Back to the Future

Clock November 18 2008 by Milton. A. Hollifield Jr., BSC Executive Director-Treasurer
There is research to indicate that we are now living in a post-denominational time in the history of the church. I have read that research and I believe much of it to be true. But lovingly I want to say to you that denominations are here to stay. I did not say that this denomination — the Southern Baptist Convention — is here to stay. I did not say that the Baptist State Convention of North Caroli...

Learning thankfulness the hard way

Clock November 14 2008 by Dick Staub, Religion News Service

And Christians of all ideological and political stripes should be able to cheer some aspects of what happened yesterday. I certainly can...

Eternally essential

Clock November 3 2008 by Milton A. Hollifield Jr., BSC Executive Director-Treasurer
During this time of financial calamity and uncertainty, research is showing that most Americans are coming to terms with what is truly essential in their lives. What is deemed unessential in times of trial is quickly discarded. Most never miss the extras they once enjoyed in their fight to maintain the essentials because a certain clarity is developed which gets most people really serious about th...

Option vote kicks air from committee’s lungs

Norman Jameson
That hissing sound you hear is air whooshing from the lungs of members of the Giving Plans Study Committee—and the 45 percent of messengers who supported their proposal to adopt a single giving plan, with options. The other 55 percent of messengers said clearly they do not want the option of allowing churches to pass money to the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship through the Baptist State Convention...
