Last updated on: July 23, 2015 at 12:28 pm By Scott Slayton

“Page: Obama’s comments on poverty disappointing“ Many accuse evangelicals of only being concerned about abortion and gay marriage, particularly to the detriment of caring for the poor. President Obama recently echoed this criticism at a panel discussion hosted by Georgetown University. David Roach’s story on a recent interview with SBC Executive Committee President Frank Page shows where this criticism falls short. “Southern Baptists ‘have the third largest disaster relief ministry in the world,’ Page said. ‘Who do you think is...

“Stephen Curry and the Culture of Mistrust” Bethany Jenkins writes about the evident humility of Stephen Curry compared to the “The gospel transforms our notion of self-worth and identity because it invites us to embrace a sense of meaning and purpose that’s bigger than ourselves. In Christ, we we’re not demoralized by failure or overly impressed by narrow ideas of success, like football tackles or MVP awards or prestigious scholarships and degrees.” “Is Christianity Dying?” A new Pew Center study...

Blind Spots

Last updated on: May 10, 2015 at 11:55 pm By Scott Slayton

If you were to ask me what the most important characteristic is in a church, I would tell you it is what the church believes. My bias leans toward churches leading with theology. They need to know what they believe, why they believe it, and be upfront about it.

Michael Kruger helps us see both of these issues as he analyzes the transcripts of last week’s oral arguments before the Supreme Court. “The logic being used to promote same-sex marriage could...

If we believe what we tell everyone, we are all busy people. Most of us lead off with it when we ask how we are doing. When approached about things we need to add into our lives, we remark that we will try to “find the time.” We never find time though do we? In order to do important things, we have to make time. One of the things we need to work hard to make time for is consistent... Read more
