  • 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.

  • The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission | Here We Stand
    The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission | Here We Stand As evangelical Christians, we dissent from the court’s ruling that redefines marriage. The state did not create the family, and should not try to recreate the family in its own image. We will not capitulate on marriage because biblical authority requires that we cannot. The outcome of the Supreme Court’s ruling to redefine marriage represents what seems like the result of a half-century of witnessing marriage’s decline through divorce, cohabitation, and a worldview of almost limitless sexual freedom. The Supreme Court’s actions pose incalculable risks to an already volatile social fabric by alienating those whose beliefs about marriage are motivated by deep biblical convictions and concern for the common good. The Bible clearly teaches the enduring truth that marriage consists of one man and one woman. From Genesis to Revelation, the authority of Scripture witnesses to the nature of biblical marriage as uniquely bound to the complementarity of man and woman. This truth is not negotiable. The Lord Jesus himself said that marriage is from the beginning (Matt. 19:4-6), so no human institution has the authority to redefine marriage any more than a human institution has the authority to redefine the gospel, which marriage mysteriously reflects (Eph. 5:32). The Supreme Court’s ruling to redefine marriage demonstrates mistaken judgment by disregarding what history and countless civilizations have passed on to us, but it also represents an aftermath that evangelicals themselves, sadly, are not guiltless in contributing to. Too often, professing evangelicals have failed to model the ideals we so dearly cherish and believe are central to gospel proclamation.

Christ wants the churches to advance, to impact our world with the gospel, and we exist to help them do that. One wise baseball philosopher said: “A runner will never advance to 2nd base by keeping his foot on fi rst.” Every church – and our association – must be moving forward, gaining ground. We may not be satisfi ed to rest upon the victories of yesterday or be paralyzed by any uncertainties of today! The eternal God is all-suffi cient! Advancing requires of us these things: 1) the proper mindset, to think outside our boxes, venture outside our buildings, advance outside our comfort zones, lay aside our prejudices and preconceived notions; 2) courage, to face challenges with faith, boldness and determination; 3) use of technology to make us visible, accessible and eff ective in communicating God´s truth in today’s world, and to keep ourselves informed and in touch as an association; 4) effi ciency, to streamline and work strategically, eliminate redundancy and use time wisely; 5) excellence in every undertaking, doing everything as unto the Lord Himself, for He deserves nothing less than our absolute best allegiance and eff ort; 6) vision, to make a bee line from where we are to where we need to be, proactively taking the proper steps to get there; 7) unity, taking all steps in unison – in partnership and fellowship, for no house divided against itself can stand – and will certainly not glorify God; 8) urgency, for organizations and legislation that directly defy God and muzzle His people have gained such a foothold that we can no longer stand by passively without speaking up.
