In 1981 the British punk band The Clash wrote what would be their only single to reach Number 1 on the charts. Should I stay or Should I Go? is about a strained relationship, and it reflects how some in the SBC are feeling toward the Convention. Is there a reason to stay? Is there [...]
Wow. I am tired, but enjoyed the trip. The conference was very good and I am glad I was able to go with friends from Grace and hang with people I dont normally get to see. Guys like Challies have, of course, given you the run down of the messages and all the happenings of [...]
Ok, so we are in the dreaded West Tower which has forsaken the spirit of wi-fi, so I am hard pressed to blog while here. I could make blogging a priority, but the people we are meeting with and the conversations we are having are simply more important. I plan on blogging tonight a bit, [...]
A small group from Grace will leave tomorrow morning for the TFTG Conference. Rick was able to score us a free ride, but as you can see above the trip may not be that safe or comfortable. If you are going to be there and want to hang out after some of the sessions, send [...]
My last post reminded me of a visitor we had to our church a couple years ago. I got a call on Saturday from “Mark” who was driving through town and was looking for a place to worship with his son. They were in the middle of a regular father-son trip. He didn’t call to [...]

If you enjoy movies, Peerflix might be something to play with. Peerflix is a person to person DVD trading service. Users submit the DVD titles they are willing to trade for the ones they want. You enter the titles by punching in the UPC code. Once you have some of your DVDs listed to trade, [...]
Late last summer a few bloggers began promoting the idea of submitting some meaningful resolutions at the 2006 SBC (I hit the topic here and here). Tom Ascol has a resolution for your consideration, A Resolution on Integrity in Reporting. No, it’s not a corrective for Fox News or NBC. It deals with church membership, [...]
Andrew Jones has a very interesting response to Chuck Colson’s “Soothing Ourselves to Death.” Stemming from that article most people on the web are debating a song that we should, or should not, sing; whether hymns are better than more current song structures etc. I was tempted to wade into those waters, but found the [...]
