Dr. Ergun Caner, Liberty University, and Lessons I Learned by Peter Lumpkins

The announcement Liberty University released last Friday concerning the final report of the investigatory committee into the alleged charges against its seminary dean, Dr. Ergun Caner, predictably solicited different responses from different sectors. And, these responses pulled from within me an initial chorus of multi-colored reactions. On the one hand,... Read more →

Student minister, James G. McCarthy, who’s served on five university campuses (including Berkeley) has authored four books, the last of which is his first novel, John Calvin Goes to Berkeley.

SBTS & SEBTS Students Caught on Camera After GCRTF Vote by Peter Lumpkins

I usually do not allow unsubstantiated material on this site. However, since it was filmed by an impeccable source, in the interest of truth, I can do no other. I'm told hidden cameras caught students (and at least two professors) at both Southeastern and Southern seminaries in their initial response... Read more →

Whether James White Teaches Islam at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary by Peter Lumpkins

UPDATE: James White apparently was made aware of Tim Rogers' question at the SBC (from either this post or elsewhere) and put up some words concerning it (//link). The good news is, White did not call Rogers a liar (though he did question his motives) as his norm many times... Read more →

The Southern Baptist Convention 2010: Part I by Peter Lumpkins

I followed much of the Southern Baptist Convention via video-streaming on Tuesday. From my perspective, the two big business items—The Great Commission Resurgence Task Force Report and Presidential election—hardly posed any surprises. While admittedly I anticipated more discussion from the floor... on the TF report, few, if any, with whom... Read more →

The GCRTF Report: Roll Call by Peter Lumpkins

Since the final Task Force report was made official only a few weeks ago, promotion has been in overdrive, assembling as many big name supporters as possible. Checking the Pray4GCR.com website will offer the inquirer a who’s who listing of endorsements from Southern Baptists’ most familiar, household names. Bailey Smith...>... Read more →

The Next President of the Southern Baptist Convention by Peter Lumpkins

I had a conversation with a good friend yesterday on the phone. One curiosity we discussed concerned what can only be described as an odd silence on nominees for president of the Southern Baptist Convention. Making it harder to predict is the even odder platform for the pastor's conference... via... Read more →

The Conservative Resurgence, Girly Men, and the Southern Baptist Convention by Peter Lumpkins

I could easily make a list of the Conservative Resurgence leaders who placed it all on the line beginning in 1979 to stand for a principled position they believed in—The Flag of Biblical Inspiration, Biblical Inerrancy. Men like Paige Patterson... via peterlumpkins.typepad.com Here's another reblog which I think speaks much... Read more →

The SBC Pastors' Conference: Nominations Begin by Peter Lumpkins

Well, the nominations just started for president of the Southern Baptist Convention Pastor's Conference. Off the line first--Troy Gramling, lead pastor of Flamingo Road Church in Cooper City Florida (//link)... . via peterlumpkins.typepad.com Thought I'd post a few reruns before the Pastor's Conference begins on Sunday. Since only two candidates... Read more →

With that, I am... Peter P.S. thanks to an incredible Youtube upload of a hailstorm in Oklahoma City a few weeks ago (//link) Read more →

Alexander the Coppersmith Strikes Again: A Rejoinder to James White (Part II) by Peter Lumpkins

UPDATE: Rather than actually deal with anything written here or in Part I, James White would simply ignore the evidence which surely demonstrates he routinely deals unfairly and inadequately with his critics. Yet his emotionally-driven flaming continues to burn in his latest piece here. While the Muslim video has absolutely... Read more →

Attention: I just copied over the last post! --UPDATE--

UPDATE: Thanks to a SBC Tomorrow reader, I was able to restore the posts to the original. My deepest regret for the confusion. I know what I did. I learned *not* to ever try that again... ========================================================================================= The post entitled "Alexander the Coppersmith Strikes Again: A Brief Rejoinder (Part I)...

James White, Scholarship, and Insulting Ergun Caner (Part II) by Peter Lumpkins

Update: James White wrote a response to this piece (//link). Well, he tried anyways. I think he was mostly blowing off steam, given the merciless unloading of spitballs blown my way. And, in light of his piece, I'm going to go back on what I'd said to one commenter about... Read more →

James White and The Qu'rrrrran by Peter Lumpkins

I had planned to put up Part II on "James White, Scholarship, and Insulting Ergun Caner" but ran out of time this week. You may read Part I here. In the meantime, however, we can have a good laugh at the collage I threw together. James White mercilessly ridiculed Dr.... Read more →
