  • Baptist Gun Giveaway
    Baptist gun giveaway Kentucky Baptists use gun giveaways to lure unchurched to Christ Andrew Wolfson The Courier-Journal Feb. 28, 2014 In an effort its spokesman has described as "outreach to rednecks," the Kentucky Baptist Convention is leading "Second Amendment Celebrations," where churches around the state give away guns as door prizes to lure in non-believers in hopes of converting them to Christ. Chuck McAlister uses the love of guns and hunting in Kentucky as a “bridge to unchurched men so they will hear what we have to say.” As many as 1,000 people are expected at the next one, on Thursday at Lone Oak Baptist Church in Paducah, where they will be given a free steak dinner and the chance to win one of 25 handguns, long guns and shotguns. The goal is to "point people to Christ," the church says in a flier. Chuck McAlister, an ex-pastor, master storyteller and former Outdoor Channel hunting show host who presides at the events as the Kentucky Baptist Convention's team leader for evangelism, said 1,678 men made "professions of faith" at about 50 such events last year, most of them in Kentucky. In Louisville, he said, more than 500 people showed up on a snowy January day for a gun giveaway at Highview Baptist Church in Louisville, and 61 made decisions to seek salvation. ADVERTISING McAlister's boss, Paul Chitwood, the Kentucky Baptist Convention's executive director, says such results speak for themselves. "It's been very effective," he said in an interview. But other clergy question what guns and gun rights have to do with with sharing the Gospel.

Stephens June 2, 1999 Honors Program Senior Project Dr. Mark Hulsether, Advisor Dr. Thomas Broadhead, Honors Program Director 1 In 1984 the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) passed the following resolution at its annual meeting. As this resolution proves, the gains ofwomen in SBC church leadership have not kept pace with the advances of women in the broader American culture in the aftermath of the women 's movement. This lack of symmetry is in large part the result of a conflict between progressivism and increasingly prevalent conservatism in society, politics, the broader religious landscape, and the SBC in particular.

  • Christian Ethics: Responding to Slander
    WAYNE GRUDEM | CHRISTIAN ETHICS: RESPONDING TO SLANDER In wrestling with a biblical response to slander, we contacted my favorite seminary professor, Wayne Grudem. He directed me to his book, Christian Ethics, which is endorsed by Al Mohler and also by one of our church member’s from the Deerfield Road campus, John Kilner. “Insightful, encyclopedic, biblical, and distinctively evangelical, this new book from Grudem is a massive contribution to Christian ethics. It will stand as one of the most important and definitive works of this generation.” — R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary “…Grudem’s Christian Ethics is a breath of fresh air. … Where his views are at odds with other views, even within evangelical Christianity, he explains those alternatives to his readers and invites comparisons. Readers are challenged to think and are given the material they need to do so in a God-honoring way.” — John F. Kilner, Director of Bioethics Programs, Trinity International University Here is what Wayne Grudem wrote about responding to slander… — Pastor James MacDonald 2. The Necessity of Responding to Slander. The Westminster Larger Catechism, in further explanation of the ninth commandment, says that it also requires “love and care of our own good name and defending it when need requireth (Question 144). It gives to scripture references in support: A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold. (Prov. 22:1) Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.” (John 8:49) The second passage illustrates a general pattern in Jesus's ministry.
