• Brittany Griner: ESPN gets close to key question

  
  — Authority:
  Truth be told, I still think that the question I asked a few weeks ago remains one of the most interesting questions one can ask about that big story that keeps unfolding down in Waco: “So, how did Brittney Griner end up at Baylor?” That’s an interesting question for Griner. That’s an interesting question for ...

• This is what is wrong with the Church today

  
  The Thinking Americanist — Authority: 144
  One of the biggest things that is wrong with the Church today is apostasy. A classic example is this below, this was written some woman who had some sort of “spiritual crisis.”: 4. Contemplative Spirituality Okay, here’s where I get in trouble. One of the contemporary church’s problems is its ...

• In post-denominational age, what’s in a name?

  
  — Authority:
  Joe Carter, our newest GetReligionista, referenced Southern Baptist name-change discussions in a post earlier this week. It’s a topic that GetReligion has tackled a time or two before — or more. I bring up the subject again because I came across a fascinating Miami Herald news-feature this week with this ...

• Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s Creed

  
  — Authority:
  The following is an excerpt from Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s first sermon at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, the church’s new location: “I would propose that the subject of the ministry in this house, as long as this platform shall stand, and as long as this house shall be frequented by worshippers, shall be the ...

• John Gill vs. Jesus Christ on the World of John 3:16

  
  — Authority:
  Thus far, weve compared three strict Calvinists--John Owen, Arthur W. Pink, and Francis Turretin--and presumably their understanding of John 3:16 (especially, the term translated "world") with the clear words of the Lord Jesus Himself. Lets offer another popular strict Calvinist theologian and author--John Gill ...

• Asking the Boy Scout questions that matter the most

  
  — Authority:
  If you know anything about the politics of gay rights, you know that there is absolutely nothing that the Boy Scouts of American can do right now that will not lead to major divisions in their organization. The key force that will cause a future split is, of course, the deep divide among mainstream religious [...]

• I Met a Bapterian Today, Not really!

  
  — Authority:
  While at a local LifeWay Christian bookstore today, I met an 82 year-old Christ follower.  We had a delightful conversation.  We talked life, church, denominations, and some infant baptism. We talked infant baptism because he told me he grew up Baptist and his father was a Baptist minister.  But he left his ...

• Francis Turretin vs. Jesus Christ on the World of John 3:16

  
  — Authority:
  Thus far, weve looked at John Owen and Arthur W. Pinks rendition of the word "world" in John 3:16. While some have logged on either denying it matters what the biblical text actually says (see here), others have falsely but desperately and incredibly claimed Im putting words in the authors mouth (e.g see here, here). ...

• Baptist Assembly what God might say to us

  
  — Authority:
  Among the reports and blogs about the Baptist Assembly and the theme of shining like stars I wonder what God might be saying to BUGB. What follows isn’t so much a blog as a mini sermon; not one I can...

• Why Ministers Leave

  
  — Authority:
  The typical pastor stays in a church for 3.6 years . This does not seem to offer much hope for any long-term vision for a local parish. Planning ahead seems futile from the outset. This discouraging number stems from a variety of issues. Some pastors, fresh out of seminary, attempt to revive a church that has already ...

• So, what do Southern Baptists have to do to get some ink?

  
  — Authority:
  A couple of years ago the Southern Baptist Convention explored the option of changing their name to better reflect the national and international nature of the denomination. I thought at the time that it might be helpful to change the name to the “The Episcopal Church” so that the national news media would finally ...

• Baptist Assembly - brief report

  
  — Authority:
  Assembly is now over for another year. It will be remembered as the Assembly where the Union appointed its first ever female General Secretary; Lynn Green. I’m in the fortunate position of knowing Lynn (our families have been caravanning together)....

• The Low-Grade Fever in the Southern Baptist Convention

  
  — Authority:
  Sometimes, it feels like the Southern Baptist Convention has a low-grade fever. We hover around 99 or 100 degrees, worried the fever could spike at any time. In my interactions with churches across North America, I don’t sense widespread division. But people do seem to be concerned, not about “bad guys” ...

• Baptist Assembly

  
  — Authority:
  The annual gathering of Baptists (well the BUGB part) starts today in Blackpool. Getting the tone right will be more of a challenge than usual. The last few months we have seen the painful process of redundancy for some BUGB...

• Bob Jones Universitys MACBETH witches wear dreadlocks

  
  — Authority:
  Above, the three witches of MACBETH, sporting dreadlocks. Today on Occupy the Microphone , we discussed Bob Jones Universitys newest production of MACBETH, which got a gushing (and what other kind is there?) endorsement from Sundays worshipful GREENVILLE NEWS. As I have complained before (about a half-million ...

• Abridging Schools of Thought, Tony Jones the Conservative, and The New Materialism

  
  — Authority:
  Jack Caputo criticizes those who abridge postmodern philosophy. It seems especially so when talking about theological proposals. I have listened to many of his lectures posted online and on more than once occasion he makes this sort of statement. (More on this later.) I understand. Caputo’s challenge is not unlike ...

• The Boy Scouts Seem Poised To End Their Ban On Gay Scouts, But Not On Gay Scout Leaders

  
  — Authority:
  The Boy Scouts of America; what a mess. After decades of being virulently anti-gay, they tease us with the idea that they might … they’re thinking about … they maybe will … one day … someday … think that gay Scouts are okay, but they don’t wanna make that decision just yet because, well, it’s a ...
