Came across this evangelistic website somewhere, and found it interesting: I Am Second. Check it out. Here’s the blog. And here’s a story about it. A creative way to witness, seems like. 3.

Important Event: CBMW Panel on the Trinity
August 20, 2009 By Leave a Comment
I’ve just heard from CBMW’s John Starke about a discussion at Southern Seminary in a few weeks that continues the Ware/Grudem vs. McCall/Yandell debate begun on the campus of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in October 2008 (here’s the coverage of the event by Christianity Today). Without taking a position on this matter, I want to [...]
Carl Henry’s Greatest Failure and Success
July 21, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Found this in a poignant Christianity Today tribute to Henry written by his old friend Kenneth Kantzer. Henry’s “greatest failure” according to Kantzer, former dean of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, involved a failed plan for a “great Christian university”: “From his student days, Carl dreamed of a great Christian university modeled after sixteenth-century Wittenberg or [...]

June 30, 2009 By 5 Comments
For those of you who did not follow my post about the Southern Seminary sesquicentennial and the subsequent discussion it sparked, Andy Naselli put together a nice blog about the two sides related to the McCall Pavilion controversy at Southern. I’ll skip a lengthy summary and say this: Greg Gilbert and Mark Rogers agreed with [...]

June 25, 2009 By 6 Comments
Today Southern Seminary–or, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary–celebrated its 150th anniversary. This is known in fancy chronological language as a sesquicentennial. The day was an eventful and meaningful one. Events at SBTS included a lunch at 12:30pm that drew way over 1000 people; a time for campus tours and fellowship afterwards; and a ceremony at [...]

Here’s a report from the organizer, Dave Ricard, the man who runs the New England Center for Expository Preaching, an internship program that brings interns to preach in a variety of New England churches [...]

“With another 100-point night in the books, the Elliott County Lions have adjourned to the Penny Mart (“Deli-Propane-Lotto” reads the sign). Here, playing rook amid the motor oil and fishing hooks and canned goods, they are rural royalty. The chicken wings, cheeseburgers and slushies are free for the boys after every game, enthusiastically provided by [...]
The Link 3.6.09–Mat Kearney, Al Mohler, Collin Hansen, and Emotional Ethics
March 6, 2009 By Leave a Comment
1. Christian Audio is giving away Don Whitney’s Spiritual Disciplines Audiobook during this month. Find it here. If you have not read this book, it is an absolute classic. I’ll never forget learning from it what meditation of Scripture entailed. Very, very helpful, especially for young Christians, though it would also help a long-time Christian [...]
Making Men Moral: What Is Union University?
February 26, 2009 By 1 Comment
In the course of live-blogging this conference, I have thought a few times that it might be helpful to clue readers in a little further to Union University. Some readers, particularly those located in the North, may not have heard much about this school. Let me say, very quickly, that I cannot count myself an [...]
