Broadman and Holman has posted an interview with Dr. David Allen and Dr. Steve Lemke about the upcoming book, Whosoever Will.
This book arose from the John 3:16 Conference back in November of 2008.

I was elected president of the SBC in 1988. Some half-jokingly said I was the first independent Baptist in history elected president! Actually, all my roots are in Southern Baptist life. I was saved, called to preach, educated, and served in only Southern Baptist churches.
In the earlier years several of us were so concerned about liberalism in the SBC we thought we might indeed become independents. Adrian Rogers and I talked about it frequently. Of course, you know the...
It has taken me a few weeks to get to this wrap-up of the SBC annual meeting. I'm finishing up some messages for the "Left" series I'm doing at First Baptist Woodstock, editing some Sunday School lessons in our new Vines By the Book curriculum, and trying to get ready to leave for Alaska. So, I'm a busy guy.
As I look back at the annual meeting I think it may well go down as the...
So croons country singer, Ronnie Milsap.
In many ways spiritually I'm a child of the fifties. I am fully prepared for a number of reminders at the SBC that we "can't go back to the fifties." I'm sure we can't. Time moves forward, not backward. The methodologies of doing church, like technology, have moved far past those years.
But, it wasn't all bad.
If you have never listened to an automobile 8-track, you ain't lived. But, do we ever have the technology to do...
In the interest of full disclosure, I must make a few confessions. I have actually presided over some boring SBC meeting sessions (although I presided over some humdingers as well!).
I have sat through a lot of boring meetings. I have dodged some boring ones and attended the "real convention" (the bookstore exhibit). I have even tried to liven up some
Saturday (5-23) I agreed to allow my name to be added to the Great Commission Resurgence document "with caveats." I did this for two reasons.
First, I want to affirm my trust in the intentions of our president, Dr. Johnny Hunt, and Dr. Danny Akin, president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. I join them in a desire that the Southern Baptist Convention have a resurgence of winning people to Christ. As a past president of the Convention, a member of the Peace...
I’m getting a new brand. Yep. At age 71 I’ve decided I need guyliner.
What is guyliner? It is the male version of eyeliner. And, it is the latest rage among some celebrity guys. Adam Lambert, a finalist on American Idol, brought public attention to it.
A recent USA Today article mentioned several famous guys whose eyes have it: Nestor Carbonell. Russell Brand. David Cook. Pete Wentz. I presume they are football stars or UPS drivers.
I can see where...
The story of Miss California, Carrie Prejean, continues.
Her response when the homosexual judge asked her about same-sex marriage is worth remembering . She said, as she quickly contemplated her answer to the question, she asked herself "am I trying to be politically correct, or do I want to be biblically correct? And I think that I want to be biblically correct. All I could think about when I was standing there, answering that question was, 'Carrie, what are your beliefs?'"
I...
I certainly don't put forth myself as a paragon of excellence relative to language in the pulpit. I've made my mistakes, said things poorly, and have said things I regret. But, I can say I have tried to remember always that I was speaking for a Holy God, from the precious Word of God, and standing behind what I have always been told is the "sacred desk."
I am all for making every effort to communicate to our modern audiences. Tools of good communication can prayerfully...
