The SBC and the Nicene Creed

Last updated on: June 14, 2024 at 8:23 am By Layne Wallace

The SBC 2024. The SBC and the Nicene Creed The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is gathering in Indianapolis this week for its annual meeting, and the agenda is full of controversial votes. Messengers will vote on the Law Amendment which addresses the role of women pastors in the SBC. That amendment will have the most publicity. What is arguably more important though is the amendment proposed by Research Professor of Theology at Southwestern Seminary, Malcolm Yarnell, to add the Nicene... Read more

Scenes From Normandy The beach is calm now. The only sounds are from the wind, the soft breaking of small waves, and the small talk from the remaining tourists. 80 years ago, no calm could be found. The thunderous boom of artillery pierced the morning air, and battle cries of men charging the Nazis were only slightly muffled by the beach sand. Machine gun fire pierced the air and flesh. Screams of the wounded filled the air. The sounds of... Read more

Does the SBC Have a Systematic Sexual Abuse Problem

Last updated on: May 30, 2024 at 12:09 pm By Layne Wallace

Does the SBC Have a Systemic Sexual Abuse Problem? While they have many disagreements, the men running to be president of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) agree on at least one thing: there is no systematic sexual abuse crisis in the SBC. Individuals have committed abuse. Local congregations have failed to protect their members and have even enabled abuse in some cases. The SBC, however, remains unsullied. According to these candidates, their supporters, and other SBC members, there is no... Read more

Internet Atheists and Christian Philosophers

Last updated on: May 22, 2024 at 8:02 pm By Layne Wallace

Internet Atheists There are at least two types of atheists online. There is the angry, ax-grinding sort and there is the serious intellectual sort. The former I ignore because the only thing they want to do is impugn the intelligence of a theist to make themselves feel superior. Their attitude seems to be, “Believers are unenlightened boors who must be mocked.” Having read the works of Nietzsche or Dawkins and certain in their smug enlightenment, their tactic is to demean...

Is the EC or SBC at Fault in the SBC Sexual Abuse Scandal In a recent interview the President of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), Dr. Bart Barber, discussed the sexual abuse scandal in the SBC among other topics. In the interview Barber says, What the investigation found after looking hard to see if they could find a time when the convention or the executive committee knew about abuse and failed to report it, or facilitated an abuser being able...

Disappointment and the Courage to Hope

Last updated on: November 29, 2023 at 2:12 pm By Layne Wallace

What Happens When Hope Dies? Ben Franklin once said that many people die at 25 and we only get around to burying them when they reach 70. Whatever his motivation for the saying, if he were referring to the death of hope, then he was right. When hope dies, the power to strive dies along with it. Funerals for dreams and imagination soon follow. When hope dies, the only things that remain are our coping mechanisms. Food, substances, pleasure,... Read more

What We Miss: Jesus Walks on Water and Claims of Divinity

Jesus Walks on the Water and Jesus’ Divinity In my social media adventures over the last several months, I have noticed a group of people denying the divinity of Jesus. Because it is social media, it is hard to tell if it is a large movement or if it is just a small group whose voices seem more numerous because they are concentrated on Twitter. Some of them are following the work of UNC professor Bart Ehman, who has sold... Read more

95 Thesis for 2023: Baptist Edition

In honor of the anniversary of Martin Luther’s 95 Thesis, I am writing 95 theses of my own with my own Baptist flavor. I last did this a few years ago. While there are some changes, the list remains quite similar. I The Bible is the final authority of faith and practice. All religious ideas and traditions are subject to correction by the Scriptures. With the Bible as the final authority, pastors and theologians should be conversant... Read more

Not Condemning Hamas, the CBF’s Mistake, Shani Louk

Institutions and the Hamas Horror Leading religious and educational institutions is a difficult venture. Sometimes knowing when to speak and when to be silent is difficult. Issues like war and peace, the role of government, or how to resolve race disputes can be extremely complex. Because of this difficulty, institutions are often reticent to get involved in such disputes, and rightly so. On occasion, however, events occur that are so toxic that the distinction between right and wrong is clear.... Read more
