A Brief History of SBC Presidents

March 24, 2021 by Luke Holmes

The 2021 Presidential election of the Southern Baptist Convention looks to be one of the most contested in recent history.  But I think we all would do well to remember the history of the position, how elections were handled, and why it mattered. The SBC President is the man who represents, in some part, the […]

Fences Aren’t For Sitting

February 27, 2021 by Luke Holmes

If you travel through the country side of Oklahoma, and prob other places too, there is one thing you can be certain to see. They go by different names depending on where you live. I’ve seen them called stone cribs, corner posts, or the ever descriptive “rock piles.”  Every so often at the corner of […]

Baptists You Should Know: EW Perry

February 19, 2021 by Luke Holmes

It would be understandable if E.W. Perry was nervous as a silence fell over the hushed crowd. He had stood before large congregations of all sizes for most of his life. But never before had someone like him stood before a group like this. The seasoned preacher did what he always did. He opened his […]

A brief history of the ERLC

February 3, 2021 by Luke Holmes

When the SBC was formed in 1845, it started with two main entities, the “Board of Domestic Missions”  and the Foreign Mission Board, later to become NAMB and the IMB.  Over time the entity list has grown to include 6 seminaries, Guidestone, Lifeway, and the ERLC.

In Praise of Plow Horses

January 15, 2021 by Luke Holmes

As a young boy I read a book about the race horse “Man of War.” As a small child growing up in the big city, I didn’t know anything about horses, and as a baptist I especially didn’t know about horse racing.  But the book told me all I needed to know about the infamous […]

Baptists You Should Know: Bertha Smith

December 6, 2020 by Luke Holmes

In 1887 the famous missionary Lottie Moon was struggling on the mission field in China.  She knew that the harvest was great and she was doing her best to reap the harvest. But she also knew that more workers were needed.  In that year Moon wrote a letter requesting funds for help on the field.  […]

The history of the SBC includes thousands of missionaries, pastors, workers, and others who often get lost to history.  My goal is to highlight a few of those people in order that we can be encouraged and inspired by their lives and sacrifice.  Milledge Theron Rankin was born on July 28, 1894, in Newberry, South […]

Discussion over our name is not a new thing

September 20, 2020 by Luke Holmes

If you follow Southern Baptist news (and why wouldn’t you) then you are aware that recently the discussion about changing the name of the SBC to “Great Commission Baptists” has been brought back to the forefront.  One of the main reasons for this is the announcement of the theme for 2021 Annual Meeting in Nashville.  […]

Baptists You Should Know, B. Frank Belvin and the Jesus Road

August 11, 2020 by Luke Holmes

The history of the SBC includes thousands of missionaries, pastors, workers, and others who often get lost to history.  My goal is to highlight a few of those people in order that we can be encouraged and inspired by their lives and sacrifice. “I’ll skin every white man I can.”  B. Frank Belvin hated white […]
