Dan DeWitt Boyce College Dean 5 Meet Boyce College Boyce College is named in recognition of the great Baptist statesman and co-founder of The Southern Baptist Theo- logical Seminary, James P. Boyce. In 1974, Boyce Bible School was founded and offered students an associate of arts degree. Under the guiding hand of Southern Seminary President R. Albert Mohler Jr., Boyce Bible School became Boyce College in 1998. Trip Lee Hometown: Washington D.C. Age: 24 Degree: B.A. Biblical & Theological Studies “My aim is to write spiritual songs influenced and empowered by the Spirit of God.” n 2004, Trip Lee met Reach Records artist Lecrae. This led to his signing with the label and I releasing his debut album, If They Only Knew. Several albums later – including 2012’s The Good Life – Trip is an increasingly influential voice in the hip-hop movement. “I fell in love with hip-hop before I fell in love with Jesus,” Lee says. “Music was an obses- sion for me at a young age, and there was nothing I loved more than getting a new CD. My rhymes were mostly about how great I thought I was. Ironically, my music wasn’t good yet. It was just an overflow of my love for the art form. “When I was 14 years old, Jesus saved me and my entire life took on new meaning. My friendships, my interaction with my parents and even my music had to be reshaped around the Lord. I wanted my music to glorify God instead of me. Ten years later that desire remains.” 8 N.D.

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.
