Gospel green light in a Mumbai red-light district
March 18 2010 by Laura Erlanson, Baptist Press
MUMBAI, India — The red-light district of a south Asian city would seem an unlikely place to relearn a bedrock gospel truth. This is a place where dirty children wander outside, seemingly on their own, where men sleep off hangovers outside their doors and women prepare the day’s meals over charcoal fires. It is where we met a woman who told us she had TB and now feared she was pregnant, ...

Boycotting church
March 17 2010 by Tom Ehrich, Religion News Service
Let’s agree with television blowhard Glenn Beck that some churches need to be avoided. Ah, but which ones? Beck, of course, wants the righteous to shun any congregation that preaches “social justice” or “economic justice.” Terms like these are “code words” for Nazism and communism, he claims.

March 2 2010 by Diana Davis, Baptist Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Every year, thousands of children across our country meet Jesus for the first time at Vacation Bible School (VBS). Imagine what might happen if every member at your church invited an un-churched child to VBS. Need fresh publicity ideas? Form a creative, committed publicity team to motivate and enable every individual and church group to impact VBS attenda...

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...
