What is the Missional Gospel? Part 3: The Ecumenical Missional Church

What is the Missional Gospel? Part 3: The Ecumenical Missional Church
By Keith Whitfield
The ecumenical missional church arises from a growing dis-ease with an approach to church that they claim was inherited from Christendom. Their concern with this approach to the church is that it views the church as a place and a “vender of religion.” Breaking from this, they attempt to return to the gospel to set forth a new vision for the church and … [Read More]

Myth #6: Many members of the GCRTF are fundamentally opposed to the work of local associations and state conventions.

Oct 23rd, 2009 by Daniel Akin

            The GCR has always been about energizing and mobilizing Southern Baptists to get the gospel to the unreached peoples of the world and the underserved regions of North America, and to do so as effectively and efficiently as possible.  Nothing more and nothing less is the goal and agenda of this movement.  If something stands in the way or hinders this then it needs to change or be set aside as unhelpful and unnecessary to … [Read More]

Looking Back to Louisville, Part 1

Sep 14th, 2009 by edstetzer

As I’ve indicated over at my blog, I am moving my SBC-related blogging here to Between the Times. For better or worse, it will be all Baptist, all the time, when I am at Between the Times.
Though it’s hardly any secret that I’m a Southern Baptist, my blog has become a place where people discuss research, mission, and culture. It seems some Southern Baptists just love a good blog fight, but it seems strange to … [Read More]

Axioms for a Great Commission Resurgence

In about 90 minutes Eastern Standard Time, Dr. Akin will preach a chapel message titled “Axioms for a Great Commission Resurgence.” Many of our readers have known for a couple of weeks that this message was forthcoming, and the SEBTS community and other friends have been praying for this morning for days. Later today, Dr. Akin’s complete manuscript will be posted at BtT. In anticipation of that, however, we have chosen to go ahead and … [Read More]

Screwtape on the Southern Baptist Convention

Apr 1st, 2009 by Nathan Finn

Trevin Wax, who blogs at Kingdom People, is consistently one of the most insightful voices among younger Southern Baptists. He is also a humble man who is a genuine joy to be around. In one of the most convicting (and cleverest) posts I have ever read, Trevin imagines how Screwtape would counsel Wormwood to “handle” the SBC. I do not throw the term around lightly, but “Screwtape on the Southern Baptist Convention” is a must-read for … [Read More]

20/20 Conference, Plenary Session V: Danny Akin

Feb 7th, 2009 by Nathan Finn

Question: How does the gospel come to life according to Jesus?
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]

20/20 Conference, Plenary Session IV: Bill Brown

Feb 7th, 2009 by Nathan Finn

Bill begins with a story about the squalor of Calcutta: who takes care of these people? Hindus don’t-this is their lot in life. Muslims don’t-they are the scum of the earth. Only the Christians take care of these people.
Bill looks forward to the day when people don’t think of right-wing extremists when they hear Christian, but think of the gospel come to life. He’s talking to us about “Engaging the Culture for Life.”
The text is … [Read More]
