Associated Baptist Press - Opinion: Baptist battles and Christian graces
Serving a church dually aligned with SBC and CBF is an interesting charge, considering that in North Carolina each side is moving closer to total divorce rather than unity. However, David Gushee shares a heartfelt testimony how both responded lovingly to different crises in his life. Do SBC and CBF churches and organizations have more in common than they are willing to admit? At least the author of this article and I agree that they do - love for one another.
"And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit." (2 Corinthians 3:18, NRSV)

Associated Baptist Press - J.C. Watts says Christians should repudiate extremist groups
Christian are called to respond to their enemies with love. Why are we even referring to extremist groups as "fundamentalist" Christians? It is time that churches denounce pastors such as Fred Phelps, whose followers protest military funerals, and the like, who participate in organizations that plot violence against others in the name of Christ.
Great article!
