Christ’s Prophets or Culture’s Pollsters: To Whom Do We Turn? by Peter Lumpkins

    Typically argued by church-growth gurus a half-generation ago was for the 20th Century church to stop using 19th century methods to reach a 20th century audience.   Remember this book?   Among the many culprits often indicted was the "boring" church which ignored the sharpened sensory tastes of a media-driven society soaked in the tub of cutting edge video, graphics, and the ever-ready, almighty microchip.  The stats were in...

An Old Story About My Wife & Me by Peter Lumpkins

I was searching for something else when I stumbled across this old story written about my wife and me when we transformed ourselves from the beautiful suburbs south of Atlanta to living on the railroad tracks in downtown Atlanta. 

And, yes, when the train came through, the glasses jingled, the floors vibrated, and, if we were in the courtyard,  we simply stopped talking til the train went by.  Life for us in the loft for 5 1/2 years.

Warm Endorsement for "Alcohol Today: Abstinence in an Age of Indulgence" by Peter Lumpkins

Many thanks to Dr. Brad Reynolds, Vice-president at Truett-McConnell College, Cleveland, Georgia for his warm endorsement of my book, Alcohol Today:  Abstinence in an Age of Indulgence:

"At a time when purity within the evangelical church is being sacrificed at the altar of unity, and holiness is asked to bow to pragmatism Peter Lumpkins delivers a clarion call for the church to behave as the pure bride of Christ with respect to the consumption of alcohol. With biblical exegesis, philosophical effectiveness and journalistic excellence Peter reveals the Biblical case for Abstinence for a generation which seems to be searching for Biblical truth. As a pastor and professor I am grateful for Peter’s boldness, scholarship and genuineness on an issue that has far reaching effects both within and without the walls of the church."

You can find Alcohol Today: Abstinence in an Age of Indulgence at Amazon.com, or you may visit Hannibal Books and purchase directly from the publisher.

Dr. Malcolm Yarnell on Romans 9: "God's Electing Purpose" by Peter Lumpkins

When's the last time you either heard an exposition (mp3) or read an endorsement on a Southern Baptist blog concerning Romans 9, the contents of which were not decidedly strict Calvinism?  And the answer is...
