Quick notes on the breakfast(over 260 crowded into the limited space we had reserved): I have never heard Mark Dever better. The Lord enabled him to speak with his characteristic clarity and passion and the text (Romans 9-10) was wonderfully explained and applied. He asked the question that many…
Back in February I predicted that this year’s SBC would draw more younger messengers than in recent history. If today’s pastors’s conference participation is any indication, that is certainly true. In the two break-out sessions that I attended this morning the average age of those attending seemed considerably younger…
I just heard that Dr. Al Mohler had emergency eye surgery today at the Duke Medical complex. He has had eye difficulties for years and I do not know the nature of this procedure. He is still scheduled to speak at the pastors’ conference on Monday. Read the entry…
Phriday is for fotos. Or something like that. At any rate, you can find some excellent and interesting photographs from various younger bloggers on Fridays. Check out the work of Joe Thorn, Steve McCoy and Timmy Brister. In another life I used to be something of a shutterbug, myself….
With the announcement of Jerry Sutton as a third candidate for the presidency of the SBC the interest, dialogue and speculation about how that election will go has greatly increased. Here are some good sources of information about it. Marty Duren has an interview with Sutton that helps compare…

The Florida Baptist Witness recently asked 15 Southern Baptist “leaders and activists” to answer this question: “What do you hope will be the single, greatest outcome of the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in Greensboro?” All but two gave responses for publication. Some of the answers were predictable. Some…
Dr. Ergun Caner has published an article by this title in the latest National Liberty Journal. I hesitate even calling attention to it because I know that what he says will provoke many who regularly read this blog. Provocation is so easy to come by these days that I…
I suggested last year that a resolution on integrity in church membership would be appropriate to bring before the annual meeting of the SBC. A couple of months ago I drafted one and submitted it to the resolutions committee. As I understand it, that committee has the authority to…
Since hearing several weeks ago that Frank Page might be nominated for the office of president of the SBC I have been trying to secure a copy of his book, The Trouble with the TULIP: A Closer Examination of the Five Points of Calvinism. I had read excerpts and…
