I am excited to share with you that as of this evening I have accepted an invitation to speak at the first annual Small Church Conference to be held at Lewisville Baptist Church in Lewisville, North Carolina in March of 2008. I am tentatively scheduled to speak on Friday night at 7pm on [...]
I am passionate about my favorite worship song, “Amazing Grace.” In my opinion, there is simply no better song that captures the heart of the gospel than this great hymn of the faith. I love, however, our attempts to communicate this incredible song in a contemporary, relevant manner. Chris Tomlin’s new rendition of this song [...]
I’ve posted new pictures, and they are incredibly cute in my opinion. Click here to see them.
You should take a look at this article from Baptist Press. This is a great example of outside the box thinking which is leading people into the kingdom of God. I am excited about this story describing how one of our missionaries is working with passion and patience to reach forgotten [...]
I’ve posted some new sermon audio, if you are interested. You can find this new message, entitled “Give”, by clicking here.
I am a registered Republican. I’ve never made that much of a secret. I despise, however, the sometimes blind allegiance that the right wing evangelical block gives to the Republican Party. We have often simply toed the line (status quo, if you will) without giving thought to the ramifications of our positions. Regardless of where [...]
That’s a good question to which I don’t have the answer. ABP, however, recently published a story considering that topic and their spotlight on Rick Warren was particularly enlightening, it seems to me. I’ve reproduced it below. You can see the story, in its entirety, by clicking here.
Rick Warren, pastor [...]
While I was in San Antonio for the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting I was approached by Don Hinkle who is the editor of the Missouri Baptist Convention paper entitled “The Pathway.” Hinkle asked me if I would be interested in working with The Pathway as [...]
As of today this blog is officially 3 years old. Some days it’s hard to believe that it’s already been 3 years and some days it’s hard to believe it’s only been 3 years and then some days it’s just flat amazing that over the course of 3 years I could come up with [...]
Many of you know that I’m leading a team from our church on a mission trip in Richland Center, Wisconsin. Unfortunately I have neither strong cell phone coverage or good internet connections. As such I’m sitting, with Nick our youth pastor, in the parking lot of a Culver’s restaraunt using their [...]
In keeping with Baptist’s historical love of invigorating dialogue, Drs. Steve Lemke (of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary) and Mark Rathel (my former Theology prof. from The Baptist College of Florida) prove to be both more than capable historians and extremely competent theologians in this example of “Point – Counterpoint” that [...]
If you are interested in a significant article that details the involvement of bloggers in the blog world as it relates to the SBC, then you need to read this article by Michael Erard as it is found in the Texas Observer. It is, from my view, very accurate as well [...]
