‘Great Commission Giving’ would be CP disaster

Clock March 8 2010 by Norman Jameson, BR Editor
The irony of life in the Southern Baptist corral is that for most of the past 30 years Southern Baptists have elected to national leadership men who did not demonstrate deep seated, convictional support of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Find It Here, Find It Now

Clock March 8 2010 by Norman Jameson, BR Editor
What is your favorite part of Easter? The “up from the grave He arose” chorus thrills me every time.

Clock January 25 2010 by Norman Jameson, BR Editor
Now that Haiti is completely wrecked, how does anyone fix it? With tremors still shaking the island nation that has never recovered from its own birth pains, the world’s nations sends tons of food and barrels of water to Haiti, which has depended on tons of food and barrels of water from the world’s nations to feed its people for decades. As many as 2,000 charitable organizations had a pre...

Bad data skewed GCR position

Norman Jameson

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...
