http://theplowman.org/2006/09/25/whats-wrong-with-southern-baptist-churches/ A podcast featuring the pulpit ministry of Trinity Baptist Church, Tulsa, Oklahoma Sun, 20 May 2012 00:22:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 http://theplowman.org/2006/09/25/whats-wrong-with-southern-baptist-churches/comment-page-1/#comment-390 Mary Tue, 26 Sep 2006 19:27:02 +0000 http://theplowman.org/2006/09/25/whats-wrong-with-southern-baptist-churches/#comment-390 I'll let you know when I figure it out. ;) What I am seeing is the consumer mentality coupled with an understanding of salvation as merely fire insurance. Discussing how many in our churches participate in Halloween, my sister said "They want all that the church offers [fire insurance? church programs? babysitting? entertainment?] AND the world!" For the record, I am speaking of the celebration of Halloween more as a symptom of the problem than THE problem itself. A couple of recent conversations had me raving "PAGANS!" on the way home. I do not understand or like what I have seen of the SBC culture. Thank you and Mrs. Plowman for giving us something better. I’ll let you know when I figure it out.
