Convening and Vacating (Part 3)

This post seems a little disjointed, but there is a lot of diverse background to this story, so stay with me. When I was 8-9 years old, we lived in Alexandria, Indiana, where my whole family was working for Bill Gaither. My aunt was a backup singer for the Bill Gaither Trio, my uncle was [...]

Wisdom from the Left Coast

I feel confident in asserting that no one who has been involved in the various blogs relating to the politics of the Southern Baptist Convention over the last two years is without an opinion about California Director of Missions and IMB trustee Dr. Jerry Corbaley.
Those opinions are surely widely varied, and in most cases determined [...]

Baptist Misidentity

For some time now, I have chosen not to comment on Grace and Truth to You. While I am standing by that decision, today’s post there demands a response. It is time that someone pointed out the absolute ridiculousness that is being promoted, and the personal animosity that makes the very name of the blog [...]

A Call to Prayer for a Fellow Blogger

Peter Lumpkins has posted this morning that tragedy has visited the life of fellow blogger Debbie Kaufman, as her daughter’s husband was killed in an accident.
Please pray that the God of all comfort will reveal Himself powerfully to Mrs. Kaufman and her family in the days to come.

Caelan Cross is Cancer-free!

I’ve just received word that the pathology report on the lymph node doctors removed for biopsy from young Caelan Cross was completely clean! Praise the Lord!
Many people around the country prayed for just this result, and now we are giving thanks to a gracious God, who has granted this request. I certainly rejoice in this [...]

Vote Early, Vote Often

I haven’t had any weekend fun of my own to post lately, but run over to Scott’s place and take part in his little memory test. It’ll be big fun!
My weekends have been anything but fun lately, but with one week to go, I think I may just survive my first term in Liberty University’s [...]

Pray for Caelan

I’ve been too busy with church, school, and SBC Today to do any posting here lately, but I’m grateful that so many still stop by every day, just in case. I want to urge my readers to pray for the Cross family.
I’ve gotten to know Alan the way many of you have, through blog comments. [...]

The End (Thanks to a New Beginning)

You Supply the Caption XXV will be the final caption post I publish here. I began this series in June of 2007 with a tribute to Purgatorio, the blog hosted by Marc Heinrich. Purgatorio is one of the funniest and most insightful blogs about our Christian sub-culture that I have ever seen, and his “You [...]

Shock and Aw(ful)

I thought that I had lost the ability to be shocked by anything I read on SBC-related blogs. I’ve seen so many accusations tossed about, heard so many things in so many phone conversations, that I really thought I had reached the place where nothing would even surprise me, much less shock me. That was [...]
