Southern Baptist Bloggers In Their Own Words

by

I'm still experimenting with the Baptist Buzz Backlog and what format would best highlight the posts. Today, I give you Baptist Bloggers in their own words. The advice I receive generally falls into two categories: give up and let the para-church ministries reach these kids or throw money at them doing fun things with lots of give-aways. I’m not willing to do either one of those. Read Church-based College Ministry from sbc IMPACT! So, let us together thank many in the EC movement for their reminder of the importance of right behavior, but let us together endeavor to not miss the … [Read more...] about Southern Baptist Bloggers In Their Own Words

R. Albert Mohler Jr. Answers The Calvinism Criticism

by

Getting into politics is like inviting the whole world to clean your closet, or at least rummage around a bit. For better or worse, this holds true for Southern Baptist politics. In January they announced R. Albert Mohler Jr. would be nominated for Southern Baptist Convention President at the Annual Southern Baptist Meeting this June in Indianapolis, Indiana. (We need to shorten all those names!) The Anti-Mohlers wasted little time. Within a week, many questions were raised about his character, theology and leadership abilities. Most of this was excepted. What surprised me was the … [Read more...] about R. Albert Mohler Jr. Answers The Calvinism Criticism

Recipe For Baptist Buzz

by

So, what makes a blog post worthy of making my Baptist Buzz links? This whole project is still in the early stages; the official blog launch is still several weeks away. I’m still working out an exact formula, but here are my general principles. Has it generated comments? An easy way to measure a posts impact is reader reaction. Normally, I select posts with at least 10 comments. Although I make exceptions based on the other factors. Is this a substantive post? I’m looking for posts that require more than a quick scan. Despite the popularity of the snipe style posts – they are a … [Read more...] about Recipe For Baptist Buzz

Paige Patterson’s Story Of The Conservative Resurgence

by

Dr. Paige Patterson’s small book on the Conservative Resurgence is now online at BaptistTheology.org. It is a free PDF download: Anatomy of a Reformation Public images and portrayals notwithstanding, most conservatives do not enjoy controversy. Like everyone else, they wish to be loved and appreciated by everyone. But our understanding of the history of the impact of the uncritical use of critical methodologies upon the churches and their missions has led us to believe that faithfulness to Christ and to the revelation of God in Scripture is more important than human approval. Without … [Read more...] about Paige Patterson’s Story Of The Conservative Resurgence
