• Want to see a GCR? Idea #2

  
  SBC Voices — Authority: 119
  While I think the SBC could benefit from a little shake-up in how the convention is structured I am a little disappointed that most GCR conversations have to do with structural change. Changing the structure can be good, but that does not get to the heart of the problem.  How do we get to the heart of the problem? ...

• Homosexuality and Your Church — Part Two

  
  SBC Voices — Authority: 119
  Whether you know it or not, members of your church are ministering to Christians who struggle with homosexuality. Like the struggle itself, their ministry to those who suffer may be hidden, but it goes on, fueled by love. They are parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, cousins, and friends of your church ...

Frank Turk has not signed and said why. What are your thoughts? Would you feel comfortable signing this declaration? Why or ...

  sbcIMPACT life :: theology :: church :: ministry :: missions :: worship — Authority: 115
  The Baptist Identity movement has been one of the driving forces that energized the Baptist blogging world (both ways). Some bloggers have consistently advocated that the key (or a key) to the renewal of the SBC is a reaffirmation of those distinctive doctrines and practices that have marked Baptist churches ...

• Developing a heart for the lost

  
  SBC Voices — Authority: 119
  Today while meeting with my Pastor and Sunday School director, we observed that our church is not good at welcoming new faces. At times, people visit us and they do not feel welcome. I suggested this is a symptom of not having a heart for the lost. When by the grace of God a lost person shows up at our church, ...

• Friday Mishmash by Peter Lumpkins

  
  SBC Tomorrow — Authority: 118
  Below are some unrelated items of interest over the past couple weeks.  No particular order.  Just interesting--at least to me. 1 Last January, I committed an unpardonable sin in the eyes of some young Southern Baptists:  I wrote a post which raised questions concerning what I still believe to be ...

• Just a Reminder

  
  SBC Voices — Authority: 119
  I have been praying for the GCR and I had to remind myself of something. The GCR is not a magic bullet for the current problems in the SBC, nor is it a magic bullet for the future.  It is one piece of a long, hard process.  I believe it is a step in the right direction, but that is all. The GCR is not a magic ...

• Missional Living- More than a thought

  
  SBC Voices — Authority: 119
  This is the end of a post I wrote late last night… Here are a few ways God has specifically challenged me with missional living: 1) To be an example to my small group about what it means to live on mission for Jesus. 2) To engage the Mormons in my own community. I have been here since February and I haven’t ...

• Destruction Therapy, the Cooperative Program and the Southern Baptist Convention by Peter Lumpkins

  
  SBC Tomorrow — Authority: 118
  About a year or so ago, Fox News ran a story on a therapeutic phenomenon known as Destruction Therapy (// link ). The therapeutic idea is both primitive and simple:  "fix" yourself by freely destroying something else (// link ).  Of interest to me is the possible parallel between the proposed method ...

• Engaging Your Neighbor

  
  SBC Voices — Authority: 119
  The phrase “engaging your culture” is often used and in my opinion, misused.  We aren’t trying to engage a culture, but rather a people within a culture.  I know I am somewhat arguing semantics, but I think rephrasing it to “engage your neighbor” helps put things into perspective.  We are trying to win ...

• Future Debates

  
  SBC Voices — Authority: 119
  Here are some debate topics that I am looking for some people to partake in. 1) The place of Calvinism in the SBC 2) Tongues: A Private Prayer Language? And I believe Dave Miller and I are going to debate Dispensationalism or more generally, Eschatological Hermeneutics… But I might have to wait until he gets done ...

• Baptist Calvinism is Exclusively Five Point Calvinism: Or is it? by Peter Lumpkins

  
  SBC Tomorrow — Authority: 118
       A fundamental truism concerning Calvinism among Founders Ministries advocates is, real Calvinism is definitively five-point Calvinism .  Indeed their view many times reduces to "One may be Calvinistic in his or her theology and not hold to five-point Calvinism, but one is not a genuine Calvinist who does ...

• What Am I Doing?

  
  SBC Today — Authority: 411
  This is the question I asked myself as I penned my last post . Since 2006, when I entered the blogosphere, I have constantly defended entity heads along with the trustees and never once identified them in a post of disagreement. I have been one that entered this debate based on the one premise–the entity heads ...
