A Sunday School by any Other Name is . . .

August 13 2010 by A. Shane Nixon

Well I am not sure what it is. I mean I know (some of at least) the names. Small Groups, Study Teams, Care Circles . . . but are we still doing Sunday School? Actually let me be a little more specific, if not accurate in my question. Are we still doing Bible study in some “small group level” way in NC Baptist churches? While traveling back from vacation recently, my children engaged me in ...

I Got Blopped

July 15 2010 by A. Shane Nixon

Of course I was also guilty of blopping, but I nonetheless got blopped. Don’t worry, this is not even PG13, this one makes it for all audiences, trust me.

The needle is big, the medicine kind of “burns” as it goes in, and this is all to say nothing of the long term effects of steroids on the human body.

About 4 years ago, a regional magazine here in NC commissioned me to write a piece about mother’s day. The idea was that in my travels I’d have seen a moving mother’s day service somewhere, or watched a mother’s day scene play out that would make for good reading. I was given the particulars, told of the arrangement, and even asked to do my ministerial best to put a “religious” spin on it. It woul...
