There's new turmoil in Southern Baptist life. So what's new about that?
If it's not controversy over mission board members, then its seminary board members. Or one attack or another on someone or thing. I wonder who's behind all this?
Fellow blogger Geoff Baggett does a great job of putting it into perspective. See his post on nuts in the SBC.
I seldom buy peanuts, or English walnuts. I prefer mixed nuts. That way I can eat what I want and toss, or use sparingly, the rest.
It's the nuts that make it difficult for a dying world to subscribe to a loving God.
Van,
It's not often that I've made the time to read your blog; I'm glad that I did tonight.
What a blessing it is to read your response to imagination. Tonight I spoke with a friend that gave me some news (a situation out of my control, but does affect me) causing me to immediately fix my mind on "how bad this is going to turn out". I began to mentally search the scripture for answers from the Lord. The first verse the Lord brought to mind was Proverbs 16:9 "The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps." Comforting, but after reading your blog I searched further and found Col 3:2 "Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth." Refreshing.
My belief is that we can use Col 3:2 to keep our imagination (mind) stayed on God and experience the perfect peace that Isaiah speaks of.
Thank you for the words of wisdom and encouragement.
Brandt
