Below are some links you may have missed from this past week:
- A. Chadwick Mauldin, author of Fullerism as Opposed to Calvinism: A Historical and Theological Comparison of the Missiology of Andrew Fuller and John Calvin, has a worthy piece entitled, "Senualism, Antinomianism, and Sacntification"
- Brad Whitt has done it again with a post offering a summary of what it means to be Southern Baptist. Entitled, "What makes us 'Southern Baptist'?" I'll be surprised if both Baptist Press and other state papers do not pick up and run this short but profound statement about Southern Baptists. Dr. Whitt is fast becoming the young, energetic voice for grassroots Southern Baptists. His writing style and clear message connects with the masses. More on this article this week...
- New Mexico pastor Howell Scott effectively deals with the unjust criticism Florida Director of Missions, Dr. Jerry Nash, received for his provocative post entitled, "Hold the Hearse, I have an Idea." The folks at SBC Voices got a bit carried away in their incisive rhetoric against Nash, and Scott set the record straight in "Jerry Nash, SBC Today, and a chill blowin' in the wind." Even more, SBC Today also publicly responded citing their clearly posted disclaimer that, a) the SBC Today blog offers a variety of perspectives and no single contributor speaks for SBC Today collectively; b) more significantly SBC Today put to rest the completely skewed assertion that somehow their blog is sponsored by New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. It is not; and those who implicated the seminary as sponsoring a "divisive" blog should check their facts before publicly chastising an entity based upon incorrect information
- Dr. David Allen, Dean of Theology and Professor of Preaching at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, offered at three-part piece on preaching: Preaching (part I) Preaching (part 2) Preaching (part 3)

Peter, did I miss where Micah Fries apologized for falsely accusing SBC Today of being affiliated with NOBTS? Could you post that link? Did the blog who posted Micah Fries false information make a retraction and public apology? I know there are not double standards for things like this. If a nonCalvinist had made false statements against a Calvinist blog you know the whole blogasphere would have erupted and accusations of conpsiracies to demean and discredit whole segments of the SBC until the nonCalivinist apologized and then the apology would have been lambasted as not sincere and then they would have called for someone's head on a platter.

Mary,
Good morning from West Georgia. The questions you ask are not irrelevant at all. Many make it a habit of calling for apologies from leaders who "tweet" info they assert is false--SBC Voices' contributors may be the Kingpin blog calling for apologies--yet when it botches info, the editors hardly call on themselves to "apologize" or retract the botched info.
With that, I am...
