The Way I Hear It
When NOTHING is Something
March 20 2010 by A. Shane Nixon
I just finished two days at the General Assembly of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of NC. Would it shock you to know that there isn’t really any news to report? That idea isn’t mine. In fact when someone said it to me at the meeting, I was (at first) offended. Upon reflection though, I think they are right. But that is NOT, as I first feared, a problem, in fact, quite the contrary. I even now ...

Church (Family) Member
February 25 2010 by A. Shane Nixon
I have only been a “member” of two churches in my life. I grew up in what was then considered a little rural country church up in the northwest corner of NC. Now my family and I have our own church home. While in college I was a “watch care member” of one of the Baptist churches near the University but I never fully joined. In a touch of what I think is a statistical oddity, I realized recentl...

Services Cancelled, Church in Session
February 2 2010 by A. Shane Nixon
This just in . . . most of our NC Baptist churches have been affected by winter weather the past couple of weeks in one way or another. Ever notice that we are never prepared for bad weather?

I wasn’t wondering out of judgment. I am not sure there is sufficient reason to abandon something one feels called to preach even in the event of such an event. But I am also not sure there isn’t, and so I was (a...

TGIF
December 22 2009 by A. Shane Nixon
I’ll go (not so far) out on a limb here and say that most everyone loves a Friday. In our ever more “always accessible” world, the reasons we do so may be more sentimental than real, but changes like one so engrained as TGIF take time to happen. So for now, even if your weekend is something like Wednesday and Thursday, I’d bet you have been happy to see Friday come before. And this year, ...

Bad data skewed GCR position
In all the dialog about the Great Commission Resurgence Task Force’s study of processes in Southern Baptist life as it seeks efficiencies to get more money “to the nations,” the single most arresting fact that committee members quoted was that two-thirds of missions money and personnel allocated through the North American Mission Board was deployed in the old south states. I still remembe...
