the next few weeks, while some little basketball tournament is being played, we are going to be holding our own "favorite bloggers" tournament, with a prize for the winner of LESS THAN $1 Million.  (Lot's less - mostly just the joy of being selected).

So, tell, who are your favorite BAPTIST blogs (yes, only fully immersed blogs are … [Read more...] about Blog Madness 2011: You Are the Selection Committee

Call Me Stupid: Let’s Find a “Regular Guy” for 2012 Pastor’s Conference President

by

I had an idea last night that I want to share.  Was it a good idea?  Well, I guess you good folks will be the judge of that.  You may tell met that it is a hare-brained idea.  But, I'm going to put it out there anyway. Here it is: let's run a regular guy, a pastor of a normal Baptist church, as the president of the Pastor's Conference for 2012. I have to admit, I'm looking forward to "Aspire,"  the 2011 SBC Pastor's Conference.  There are some speakers I am excited about hearing.  I don't share the concerns of some of the regulars here at SBC Voices, but am of the opinion that it will be … [Read more...] about Call Me Stupid: Let’s Find a “Regular Guy” for 2012 Pastor’s Conference President

It’s Deja Vu All Over Again – The Traditional/Contemporary Battle Flares Again!

by

You are probably aware that a new controversy has broken out about the future of the SBC.  Actually, no.  A very long-standing conflagration has burst forth from the depths again.  For many years, the SBC has been a traditionalist haven.  The Pastor's conference was one white man in a blue suit followed by another white man in a blue suit followed by another white man in a blue.  They preached typical traditional Southern Baptist sermons - always alliterated as God intended! There is a new breeze blowing in the SBC.  This year at the SBC Pastor's Conference, you will probably see more … [Read more...] about It’s Deja Vu All Over Again – The Traditional/Contemporary Battle Flares Again!

An Open Letter to Bryant Wright and the Committee on Nominations: Let’s Paint with Color This Year

by

To President Bryant Wright and the Members of the SBC Committee on Nominations, Race has been a hot topic in the SBC recently.  Dwight McKissic offered a motion in Orlando last June to include racism along with homosexuality as a sin that will eliminate a church from SBC participation.  Johnny Hunt referred the motion to the Executive Committee who has declined to recommend the change to the c0nstitution.   According to one person, the belief is that such a move would be redundant.  Our stand against racism and bigotry is already encoded in the Baptist Faith and Message statement and … [Read more...] about An Open Letter to Bryant Wright and the Committee on Nominations: Let’s Paint with Color This Year

The “New and Improved” SBC Voices

by

I put out an appeal for help in posting at SBC Voices and the response was gratifying and overwhelming.  I want to tell you a little about what we want this site to become – “the vision thing.”  Then, I want to introduce you to our new team of regular contributors.  Of course, we will also have guest bloggers on a regular basis. The Plan When I got into blogging back in 2006, it was a Wild West shootout.  There were good guys and bad guys, our side against their side.  I joined right in.  But I always had this nagging feeling that the way we communicated with one another just was not … [Read more...] about The “New and Improved” SBC Voices

Two Questions for the Readers of SBC Voices

by

1)  Who is going to Phoenix? I had a great time last year in Orlando, getting to know people I had blogged with (and against).  I discovered that rumors that Tim Rogers has horns are greatly exaggerated.  I found out that CB Scott is a real person, not a myth.  It was great fun. This year, of course, Phoenix is a little longer trip for most of us.  But I am wondering who is planning to be there and who wants to hang out.  My goal would be to get a wave going during one of the entity presentations.  We'll see. Who is going to be there? 2)  Do you guys like the nested comments or … [Read more...] about Two Questions for the Readers of SBC Voices
