SUMMIT PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY TO CELEBRATE

September 13, 2017

By Steve Freeman President, Tennessee Baptist Convention Serving as your Tennessee Baptist Convention president has been, is, and will be one of the greatest highlights of my personal ministry! What a blessing it is to be a Tennessean, much less a Tennessee Baptist. God has indeed blessed our state and convention, and I have had […]

ANY WAY YOU SLICE IT

September 12, 2017

By Randy C. Davis TBMB President & Executive Director Any way you slice it, it was a record-setting year for the Golden Offering for Tennessee Missions. The first record broken came in June when the generous giving of Tennessee Baptists blew past the previous all-time high given to GOTM, which had been more than $1.7 […]

THE NASHVILLE STATEMENT: A CLEAR WORD IN A CONFUSED SOCIETY

September 5, 2017

By Todd Brady Vice President for University Ministries, Union University My wife and I were in Nashville recently for the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission’s annual conference on parenting.  Hearing from folks like Russell Moore, Jen Wilken, Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska) and others, we sought to learn what we could to grow in this great work […]

OVERCOME BARRIERS TO SHARE THE GOSPEL

September 5, 2017

By Justin Tucker Grace Community Church, Nashville What keeps the church from sharing the gospel with those who have yet to believe? An even better question to ask is what will motivate the church to overcome the barriers to sharing the gospel message? The greatest motivator to evangelism is not a massive list of our […]

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT CHARLOTTESVILLE?

September 1, 2017

By Chris Turner Director of Communications, TBMB The recent events in Charlottesville were tragic and seemingly becoming more common in cities across America. Racism in all forms is satanic, is biblically antithetical, and should be anathema to every Christian everywhere. Christ died to save some “from every tribe, tongue, and nation” (Revelation 7:9). As Christians, […]

THE TIME IS NOW FOR CHURCHES TO COMBAT RACISM

August 31, 2017

By Steve Freeman President, Tennessee Baptist Convention As I write this article, our nation continues to struggle with the horrific events of Charlottesville, Va., that took place on the weekend of Aug. 11-12 when thousands of white supremacists gathered to protest the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee from Emancipation Park. Along with […]

GOTM — SUPPORTING MISSIONS IN TENNESSEE

August 30, 2017

By Vickie Anderson Executive Dir., TN WMU It is almost here, one of my favorite times of the year — September. I love getting to spend time with family and friends over Labor Day weekend and that fall weather and cooler temperatures begin to arrive. But the thing I love the most about September is […]

WHEN THE CHURCH IS AT AN IMPASSE

August 28, 2017

By Johnnie Godwin Contributing Columnist, B&R Phyllis and I recently drove to a midday brunch to honor a newlywed couple. We had never been where we were going, but our GPS was set. As we turned off a paved road, our GPS took us up a graveled, narrow, curvy, mountainous road — with drop-offs but […]

LEADERSHIP LESSONS LEARNED FROM BACKPACKING

August 24, 2017

By Chris Turner Director of Communications, TBMB Lessons can be learned from many of life’s endeavors, but I’ve found backpacking seems to offer more than its fair share of learning opportunities. Who knows, maybe the mind is distracted by productive thinking while trying to avoid questioning one’s own sanity in lugging a 40-pound pack around […]

LOVING TO TELL THE TIMELESS STORY

August 22, 2017

By Randy C. Davis TBMB President & Executive Director A great story never gets old, even if it’s an old story. I was recently talking with Mike Henegar, one of our Tennessee pastors, and he shared with me what God was saying to him through Psalms 71. Naturally, my curiosity was piqued so I reread […]

GOD MADE IT HAPPEN

August 21, 2017

By Lonnie Wilkey Editor, Baptist and Reflector As I sat in my office earlier today (Aug. 21) I could not help but think how funny it would be if God looked down from heaven and decided to not allow the total eclipse to happen. He could have stopped it had He chosen, but He allowed […]

RED, YELLOW, BLACK, AND WHITE

August 15, 2017

By Lonnie Wilkey Editor, Baptist and Reflector As I have read news reports of the violence that happened in Charlottesville, Va., nearly two weeks ago, the words of “Jesus Loves The Little Children” have remained in my thoughts. “Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red, yellow, black and white, they […]
