Important Mp3 Download For Southern Baptists

by

If you're interested in the direction of the SBC, then these downloads should be a priority. In my opinion, Dr. Akin and the SEBTS will be setting the direction of the convention more than any other group in the coming years. Doug Baker, of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, interviewed the Between The Times writers for the Insight podcast. The interview is broken down into three parts. The audio (MP3) are: Interview with Between the Times Part 1 Part I – The Recipients of the Great Commission; The Use of Means and a Great Commission Effort; The Great Commission – a … [Read more...] about Important Mp3 Download For Southern Baptists

Writers Wanted: Join SBC Voices

by

SBC Voices is just under one year old, and up to this point we've posted very little content of our own.

Calling For Feeds

by

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 about blogs that should be included in SBC Voices. My goal is to include as many different "SBC Voices" as possible. Here is the information that I need: blog URL name of blogger state of blogger SBC church any other categories that I tag including: denominational employees, ministers, … [Read more...] about Calling For Feeds

Ben Cole Leaving The SBC?

by

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 seems that our increasingly level access to information will chip away at some of the very issues which he's been protesting. Update: Since SBC Outpost is now closed, I've salvaged the text of Ben Cole's "Exit Strategy" post from 12 July 2008. Posting it here is not … [Read more...] about Ben Cole Leaving The SBC?

SBC Indy 2008 Is History … At least for me

by

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 my own life. I think the best summation of what I observed at the convention was written by Dr. Donal Whitney. On his website is an article titled THE ALMOST INEVITABLE RUIN OF EVERY MINISTER . . . AND HOW TO AVOID IT. This afternoon I printed this article … [Read more...] about SBC Indy 2008 Is History … At least for me

SBC Indy Down 1,300 Messengers Over 4 Years

by

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 1,304 fewer messengers in the same city, only four years later. That's around a 15% drop in attendance. Any theories? … [Read more...] about SBC Indy Down 1,300 Messengers Over 4 Years
