Listening to a National Public Radio story regarding the efforts of Chevrolet to re-invent the Corvette, I realized that, remarkably, traditional churches and Corvettes have several things in common. Could the Corvette have something to teach us about our future?

Increasingly, the locus of evangelism isn’t in “big church” public gatherings, but in “oikos,” or extended family households, according to Mike Breen. Don’t wager on crusades or altar calls to introduce friends to Christ. Enfold them into the discipleship rhythm of your household, and watch it “rub off” on others.

I am honored when my town council invites me to pray at the opening of their meetings a couple of times a year, but I must admit that doing so remains a struggle for me. As a Baptist pastor in the southern United States, I’m sure my struggle with this practice is in no way unique.

There is an unfortunate conviction among some that if I draw different boundaries for what is acceptable Christian behavior, I am somehow guilty of drawing no boundaries at all. This unfortunate fallacy isn’t new to the homosexuality debate, but it has certainly taken root there.

If Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, henceforth known as Pope Francis, is like the man whose name he took, we can expect him to be a reformer of corruption, we can expect him to devote the church to social causes (the poor, the hungry, the sick) and we can expect a call to holiness.

After a recent vote, the Richmond Baptist Association finds itself living within a new world. In this world, the rubber band of fellowship has been stretched to incorporate Ginter Park Baptist Church which last year ordained a gay man. The close vote shows the difficulty and tension within this conflict. |

For all of human history, death is the single enemy we have not been able to conquer. But at Easter, everything changed. A man died and didn’t stay dead. The grip in which death held the people of this world was forever broken. Where once there were only questions, now there was certainty. Death is not the final answer.

To place church autonomy above allegiance to the clear teachings and mandates of God’s Holy Word is both non-Christian and certainly, given our history as Baptists, non-Baptist.
