Uth wants Florida Baptist pastors to “join me on a journey that will take us closer to being everything that God had in mind the day He called us and the day He placed us in this state.”
Anyone who doubts that religious liberty is threatened by the homosexual rights movement need look no further than computer giant Apple and its recent decision to remove the Manhattan Declaration application from its mobile devices.
As an Apple products enthusiast—MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad—my favorite computer company’s action on this matter is deeply troubling. But you don’t have to be an Apple user like me to understand the dangerous implications of Steve Jobs’ wrongheaded decision.

The late wife of Westside Baptist’s longtime senior pastor, Gary Crawford, Freda died Nov. 12, 2009, after a nine-year-long battle with multiple myeloma.

RICHMOND, Va. (BP)—Most of us are very familiar with the words of Paul in chapter 10 of Romans, “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent?” (Romans 10:13-15a ESV).
“When an institution so central to human experience suddenly changes shape in the space of a generation or two, it’s worth trying to figure out why.” Belinda Luscombe of TIME magazine made that observation in the course of reporting on a major study of marriage undertaken by TIME and the Pew Research Center. In the cover story for the magazine’s November 29, 2010 edition, Luscombe summarizes their findings with a blunt statement: “What we found is that marriage, whatever its social, spiritual, or symbolic appeal, is in purely practical terms just not as necessary as it used to be.”
Twenty years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that state laws that interfered with the free exercise of religion were constitutional provided their requirements applied equally to everyone.

OKEECHOBEE (FBW)—A recent Harvest Festival at Buckhead Ridge Baptist Church in Okeechobee jump started a ministry to children—something the church thought of as unnecessary in the past several years.

During these difficult economic times, maybe the smart thing to do is settle down, search for stable jobs and save for the future.
We Southern Baptists have just undertaken an in-depth study of our total organization, structures, and procedures. One widely accepted goal is to become once again a people totally dedicated to fulfilling the Great Commission. Pastors have preached on such topics as growing Great Commission families. We have been asked to embrace Great Commission giving in which we under-gird our efforts financially. In these times of economic stagnation, our Cooperative Program, with the corresponding dip in funds for missions, is suffering. In our study to today, we will see how God nudged the Jerusalem Christians to enlarge their vision.
