| The
1963 BF&M committee chaired by Herschel Hobbs, then pastor
of the FBC of OK City, made two significant changes to the
1925 BF&M. First they added a few paragraphs to the preamble
to insure that the BF&M would not be used as a binding
creed. |

|
| Just
when I think that our national fundamentalist Southern Baptist
leaders couldn't possibly think of anything crazier to do,
they surprise me again! |
|
|
| When
I was growing up I remember the song, "Will the Circle
be Unbroken?" For Southern Baptists the circle broke
years ago and now we are seeing the circle being drawn in
tighter and tighter each year.

|
| The key question is not, “What would Jesus do?” but “What does the Bible say?” Southern Baptists said resoundingly June 14. |

|
| After
43 years of teaching Baptist theology to Baptists, I am bemused
(and certainly not amused) about some contemporary discussions
concerning E.Y. Mullins' place in our Baptist heritage. |

| The
adoption by the SBC in Orlando of the 2000 BFM will begin
a new step forward in the control strategy for the so-called "conservative resurgence" promoted by Fundamentalists. |

|
| The
Gospel of John records that a large number of Samaritans from
Sychar were making their way toward the Messiah when Jesus
focused the attention of his disciples on this group and said,
"I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They
are ripe for harvest." |

| My
grandmother was a preacher. After she was saved, that is,
at the age of 39. Prior to that she ran roadhouses, brothels,
and smuggled rum from Cuba. |

|
| What
makes a Baptist Baptist? The fact that any two Baptists might
give different responses in part of the answer. |
|
|
| It
is an honor for me to serve as one of the three chairpersons
of Texas Baptists Committed. I am proud to be an active member
of TBC and truly believe we would not have a free BGCT without
the work of David, Charles and Charlotte and the many members
of TBC. |
|
|
| One
point I have tried to make is where the office of pastor originated.
When I was editor of Biblical Illustrator back in the 80s,
I did some research on this that proved interesting.

person, male or female, is responsible to God, not human beings,
for God's call upon his or her life. |

|
| ORLANDO,
Fla.-Professors at Southern Baptist Convention seminaries
and employees of SBC agencies will be expected to affirm the
newly revised Baptist Faith & Message statement, SBC leaders
said after the document was adopted by SBC messengers June
14. |
|
|
| Protecting
a conservative culture was at the heart of the annual meeting
of the Southern Baptist Convention, not an uncommon move when
a religious body perceives itself endangered. |
|
|
| ORLANDO,
Fla. (ABP)-Southern Baptists declined to establish a committee
aimed at healing fissures between conservatives and moderates
in Baptist state conventions. |
|
|
| Almost
every speaker that paraded across the stage at the recent
Southern Baptist Convention meeting repeated the mantra, "We
are people of the Book." |
|
|
| COLUMBIA,
Mo. (ABP) - In his strongest remarks on record to date, a
longtime missions leader claimed conservatives gained control
of the Southern Baptist Convention through deception.
|
|
|
| I
have noticed the reverence some hold for certain icons and
relics. I am curious and respectful, but I do not establish
my theology or state my faith on reverence for relics. |
|
|
| Among
the changes to the "Baptist Faith and Message" statement
to be recommended to the Southern Baptist Convention in June
is the declaration that "the office of pastor is limited
to men as qualified by scripture."
|
|
|
| The
Bible itself displays tension over the issue of women in ministry,
and we therefore should not use it as a club to smack down
those of differing opinions. |
