by Luke Liechty, PastorMoss Bluff, Louisiana “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins…As he spake these words, many believed on him� (John 8:24, 30 respectively). At the cross, where Jesus laid down his life, an infi...

When I think of righteousness, I think of Jesus. I think of His complete allegiance to God and Scripture--the words He used to overcome temptation in the wilderness..."it is written". I think of how pure He thought, how focused He was on His Father's will, how obedient He was to His Father's purpose...

   I've considered for some time now experimenting with some new avenues on SBC Tomorrow.  One such laboratory exercise is the addition of regularly scheduled guests who publish essays here.  Keeping with such a vision, today's guest is Luke Liechty.  Luke is not a stranger to Southern Baptist ...

Interestingly, Between the Times is turning up the temperature on Calvinism's focus, with 4 for 4 of their most recent posts addressing the issue.  I'm getting jealous:  at that rate, pretty soon their focus promises to overshadow my own!

        An interesting exchange took place last week between an anonymous missionary (non-SBC) presently serving in a Muslim country and a theologian at Liberty Theological Seminary.  A post entitled "My Pilgrimage" is hosted at SBCImpact and written by an anonymous missionary who calls hims...

This will be my final installment on quotes from B.H. Carroll for a while.  Many may wonder why I take the time to rummage through historical documents looking for what "they" believed.  What's really important is what we believe, right?  Or, more importantly, what the Bible teaches, right?  Wel...
