One of our contributors, Brandon Smith, is looking for a place to serve the Lord.  Maybe someone here has a contact or knows of a place where this young man can minister.  He has made several posts here, so you can read them and get a little bit of idea of his beliefs and passions.  He also blogs at Modern March, if you want to get a little better idea of who he is. He is getting married and will be moving to East Texas, the Tyler area, sometime between now and June.  He has five years of ministry experience as a youth pastor, an associate pastor and a church planter.  He has also been … [Read more...] about Helping a Friend: Brandon Smith is Looking for a Place to Serve

I’m going to try and “cut to the chase” in this post.  I want to talk about the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, but let us first begin with talking about the exciting topic of bricks. At the Billy Graham library there are individual bricks that folks walk on which have been brought together in such a way that they form a big cross (when looked at as a whole).  In other words, the particular bricks have been joined together under the unifying theme of the cross. Now, when we look at the O.T., we see many individual verses.  These verses are like the bricks at the Billy … [Read more...] about The Relationship Between the Old Testament & the New Testament

I know.  Insert your joke here... Seriously, I am looking for people who want to write for SBC Voices. I can offer you the same money I get (if you are good, I will double your salary!).  But the main thing I can offer you is an audience.  We have that at SBC Voices.  This is a very active website (less so in the last few days since I haven't been posting anything, of course).  People will read what you write. They will, of course, comment as well.  Our comment streams tend to get lively at times, out of control at other times.  I try to exert some measure of control, but the SBC … [Read more...] about I Need Help!

On April 14, I will have been a pastor in Iowa for twenty years.  I spent 14 1/2 years in Cedar Rapids and now have been in Sioux City for (you could probably do the math yourself) nearly 5 1/2 years.  Iowa has some pretty unpleasant winters (though Jeff Musgrave can probably tell stories that will make me feel like a Floridian). This morning when I drove my daughter to school, it was 11 degrees below zero - actual temps, not windchills. We had a pretty brutal storm on Monday, which dumped several inches of snow on us, which blew sideways in blizzard conditions. The snow let up during … [Read more...] about “Snowmageddon” and Why Your Theology Matters!

I am laying on the floor of my family room right now, hovering between Stage 1 and Stage 2 of influenza. Stage 1: I want to die. Please let me die. Stage 2: I guess I'm going to live, but I'm not that thrilled about it. Stage 3: Jimmy Stewart on the Bridge - I want to live again, Clarence. I want to live. Over the last week, as I have dipped in and out of Stage 1, I have done more of one thing than ever before. I've watched HGTV. I live in the same house I've lived in for 5 years and have no plans to move or to sell any time soon. But I have gotten engrossed in "House Hunters," "House … [Read more...] about House Hunting with Spoiled Brats

Watch this video. Planned Parenthood, New Jersey, counsels a man posing as a pimp and a woman who "works" for him how to skirt laws and get abortions and other services for girls as young as 14 who are working as prostitutes. The video is shocking, and not for the young or the weak of heart. But if anyone needs more evidence of the immorality or utter craven motives of Planned Parenthood, watch this video. What is shocking is how enthusiastic the Planned Parenthood worker is about advising this "pimp" on the ins and outs of skirting the law. She even gives advice about how to … [Read more...] about If Any Doubts Remain about Planned Parenthood…

So, are you having church Sunday night (if you normally do)?  Services cancelled?  A Super Bowl party on the church's big screen?  At Southern Hills Baptist Church, we will be having our regularly scheduled service at our regularly scheduled time.  Are we the last church in America that carries on as normal on Super Bowl Sunday night? I would love it if the only voice in my head was the still small voice of the Lord leading and guiding me.  But I have another voice there.  It's the voice of Lew Miller.  I grew up in a preacher's home - one who had some pretty strong beliefs about some … [Read more...] about Church or Super Bowl?
