Where is Dr. Timothy Pierce? If one were to try to call SWBTS professor Tim Pierce, one would hear on his voicemail message that he is out of the country until 2007. We have heard from some on campus that the Emperor… sorry, Dr. Patterson has forced him out, which is strange because Dr. Pierce is an elected faculty member. No, this does not mean he is a Calvinist, but it does mean he

FRANK PAGE and Friends @ SWBTS Chapel Tomorrow SBC President Frank Page will be the special guest speaker at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary tomorrow.

Cry Me a River Mr. ClintonWe don't like to wade to deeply into partisan politics, but we have been amazed by the outcry from Democrats who are upset by ABC's imminent release of the mini-series "The Path to 9/11." Former president Clinton has "demanded" that the network "pull the drama" if changes aren't made.Changes...why are changes needed?Well it appears that Clinton, and many who served in

Our hearts and prayers go out to those at Emmanuel Baptist in Enid, for the loss of the four lives earlier this week. We have been part of churches that have suffered through tragic losses like this. It is our prayer that the Lord will pour his grace out on the families and their extended family at the church. The truth is when there is pain in the body of Christ, we all hurt. We pray for Wade

We feel that Paige Patterson's statement on Dr. McKissic's chapel sermon is alarming. He has either forgotten his place or forsaken his responsibility.He has either presumed upon the role of trustees to censor another trustee, or he was negligent in not properly vetting his chapel speakers (or his trustees). Patterson's arrogance has reached a new high, or should we say low. His decision

His latest is entitled "A Theological Triage Test," which pricks the hearts of Baptists on matters of doctrines where there is disagreement.

Calvinsim is becoming popular...what?Check out our man Tom Ascol over at the Club Founders. He provides some good commentary on the cover story from latest edition of Christianity Today.Here's Tom: "The article documents what a few people have been saying for the last few years: we are in the early stages of real reformation. Reformed theology certainly is foundational to this reformation, but
