I know that many of you are social media friends with Bart Barber. He is in Dakar, Senegal and having great trouble making connections to Ziguinchor, the ministry base from which his work with the Bayot people launches. He does amazing work there - God is at work among that UPG. He nearly missed his flight, then the Dakar to Zig flight was booked. The boat that sometime runs isn't running. He needs to get to Zig and he is having trouble. He's incredibly patient and may already have found a way, I don't know. Once you are in country, Internet becomes spotty at best. Pray for Bart as he … [Read more...] about Pray for Bart Barber

I'm headed out in the AM for points east. I won't be back till 2016. And when I get back I'll be headed overseas pretty quickly. I am planning to spend a lot of time neglecting SBC Voices over the next two to three weeks. I may write a post now and again. So, here are the rules. If you have a post, post it yourself. Wait at least 5 or 6 hours (or more) after someone else has posted. Scheduling a post isn't that hard. On the publish screen, set the date and time you want it to publish, then hit the schedule button. Each contributor is free to moderate comments as he sees fit. I may … [Read more...] about Hey Contributors, Fire When Ready

I have to admit, I laughed. A friend sent me a meme the other night, a picture of someone who has been less than kind to me, one that was poking some fun at him. I didn't feel too bad about laughing in private. This guy has published posts misrepresenting me and my beliefs. He has circulated memes much like that with my picture that distorted my views and he did it to belittle me. So, it was very easy to take some pleasure when someone turned the tables on him. The bully got bullied. Ha ha. I didn't create the pic or publish it. I just enjoyed it. But I have a small problem with my … [Read more...] about But He Deserved It, Didn’t He?

Knowing that the good folks of SBC Voices tend to sometimes skip the main course (the article) and go right to dessert (the comment section), let me make some clarifications at the start of this post, which hopefully will be read by all! 1. I love Liberty University. My second son attended there, and I tried to get his younger brother and sister to follow in his footsteps. His little brother got involved in a band and didn't want to leave town. His little sister rebelled against her father's wishes and last May graduated with honors from that bastion of liberalism, Cedarville University. … [Read more...] about God, Guns, and Muslims: Jerry Falwell, Jr’s Intemperate Statement

I used to keep count, but somewhere along the line I stopped. School choir concerts. I had to sit through several of them a year for my three sons and my daughter - a father's burden to bear. I'd figure out how many I had left until they were all done. Then, my third son got married, had a kid, and realized his band's album sales were not going to threaten Casting Crowns' place at the top of the charts, so he decided to finish college. In a couple of weeks he will be done with college, which made this Christmas concert the very last one I will ever have to attend. Of course, there's grandkids, … [Read more...] about A Jesus-Filled Christless Christmas Celebration

I saw this today on a tweet from CB Scott. Yes, I am a fan of Marco Rubio, but I believe I'd get excited to hear any presidential candidate give as cogent a testimony of his or her faith as he gave here. I could micro-critique a few things, I suppose, but this sounded like it could come from the local First Baptist Church pulpit, not an Iowa political event! It's about 11 minutes long and well worth the listen. I originally saw it on a Oneness Pentecostal site, (only the last 5 minutes), but found this longer version. It is a campaign stop in Iowa - a gathering of believers. I think it was in … [Read more...] about Marco Rubio Shares His Faith

I have done a daily devotional for my church for the last two years, encouraging them to read the Bible. I use the popular format of an OT reading, one from the NT, and a selection from Psalms and Proverbs each day. I work (at least) a day ahead and so I was working on tomorrow's reading this morning. The NT reading is 1 Peter 3. Did you know that God gave Peter a vision of the future when social media would take over and a prophetic word for those of us who engage in it? Of course, I'm kidding. People don't change. I am a little skeptical (perhaps its my old codger reflex kicking in) when … [Read more...] about Peter’s Prophecy about Social Media
