What is the Missional Gospel? Part 5: The Evangelical Missional Church

What is the Missional Gospel? Part 5: The Evangelical Missional Church
By Keith Whitfield
At a recent conference, Tim Keller addressed the challenges of evangelism in a post-modern context and gave six principles on how to pursue evangelism in this context. The first principle was “Gospel Theologizing,” and what he meant by this is phrase that all theology should articulate the gospel message. He says our theology should be an exposition of the gospel, and our presentation … [Read More]

Jul 22nd, 2009 by Nathan Finn

This is the second article in a (now) four-part series on fifteen factors that have changed the SBC since 1979. As I noted in my previous article, this list is not exhaustive, overlap exists between some factors, and I list them in no particular order of importance. You can read the first article in this series here.

This is the fifth article in a series on the GCR Declaration in anticipation of next week’s SBC Annual Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky.

For Future Generations

May 28th, 2009 by Alvin Reid

Over the past decade my passion to see people know Christ has pushed me repeatedly to the younger generation. Part of that stems from the simple truth that the overwhelming majority of people who become Christ followers do so under age 20. But it is also because the years I have spent studying, teaching about, and praying for spiritual awakening brings me again and again to the realization that God uses young adults often … [Read More]

On the Dangers of Seminary (Pt. 2): The Danger of Losing Your First Love for God (and Your Love for the Lost)

May 19th, 2009 by Bruce Ashford

Revelation 2:4: “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen.”
Romans 10:15: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”

In the summer of 2000, I returned home from having spent two years in a predominantly Muslim context in Central Asia, where I found opportunities to share the gospel nearly every day. It … [Read More]

Christianity May Be True for You, But . . .

Mar 17th, 2009 by Nathan Finn

N. T. Wright on relativism and religion:
Saying “It’s true for you” sounds fine and tolerant. But it only works because it’s twisting the word “true” to mean, not “a true revelation of the way things are in the real world,” but “something that is genuinely happening inside you.” In fact, saying “It’s true for you” in this sense is more or less equivalent to saying “It’s not true for you,” because the “it” in question–the … [Read More]

Alvin Reid on the Southern Baptist Convention

Aug 26th, 2008 by Nathan Finn

At the heart of the Great Commission Resurgence is a burning desire to see God draw countless worshipers unto Himself, both in North America and abroad, through the ministry of Southern Baptists. Few people embody a passion for the Great Commission like our colleague Alvin Reid. Alvin occupies the Bailey Smith Chair of Evangelism at Southeastern, where he has taught since 1995. He is the author of numerous books, including a widely-used evangelism textbook and … [Read More]

Wisdom from Mars Hill: Presenting the Unchanging Christ to an Ever-changing Culture

Aug 1st, 2008 by Daniel Akin

The 21st century presents certain challenges for those who want to present a clear and faithful witness for Jesus. Things are not what they used to be.  Modernity was characterized by a belief that Truth existed and that we could discover it.  Postmodernism on the other hand is convinced (at least tentatively!) that truths (small “t” with an “s”) are socially or personally constructed and therefore subjective, relative and changing.  There is no great story, … [Read More]
