I just got out of the conference a few minutes ago and thought I'd do a few emails and such.  What did I find?  Hundreds of page views coming from Founders.  I knew Founders had put up a post linking me in their latest crusade.  I did not expect that many page reads, however.  Thank you Dr. Asc...

Precipitation caught Southern Baptists without their umbrella last week, but now slowly moves to the north.  Sheets of water were visibly heavy at times, as a steady downpour of defenders made their case for Seattle pastor, Mark Driscoll, and his continued influence among Southern Baptists. From No...

      Ever fond of rummaging through that toward which many, possessing no curious interest in such historical matters, offer but merely a discomforting yawn, I ran across this little golden nugget from Alabama Baptist history.  Elder W. C. Bledsoe, author of The History of The Liberty (East) B...

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  Many may wonder why I take the time to rummage through historical documents looking for what "they" believed.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...

    **Dr. Tom Ascol, Executive Director of Founders Ministries, has finally offered his evaluation of the recent John 3:16 Conference.  J316C, according to Ascol, is one of "three events that have put the spotlight on [Calvinism in the SBC] recently have come from those who are not merely non-Cal...

    By Dr David Allen Since the John 3:16 Conference, there has been an excessive amount of attention to my comments concerning James White on the various Calvinist blogs.

       I hope you took the time to scan Dr. Allen's review of Calvinism:  A Southern Baptist Dialogue posted at Center for Theological Research at SWBTS.  It is worth your time, I assure. I offer two particular quotes I found interesting, each of which is a part of Dr. Allen's query into Dr....
