Cathy Mickels is the former Washington state president of Phyllis Schlafly's national conservative organization, Eagle Forum. She has been an active, effective voice on behalf of many pro-family and education issues, including strong opposition to outcome-based education. She is also author of Spiritual Junk Food, a book dealing with our culture's "dumbing down" of Christian youth >>>

UPDATE: the word is LifeWay is preparing a detailed response to Gerald Harris' essay and is scheduled to post this evening on Baptist Press. I'm anticipating precisely what facts in the essay LifeWay intends to dispute.
=======================
Below is the current editorial in The Christian Index, the Georiga Baptist Convention's state paper. Dr. Gerald Harris has served as editor of The Christian Index since May 2003. We happily publish by permission Dr. Harris' latest editoral, "The Calvinists are here" >>>

Below is a file uploaded to my site, a file about which I was made aware by Christian author, Cathy Mickels. Parents whose children attend Liberty University need to read this document. What the document contains from Driscoll's own words is provocative. It's mundane. It's crude. And, at times, it's vulgar. It's also necessary. Were my children attending LU, I'd want to know that LU decided to bring in Mark Driscoll to sexualize my kids with his bogus authoritarian interpretation of the Song of Solomon >>>

The first time I came across the name Mark Driscoll was on a rabid feminist blog. It was the sorry Ted Haggard affair. Driscoll’s thoughts of the situation sent the internet into conniptions. Mark’s basic take was that wives of ministers are purposefully letting themselves go and controlling their husbands with sex because the husbands are trapped into fidelity >>>

Mark Driscoll is on the defensive over an interview about his newly released book, Real Marriage, going terribly bad. At least that's how he's reacting. On his site, he writes a post entitled "A Blog Post for the Brits". In it, he laments the upcoming release of the interview: >>>

Over the past few days, I've been considering Mark and Grace Driscoll's latest book, Real Marriage: The Truth About Sex, Friendship, and Life Together. Earlier I noted some curious endorsements of this monograph including Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary president, Danny Akin. Of interest is Akin's own contributions to the biblical theme of human sexuality including his book, God on Sex: The Creator's Ideas about Love, Intimacy, and Marriage
, a popular but reliable look into human sexuality from a decidedly biblical perspective--particularly sexuality as expressed in the context of holy matrimony >>>

I received my review copy of Real Marriage: The Truth About Sex, Friendship, and Life Together by Mark and Grace Driscoll (Thomas Nelson: Nashville. copyright 2012 by On Mission, LLC). On the opening page(s) endorsements exist which may or may not be surprising to most Southern Baptists. Nonetheless I remain quite sure many Southern Baptists will do a double take given the saucy encouragement of sexual sodomy the Driscolls unashamedly promote. Below are a few endorsers about which Southern Baptists will undoubtedly have some interest >>>

Dr. Roy Hargrave is Senior Pastor of the Riverbend Community Church located in Ormond Beach, Florida. Those unfamiliar with Riverbend should know that Riverbend is arguably the largest cooperating congregation in the Southern Baptist Convention that unapologetically holds to the traditional "doctrines of grace"; that is, the Calvinistic T.U.L.I.P. The acrostic in Riverbend's name summarizes the church's focus >>>

Al Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, made headlines at the Southern Baptist Convention in Phoenix when he openly affirmed quoted words by Jonathan Merritt: "We've lied about the nature of homosexuality and have practiced what can only be described as a form of homophobia…We've used the 'choice' language when it is clear that sexual orientation is a deep inner struggle and not merely a matter of choice" (//link). In response to whether those words were accurately quoted, Mohler said: >>>

In November 1999, Oakhurst Baptist of Decatur and Virginia Highlands Baptist of Atlanta marked the first time in the 189-year history of the Georgia Baptist Convention that it had taken action to expel churches over the issue of gay acceptance. Both churches allowed gay leaders to serve in positions at the church. The Virginia Highland church even allowed its facilities to be used to conduct marital ceremonials for gay couples (//link) >>>
