RA Congress to celebrate missions in Sedalia, April 21

March 14, 2023 By Contributing Writer

by Travis Webb SEDALIA – Boys from all over the state will gather at the State Fairgrounds for a celebration of missions on Friday night, April 21. RA Congress is an annual event for boys in grades 1-6 and the leaders who bring them. The event is named for Royal Ambassadors (RAs) which was founded by the Women’s Missionary Union in 1908 as an organization to involve boys in missions from an early age. Even though this is an RA event that will fit well into a church’s RA program, all … [Read more...]

Tens of thousands protest gay ‘marriage’ decision in Mexico

August 30, 2015 By Contributing Writer

SOFIA VAZQUEZ-MELLADO/LifeSiteNews MEXICO CITY – Tens of thousands took to the streets of major Mexican cities under the slogan “Mexico is One for the Children,” to ask the government to respect state constitutions that define marriage as the union of one man and one woman, after a recent Mexico Supreme Court ruling legalized same-sex unions throughout the country. “We are not against any person, we are against this Supreme Court imposition,” said Sofia Miranda, one of the organizers, in … [Read more...]

Broken pencils, burned clothes

August 14, 2015 By Contributing Writer

“…this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.” – 2 Thessalonians 3:10 How sad to see a child show up at school in the fall with little to work with and inadequate clothing!  How good it feels when we can do something to prevent this from happening.  It is heartening to see so many things being done to “help” children succeed in school, but perhaps we should take a closer look at the results of our efforts. Many times I have seen pencils in classrooms that … [Read more...]

Marriage, Supreme Court deserves fervent prayer

May 12, 2015 By Contributing Writer

NASHVILLE (BP) – The Supreme Court will soon decide whether states can legally choose to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. It is a watershed moment in our nation’s history. The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission has filed briefs with the court; argued in public and in private about why marriage, defined as the union of one man and one woman, matters as a social good; and more than there is space to list here. But beyond all this we as Christians and churches … [Read more...]

Cuba trip confirms SBC president’s call to prayer

April 28, 2015 By Contributing Writer

BAYAMO, Cuba (BP) -- Southern Baptist Convention President Ronnie Floyd believes the church-planting movement sweeping Cuba could happen in the United States if Southern Baptists and other U.S. believers commit themselves to "extraordinary prayer for the next Great Awakening." "There has never been any great movement of God ... that was not first preceded by extraordinary prayer of God's people. And we need a mighty spiritual awakening in our nation," said Floyd, who last year began an … [Read more...]

Is the SBC in a golden era of theological education?

April 28, 2015 By Contributing Writer

KANSAS CITY (BP) – Since the Southern Baptist Convention’s founding in 1845, the SBC’s primary – and most unifying – effort has been collaborative missionary efforts. That was our raison d’ê·tre in 1845 and it remains so today. Yet, even during the SBC’s earliest years, theological education was an accompanying concern. Early SBC luminaries such as R.B.C. Howell, W.B. Johnson, Basil Manly Sr., Basil Manly Jr. and, most especially, James P. Boyce called for a common theological institution … [Read more...]

Rural church chops wood to share the love of God

April 23, 2015 By Contributing Writer

ATLANTA – In many rural communities across Missouri, families burn wood as their primary or secondary heating source. One northern Missouri church supplies firewood to needy families as a way of reaching out with God’s love. First Baptist Church, Atlanta, created a “woodcutting ministry” three years ago as a way to help out some of their members and it spread into an outreach ministry for folks in the area who were having trouble cutting or buying the wood needed for their stoves and … [Read more...]

Two churches merge for kingdom impact

April 23, 2015 By Contributing Writer

ST. JOSEPH – Dennis and Brenda Riggs figure they got the best deal when their church blended with another congregation. “We got a granddaughter out of the merge,” Dennis Riggs says. The couple are long-time members and serve in the food pantry ministry of King Hill Baptist Church in St. Joseph. Several months ago, King Hill merged with Carnegie Baptist Church to form a new congregation. That’s when the Riggs met 17-year-old Destinee Steele, who attended Carnegie, and discovered they … [Read more...]

FBC Cameron sees eightfold MMO increase

April 23, 2015 By Contributing Writer

CAMERON – Driven by a desire to reach their Missouri neighbors for Christ, the congregation at First Baptist Church, Cameron, dug deep and gave generously to the Missouri Missions Offering (MMO) in 2014. More than quadrupling their goal of $4,000 and increasing their 2013 offering by eightfold, the church of about 240 gave a total of $18,954 to missions efforts in Missouri. According to Pastor John Sconce (pseudonym used for security purposes), this outpouring is the fruit of a three-year … [Read more...]

Trustees also heard reports from Chief Operating Officer John R. Jones and from the executive officers of GuideStone. Investments “We wrapped up … [Read more...]

Keeping the Southern Baptist faith

April 9, 2015 By Contributing Writer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Southern Baptist Convention with 15 million members is the largest Protestant denomination in the country. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., is its oldest and arguably most influential seminary. Albert Mohler has been president at Southern Seminary for more than 20 years, but when he arrived there as a young man still in his 30s, he had a huge task before him. The seminary had taken a hard, left turn in liberalism, and his job was to do no … [Read more...]

‘Do You Believe?’ is powerful follow-up to ‘God’s Not Dead’

April 9, 2015 By Contributing Writer

NASHVILLE – What’s the best evangelistic movie ever? By that, I mean the best film that has, at its core, the Gospel – and one that makes the message of Christ the film’s theme. I have a new nomination, and it came out in theaters March 20. The film is called Do You Believe?, a movie that follows the lives of a dozen people as they face their own unique challenges in life and must decide what they believe about God – and then what they’re going to do about it.  It’s written by the same … [Read more...]
