HUH!?! Part 2

OK, I thought October was Pastor and Staff appreciation month. But apparently it is Southern Baptists don’t make any sense month. First we had the article by Richard Land (see below) now we have this proposal by the SCBC Executive Board.
In response to my motion on the floor of the SCBC last year of moving [...]

HUH!?!

I think I know what Richard Land is saying here. But I got to be honest, it was hard to figure it out. Basically, I think he is saying don’t vote for Mike Huckabee, even though you might agree 100% with him, understanding he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance…. But rather vote for someone almost [...]

Is The Convention Building Out of Touch?

In speaking with a few pastors recently, I won’t say it was a bunch because it wasn’t. I heard several comments on how the Convention Building is out of touch with the average church. Much was made of the recent Vision07 conference and its subsequent demise. One does wonder about these things. I feel confident [...]

Thoughts From the Special Convention

I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the special called convention for Jim Austin (see previous post). First off, there were over 440 messengers there. Not the 1000 or so for a regular convention, but not bad. Also, it wasn’t just people from the Midlands either. I saw people from the Upstate, the Coast [...]

Jim Austin’s Special Convention… And Beyond

With Jim Austin’s pending convention coming up on the 26th at Riverland Hills Baptist Church, a few questions have crossed my mind.1. Will there be anyone there? It seems to me, that we should push for as many folks to be there as possible. Or else it may look like his election was illegitimate.2. Will [...]

Could Hammond’s Election Signal Something BIG?

Geoff Hammond is going to be NAMB’s new head. BUT, what is more interesting than his pedigree and his resume is his current position. He is a church planter. This is big! Someone who has a true heart for the missions that he is about to lead. So much so, that the article in BP [...]
