Winning The Real Battle At Church: What Holds Your Church Together During Troubled Times
The following information was sent to me and I thought it might interest some of our SBC Voices readers: There is a new discipleship resource available titled, Winning The Real Battle At Church: What Holds Your Church Together During Troubled Times (190 pages, 8 ½ by 11, softcover, BHC Publishing, 2008). Designed for individual, small […]
Calling For Feeds
I’ve worked through the feed recovery process, and I have about 95% of the feeds back into the aggregations pages. The final 5% would require a lot of backtracking and mining old emails, which I most likely will never get around to doing. So, I need your help. As always, you can send me information […]
Ben Cole Leaving The SBC?
I just read the soon to be notorious “exit strategy” post from Benjamin Cole on SBC Outpost. He lists a few final observations about the Southern Baptist Convention which were interesting to read. I would like to have heard his thoughts on the changing nature of communications within the convention, largely due to blogs. It […]
Temporary Problems With The SBC BLog Feeds
Over the next few weeks I’ll be working to restore many of the feeds here at SBC Voices. The story is a little complicated, but my failure to backup has created some issues. I will be manually re-tagging the feeds, which will restore everything to its proper category. A few people have emailed me to […]
Taking A Break From Baptist Buzz
One quick programing note: I’ve removed the Baptist Buzz feature from the main page and sidebar. Here’s why. I’m going to be really busy the next few months: final Seminary classes, new baby, extra work at church, etc. There are 150+ new blog posts every day here at SBC Voices – that equals about 10 […]
SBC Indy 2008 Is History … At least for me
I’m back from the convention, partially because of church tonight and partially because it was a very discouraging experience for me. My 1st Convention Experience I won’t air my criticisms here, at least not until I’ve had more time to pray. But I am freshly convicted of the priority of godliness, humility and no-spin-truth-telling in […]
SBC Indy Down 1,300 Messengers Over 4 Years
What story does these numbers tell? I was curious about the difference between the 2004 SBC Indy and the 2008 SBC Indy. Here are the best numbers I could find, you write the story. 2004 – “about 8,500” via 2004 BP News story 2008 – “7,196” via 2008 BP News Blog So, there were roughly […]
What I’m Doing Right Now
See you at the convention.
Who will be the next president of the SBC?
Nathan Finn shared his thoughts: Johnny Hunt or Frank Cox. Avery Willis could theoretically pull it off, especially if there’s a run-off, but I don’t think he will. Les Puryear will garner more support than some seem to think, but I don’t think it will be enough to win. Bill Wagner and Wiley Drake stand […]
