Baseball Reveals Much
Posted by: | CommentsClick on the link above and you will see a Southern Baptist Pastor. If you will look closely you will notice, seen better in the replay, a bald man in the lower left side of the shot, reaching up to protect his family. However, his look of amazement at the ball hitting the lady behind him is classic. That bald pastor is none other than Dr. Nathan Lino current President of Southern Baptist of Texas. He really looks like the protector that he is. Of course he never spilled his drink. Notice how he holds it close to his chest as he tries to reach out and protect his family. You go Nathan. 
Bo, in his interview, has a classic baseball line; “the ball was in the lights”.
Funny Stuff, If It Were Not So Sad

Relevant? Fitting in with their culture? This is how silly and crazy some Churches can get as they seek to identify with their culture, and supposedly do things to reach people. Notice that the name of the Church is the Wine Barrel Church. Maybe that should tell us all someting. This would really be funny, if it were not so sad. Thanks to Robin Foster for sharing such a wonderful video with all of us.
Can an Island “Tip Over”?
Posted by: | CommentsInstead of my comments this I am going to wait until the comment stream gets started. I will tell you that Representative Johnson is from Georgia. Thus, I will allow our Georgia resident and fellow blogger Peter Lumpkins free reign in his comments on his Georgia Representative’s thoughts. Of course Representative Johnson’s thoughts affect all of us so everyone’s thoughts on this man’s statement will be encouraged. Just remember to show respect for the office he holds, and do not disrespect his family. Enjoy!
Comedy with a Point!
Posted by: | CommentsIn honor of today’s opening of one of these heavenly establishments less than two miles from my home in Liberty, Missouri, I present to you this bit of comic genius from Tim Hawkins…(with a point to follow)…
So, what’s your point, Scott? Here it is: Beyond that absolutely addicting Chick-fil-A sandwich, to which many among us…especially Dr. Russell Moore…can attest our own love for this culinary masterpiece, Tim’s song brings out a significant aspect of the identity which marks Chick-fil-A’s reputation. Beyond the good food and the cows, Chick-fil-A is closed on SUNDAY!
This unparalleled practice among national fast-food restaurant chains was born out of the conviction of founder Truett Cathy. On his website he states his recipe for success. Included in that recipe is:
5. CLOSED ON SUNDAY
“I was not so committed to financial success that I was willing to abandon my principles and priorities. One of the most visible examples of this is our decision to close on Sunday. Our decision to close on Sunday was our way of honoring God and of directing our attention to things that mattered more than our business.”Chick-fil-A is the only major fast-food restaurant chain to be closed on Sundays, one of the busiest days of the week in the restaurant business. Despite being closed on Sundays, Truett Cathy has led Chick-fil-A on an unparalleled record of 40 consecutive years of sales increases, with its core free-standing restaurants achieving higher sales per unit in six days (with shorter operating hours) than most major chains in the industry.
Convictional living! That is my goal for my life. That is Christ’s requirement for His churches. That is the purpose for SBC Today…that we as Southern Baptists would be readily identifiable, holding forth the word of life! Being distinct does not mean being sequestered or isolated. It does require being convictional and consistent.
May we as Southern Baptist living under the lordship of Jesus Christ have the same kind of courage and consistency from our leadership, our entities, our pastors, and our churches, as we see in men like Truett Cathy.
Sola Gratia!
