Video: Senior Adult Choir Hip Hop

by

Update: We've confirmed this video was from the FBC of Forth Smith Arkansas (SBC). See details in the comments. Just ran across this video. (HT Cawleyblog) From the description it sounds like an object lesson video for a youth retreat. They had the church choir sing popular hip hip music. Too bad it only says FBC but doesn't give the town. Anyone recognize your church members? If you're in a hurry, go to 4:20 for the best part. Several versions of this video are circulating on Youtube, this one looks like the original. You could also call it rapping choir video or church choir … [Read more...] about Video: Senior Adult Choir Hip Hop

Now Something You’ll Really Like {I Hope}

by

Since I've been out of Seminary, I tend to get a little restless. Especially when my kids get to bed and my wife is tired of talking about theology. That is when I plot - scheme - strategize - imagine - new ways to take over the Internet. My latest project has the potential to be the best yet. Incredibly useful Beautiful design Search engine magnetism Open ended possibilities Minimal on-going admin It's called My Christian Blogs and it's an aggregator similar to Alltop or PopUrls - except it's only for sites written from a Christian worldview. To start, I built the … [Read more...] about Now Something You’ll Really Like {I Hope}

Thanks for the TIP, but what’s the POINT?

by

This post is a response to "We Have Reached A Tipping Point" by Dr. Alvin Reid as posted (here, here, here, & here). WE should not overlook this one fact - the SBC has a history of self correction. It's never been pretty, and it's often been too late. But as a denomination we've always found a way to change.  For example: Missionary slave holders - Really? Denominational debts - Never a good plan. Unbelievers training future pastors - Duh? There are many more examples, but the "SBC is evil" line is really old news. This post is not about the effects of the Fall on religious … [Read more...] about Thanks for the TIP, but what’s the POINT?

Comments On Between The Times – We’ll Take Credit

by

Our SBC Blog Madness was open only to blogs that allowed reader comments. That ruled out some great blogs, like Albert Mohler and Between The Times. Now, by the providence of God, at least one of those two has become a "real" blog. I'm taking credit and will brag about it to anyone who will listen. If you repeat my story it will become fact. If not, at least enjoy the new feature at one the best SBC blogs. … [Read more...] about Comments On Between The Times – We’ll Take Credit

65 Reasons Why I Love The Southern Baptist Convention – Really!

by

On a blog like this, we tend to be self-critical to a fault. But behind all our talk about making the SBC better is an unspoken assumption - we still love our denomination and especially its people. So, this post is my attempt at penance for all the nasty things I've every thought about being the SBC. Feel free to add to the list in the comments, just be nice or I'll ban you for life. Why I Love The SBC The Gospel always has, and always will be the main thing. We can point fingers at ourselves. We are not afraid to offer public repentance. We trust the … [Read more...] about 65 Reasons Why I Love The Southern Baptist Convention – Really!

Internal SBC Memo Revealed

by

This morning we received a leaked email that must be revealed. It appears to be the communication between two senior level leaders inside our convention. After confirming the authenticity of this memo, we have decided to post it here in full. The names have been edited to avoid lawsuits. Update: It turns out this memo was in truth a work of fiction by a certain Trevin Wax. The content of the memo has no connection with anything real in any sense of the word real. Rest assured, good readers, that we will be more careful with our editorial integrity in the future. My dearest W------- Though … [Read more...] about Internal SBC Memo Revealed
