Are Baptists Becoming More Biblical?

June 6, 2015

By Johnnie Godwin Contributing Columnist, B&R My “Baptist” dad went forward at invitation time one Sunday night when I was 16. I didn’t have a clue why he might be doing that. All my life Dad had done all the Baptist things the rest of our family did: the whole shebang. Growing up, I had […]

Climate Changers

June 6, 2015

By David Evans TBC Staff In the New Testament, the nature of evangelism is organic (natural and irregular). Evangelism should occur naturally from all believers and will occur at irregular times. Evangelism was not something that was programmed. Instead, evangelism was part of personal preparation. The evangelist was prepared because evangelism could happen at anytime […]

June 4, 2015

By Lonnie Wilkey Editor, Baptist and Reflector On May 22, voters in the country of Ireland made a decision that will forever impact their nation. Ireland became the first country to hold a public vote amending its constitution to allow gay marriage (see story “Ireland Votes to Allow Gay Marriage”). With 62.1 percent of the […]

What Is Your Church Doing About ‘Z’?

June 2, 2015

By Randy C. Davis TBC Executive Director Okay, be sure to pay attention here. This first part could be a little confusing. “Z” is not “Y,” and both “Z” and “Y” are certainly not “X.” No, this isn’t algebra; it is the generational alphabet soup. As a member of the Boomer Generation, I’m just glad […]

Supporting Those Walking Martyrdom’s Road

May 19, 2015

By Randy C. Davis TBC Executive Director I have a friend, I’ll call him, “Pamin” (pah-MEEN). He’s Egyptian, a Coptic Christian, lives in the United States and fears for his life. ISIS, he says, is rooted in the United States and he believes would torture and kill him — and other Coptic believers — given […]

Senior Adults — A Resource to Protect

May 19, 2015

By Lonnie Wilkey Editor, Baptist and Reflector As one might expect, an editor’s desk (or e-mail box) can be filled quickly in the course of a week. Regardless of whether we get it the old fashioned way (via mail) or electronically, editors are inundated with requests from people who want us to share their messages. […]

Church Revitalization — Our Issue Now

May 8, 2015

By Bob Brown TBC Church Revitalization Team Leader Church revitalization is a stewardship issue over the congregations God has entrusted to every pastor and church member who are affiliated with the Tennessee Baptist Convention.

Coping With Undiagnosed Chronic Illness

May 7, 2015

By Royce DeGrie TBC Senior Graphic Designer I have found in daily life, that people don’t like to talk about health issues because they are embarrassed or don’t want to seem “weak” so they just don’t talk about it. Your health is a deeply personal issue, especially for men. Men don’t want to come across […]

The ‘Can-Do’ Christ in a ‘Can’t-Do’ Society

May 5, 2015

By Johnnie Godwin Contributing Columnist, B&R “We can do it!” greeted me from every mobile that hung from the ceiling of a fast-food chain. It was their motto, and I loved it. So I located the manager and told him I wanted to buy one of those mobiles. His reply? “We can’t do that!” I […]

It’s a Fact — Not a Cliche

May 5, 2015

By Randy C. Davis TBC Executive Director I’ve noticed a growing verbal trend that makes me uncomfortable to the point that it deeply concerns me. Someone will toss out the Cooperative Program’s unofficial motto, “We can do more together than we can do apart,” but with a mildly sarcastic tone. My concern is with the […]
