Giving Plan Study Committee Vote…

November 18 2008 by C.J. Bordeaux, Durham

I am still overwhelmed at the voices of “friends” who have known me for many years, asking me at the end of the convention “When did you switch over to be a Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF) person?” I assure them, I have neither flipped nor flopped to the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. CBF holds nothing for me. I am forever a Bible-believing, conservative inerrantist. I dearly love our Coo...

I was saddened to learn of the death of J. Marse Grant, editor emeritus of the Biblical Recorder. It was my privilege to be assistant editor at the time of his retirement in 1982. Marse was a consummate Baptist editor, but more than that, he was a friend to hundreds and thousands of North Carolina Baptists. His weekends were busy often, speaking at small churches and hearing of newsworthy event...
