On GCR Myths (And Those Who Spread Them)

Oct 29th, 2009 by Nathan Finn

In recent days Danny Akin and now Ronnie Floyd have addressed what they believe to be myths about the Great Commission Resurgence, or at least the work of the GCR Task Force.  A few bloggers and at least one state paper editor have responded. A common theme in these responses is that the blogger or other interlocutor claims he has not heretofore heard of the myth. Some have asked for evidence of the myth in either hard print or in the … [Read More]

Myth #3: The Great Commission Resurgence Task Force is attempting to influence and even control the search committee process at the Executive Committee, the IMB and NAMB.

Oct 13th, 2009 by Daniel Akin

Conspiracy theories are usually entertaining.  And, they often contain a modicum of truth, but not much more.  I believe this is the case with this myth as well.  The GCRTF has watched, as have most Southern Baptists, with great interest the events that have unfolded in recent months (and days!) at NAMB, IMB and the Executive Committee.  It would be dishonest to say we did not anticipate or see some of these things coming (others … [Read More]

If you would like to become a disciplined reader, you probably need to make a plan. Make a list of books that you would like to read in each of your various categories of interest.

On Disciplined Reading

Jun 9th, 2009 by Bruce Ashford

“Of making many books there is no end.” (Ecc 12:12)
There are three types of people in our country. There are, first of all, those who do not read. An AP-Ipsos poll recently revealed that 25% of Americans do not read books, while other polls have put the number higher, at around 50%. It is not that these Americans cannot read or that they do not accumulate knowledge. (No country’s citizens-and I mean none-bring more depth … [Read More]

On the Dangers of Seminary (Pt. 8): The Danger of Missing Out

Jun 2nd, 2009 by Bruce Ashford

This series arose out of extended reflection on the Scriptures, out of which the Lord has made clear to me some of the perils of seminary, many of which I have succumbed to or been tempted by over the past decade and a half. I have attempted to communicate these perils to those of you who would read this post and might benefit from it. Although I have interjected humor at several points, I could … [Read More]

20/20 Conference, Plenary Session V: Danny Akin

Feb 7th, 2009 by Nathan Finn

Answer: Love.
Jesus taught us in Matt. 22 that the greatest commandment is to love the Lord with all of our heart, soul, and mind. The second greatest is to love our neighbors as ourselves.
John says his Gospel that they will know we are his disciples if we love one another.
John says in 1 John that we love because God is love. He loved us so … [Read More]
