Q&A: Primary Issues Related to Executive Committee’s Handling of Guidepost Contract

September 25, 2021 by Guest Blogger

At last week’s Executive Committee meeting there were a lot of terms and concepts involved that represent unfamiliar territory for most of us as Southern Baptists. This Q&A is designed to address the most pressing questions we face as the EC Officers and SA Task Force work this week for an agreement on how to […]

The Future of Southern Baptists Hangs by a Thread (by Malcolm Yarnell)

September 24, 2021 by Guest Blogger

I first noticed William Lane Craig refashion divine eternity and then adopt a heterodox Christology. Now Craig argues Genesis 1-11 is “mytho-history, not to be taken literally,” denies Genesis 3 records the first sin, and says cherubim are “fantasy.” He admits the genealogies give the early text an historical aura, but dismisses them as “artificial […]

Observations from a Task Force Member

September 21, 2021 by Guest Blogger

If you are a Southern Baptist, you need to understand what has just happened in your Executive Committee.  They have flagrantly defied the overwhelming will of the Messengers. A few dozen folks in Nashville decided they know better than the 17,000 Messengers appointed by the churches. Waiver of privilege was not something the Messengers delegated […]

When will Rhetoric become Reality? (Southern Baptist Convention, we’re talking to you) – by Dave Pittman

September 19, 2021 by Guest Blogger

Delegates at the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting this summer voted overwhelmingly to create a task force to oversee an independent investigation into the denomination’s handling of sexual abuse. The resolution calls for the newly elected SBC president, Alabama pastor Ed Litton, to appoint the task force, which will head up a review of allegations […]

“Pray Or Die!” an Urgent Call to Prayer Dallas, Ft. Worth and the State of Texas (by Erik Vance)

September 6, 2021 by Guest Blogger

For those who don’t know me personally but randomly find me on social media, I often get the question: “What does your social media name mean? Pray Or Die!” Some people understand immediately and others find it to be a little harsh without a complete understanding. In 2006 when I was a college student in […]

Suggested Ethics for Online Theological Discourse, Part 2 (Phillip Powers)

August 19, 2021 by Guest Blogger

In my previous post, I began to outline the general contours of a biblical ethic for theological discourse. The ability to discuss questions of theology and biblical interpretation Christianly, especially where there is disagreement, is a primary indication of a person’s maturity in Christ. However, in this current cultural climate, godly virtues like humility, gentleness, […]

Why I Am Glad I Joined the Conservative Baptist Network (Greg Davidson)

July 21, 2021 by Guest Blogger

(Editor’s Note: We often open our pages to counterpoint posts. Greg is an “SBC Voice” and even though none of us on the Voices team are CBN and generally oppose the organization strongly, we are willing to give opposing views.)  I am a California pastor who loves pastoring in the great state of California with […]

An Infant of The Conservative Resurgence (by Jonathan Raffini)

June 24, 2021 by Guest Blogger

As a convention of churches we learned a lot through the Conservative Resurgence, but ultimately the two primary questions answered during that time period were “Is the Bible true?” and “Is the Bible fully sufficient for guiding churches and the SBC?” The answer to those two questions was, and still is, a resounding YES! So if that answer is yes in such a bold manner, why have we been experiencing so many issues in the past three to five years over a variety of topics within the convention?

A Call to Unity (by Greg Davidson)

June 23, 2021 by Guest Blogger

I love Southern Baptists. They are some of the most compassionate, forgiving, and understanding people on the face of the earth. I love the fact that there are so many that hate injustice. I like others have felt the cruel tentacles of injustice. I grew up in the Jim Crow south. My dad was a […]

Why the Loss for an SBC Splinter Group Was Greater Than Just a Few Hundred Votes (by Michael Linton)

June 23, 2021 by Guest Blogger

I know there is concern about the rise of Populist* Fundamentalism in the SBC and the push of a certain group to gain power. While this isn’t going to be an exhaustive list, and I could be wrong in my optimism, I believe the tide is pretty obviously away from that group. It is also […]

Seven Reflections on #SBC21 (by Jon Glass)

June 21, 2021 by Guest Blogger

I’ve had the opportunity to attend 11 SBC Annual Meetings. This year was different than all the rest. It was the largest in 25 years with over 15,700 messengers. This was an historic meeting and I’m glad I was in the room. If you weren’t there and you followed along in the media, online, or […]

Reflections on #SBC21 (by Aaron Swain)

June 20, 2021 by Guest Blogger

I returned late Wednesday night from a whirlwind trip to Nashville, TN where I attended the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention. This is the sixth annual meeting that I have attended in person. My first was in 2005. This was the largest annual meeting in 25 years, having a total of 15,726 messengers […]
