The post Encouragement for Gospel Ministers from John Newton appeared first on Founders Ministries.
One of the most common arguments about early Christianity—made popular by Walter Bauer’s 1934 book Orthodoxy and Heresy in Earliest Christianity—is that the earliest centuries had such enormous doctrinal diversity that the “heretics” were a…
Words matter especially in worship. When we worship, we are declaring who God is and praising Him for what He has done. As we sing in worship, we should be mindful of what we sing.There are a lot of songs that have great lyrics with great melodies and …
The first article of the Baptist Faith and Message speaks of the source, nature, authority, and goal of the Bible as God’s revelation to humanity: The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to man.

The post Reflecting on the Baptist Faith and Message, Part 3: The Doctrine of Scripture (con’t) appeared first on Conservative Resurgence: Voices.
Overall, a Baptist History has to have 3 elements: 1. The Anabaptists – 1500s around Luther and Zwingli and then forward. Most of the Anabaptists were Arminian in theology, except for, apparently, Zwingli’s students. 2. The General Baptists – 1601 … Continue reading
Q 1. Who is the first and greatest of beings?
A. 1. God is the first and greatest of beings (Isaiah 44:6; 48:12; Psalm 97:9).
Submission.
Of all the words in the Bible, this may be one of the least popular. After all, our cultural moment is not one that values a posture of submission to authorities. On the contrary, our world insists we should challenge and critique those ove…
I am sure many of you have heard of the “Seeker Sensitive” movement that has bee plaguing the church for a number of years. The idea is to make a person’s “worship experience” comfortable. They are told to relax and enjoy the service. These services ar…

There are some Christians who believe that telling their testimonies, your personal story of how you came to faith in Christ, is equivalent to proclaiming the gospel. While telling people of who we were before we came to faith in Christ is a good thing…
Workers for God must tell the gospel and keep to the gospel. You must continually dwell upon the real truth, as it is in God’s Word, for nothing but this will win souls. Now, in order to do this, workers for Christ must know God’s truth. We must know i…

The truth is that abortion is not safe. It is not devoid of emotional turmoil. It is not a confidential alternative.
A current hot-button issue among Southern Baptists is the task force created to oversee an independent investigation into the handling of sexual abuse allegations by the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee. We reached out to a faithful brother who is an attorney to ask about the ramifications of the investigating bodies’ request that the Executive […]

During Ed Litton’s appearance at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary’s Chapel he sat down for a conversation with Seminary President Adam Greenway. In one segment of the conversation President Greenway references his own announcement of Litton’s appearance and makes reference to “anonymous social media accounts” posting “snark” in reply. You can see the clip in this […]

The following is a Twitter thread (hence the “choppiness” and brevity required in that context). The fact that the structures of the SBC seem to be intent upon defending Litton and making his plagiarism just “go away” tells us much about the future value of continuing to support those entities without any real chance of effecting change within them (as […]
