Originally published at From Law to Grace on June 11, 2012   Who would have thunk it. My mom has become a Baptist blog fanatic. A lifelong Southern Baptist who is in her late sixties, my mom began reading my blog several months ago. From there, it did not take her long to find the SBC blogs -- as in Voices, Tomorrow and Today. That's a good thing, because she has not had anything new to read on my blog in the last 3 1/2 weeks. On Saturday she commented that I hadn't published any new articles as of late.  I told her I had taken a break from blogging (more on that in a minute) and … [Read more...] about Blogging, Baptist Battles & Burnout

When did Spencer Kimball, LDS President, state that curses against Black people are no longer in effect? Baptist Press cites Tal Davis, a former interfaith witness consultant with the North American Mission Board and now Executive Vice President of MarketFaith Ministries of Tallahassee, FL, making such a claim. Can Davis or anyone else document this claim? According to Joanna Brooks, a Mormon author:  “To my knowledge, no Church leader has ever stood at the pulpit and formally renounced the idea that Cain or Ham are the source of racial Blackness and the priesthood ban.  Perceptive … [Read more...] about MORMON RACIST DOCUMENTS AND A SBC RESOLUTION By Wm.

I have a couple of friends whom I'll call Edna and George.  "Friends" might be too strong of a word; "acquaintances for whom I hold mostly affectionate yet mixed feelings" would be better. Let me introduce them to you by telling you some of their flaws. Judgmental. Demanding. Unteachable. Moralizers. Egocentric. Superior. Arrogant. Basically, they really don't seem to make a great first, second, fifth, or tenth impression.  For the most part, I think their main issue is one of legalism; they see the world in black and white.  They believe with all their hearts that they are … [Read more...] about The Benefits of Being a Legalist

One day, I was walking through the woods near a ravine, and I heard someone calling for help. I went over to the ravine, and saw that the rope bridge had fallen in, and that one rope was all that was holding the remains from plummeting into the river. I saw a man desperately clinging to the remains of the bridge, screaming for help. I also noticed that he was wearing a shirt that said "Lottie Moon is my hero!", so I called out to him "Do you need help? It looks difficult, but I could never let a Baptist brother fall into the ravine!" He responded "Certainly! And yes, I am a Southern … [Read more...] about Ravines and Baptists
