The Broken Heart of a Baptist
Friday, May 2nd, 2008I, Tim Rogers, would like to begin this post by saying that if my words and disagreements with others had anything to do with contributing in the attacks toward Dr. Yarnell, I am sorry.

A Resolution Worthy of Support
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008I am certain that others will be issuing various resolutions for the upcoming convention.

Tim Guthrie: Moving Forward…Part 3
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008Evangelism:
This third post of the series is where I get really excited. How can we in the SBC move forward in sharing Jesus to a lost and dying world. If we can only realize that God has so blessed us, oh what we could do to further the sharing of the Gospel, and in a […]

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008Doctrine:
As we proceed with this series, we will deal quickly with the doctrinal issues pertaining to the SBC and her entities. Read carefully the words following. I believe these words summarize and settle the discussion currently being held around the SBC.
