Are Southern Baptists blind followers of the Republican party? Apparently not.
The KC Buzz Blog notes that The Pathway has taken on state Republican Senator Charlie Shields.
“Missouri Senate Majority Leader Charlie Shields (right) is getting painted as an enemy of religious conservatives. In a recent edition of The Pathway, a publication of the Missouri Baptist […]
As a matter of discipline, I wanted to use the internet to do some follow-up research on pastors and churches in the SBC that I was exposed to during the Convention last week in Greensboro.
One such search led me to Johnson Ferry Baptist Church where I found that they have an art gallery with a […]
Do you have some good books in your library you could part with? Do you want to help faculty and staff at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary get back on their bibliophilic feet? In the latest PreachingNow, Dr. Duduit tells us how we can:
It’s been almost a year since Hurricane Katrina devastated the […]
Dr. Mohler has begun posting on his highly-anticipated new blog Conventional Thinking.
It is a blog that talks about SBC issues.
And no, for those who speculate that Dr. Mohler ran home from Greensboro upset, and sat down and came up with this idea in response to how the convention went, he has actually had […]
If you are a fellow Southern Baptist and you want to put the Southern Baptist Convention squabbles into proper perspective, you should follow the PCUSA convention being held this week. In addition to opening the door further for gay-clergy, they also elected a woman to be their head bishop. And while those may be bad enough, they are also working on gender-inclusive language for the Trinity (no more “patriarchal” Father/Son/Spirit stuff).
Professor Ray van Neste has a great article on the importance of DOING expository preaching rather than just TALKING about the importance of expository preaching. I highly encourage you go over HERE to his blog to read the full article. Here is a snippet:
There was [at the Southern Baptist Convention in Greensboro] great earnestness […]
HERE is a fairly recent (May 27, 2006) link to a National Public Radio commentary audio-clip that talks about Southern Baptists and the issue of schooling. Missourian Roger Moran is mentioned.
Printed below is a brief portion of the transcript of the audio:

This song comes from a new cd of music from Sovereign Grace music. Very good. Take a look at it HERE.
Columnist E. J. Dionne gives his thoughts on what the election of Frank Page means.
He says:
“In the Southern Baptist election, Page, pastor of First Baptist Church in Taylors, S.C., defeated two candidates more closely associated with the convention’s conservative leadership, the Rev. Ronnie Floyd of Springdale, Ark., and the Rev. Jerry Sutton of Nashville. The […]
Late Tuesday night I was among a handful of gadflies loitering in the lobby of the Greensboro Sheraton Hotel when a good friend, Georgia evangelist Keith Fordham, told me I had just missed a legend.
Seconds before I arrived Keith said the legendary George Beverly Shea had just left the lobby. I would have loved to […]
Our friend Tim Challies has a good analysis of Dr. Mohler’s session on Larry King Live last night (Thursday June 15).
FYI: I know that some at the convention told me that they are pretty new to the reading of blogs. Let me recommend that a good way to jump in with both feet […]
Turn out the lights, the party’s over
I am not going to reveal what I think about the outcome of the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting in Greensboro, N.C.
Not yet.
There is still too much smoke lingering over the battlefield and it will take a little time for it to clear before an honest assessment can be […]
This is not leadership. This is schoolyard bullying.
938 – The number of miles from Jefferson City, Missouri, to Greensboro, N.C.
11,800 – The number of registered messengers at last year’s annual meeting in Nashville, Tenn.
11,600 – The last number I saw of registered messengers at this year’s annual meeting.
1 – The number of hecklers to yell something during a business session about Jerry […]
