Bringing Kingdom relief

I wonder how many people out there need us as Baptists to come together to bring relief.

Unsung heroes

I invite you to reconsider the actual appearance of a hero.  I tend to think of the young, strong, and energetic.  While true, there is actually another class of hero who lives very differently, even the opposite.

Greatest estate plan ever

But, the resurrection is about another and better estate plan. Jesus reminded his friends that in His Father’s house there are many mansions, (estates) and He has gone to prepare one for each of us.

Extra time on your hands?

I would encourage you to take a few of those extra moments to consider your estate plan.

Mo. Baptist Foundation, LifeWay resources available to churches for online giving

A gift can be made to any Missouri Baptist church with a credit/debit card or check from the comfort of home.  It can be designated to your home church by a simple request. 

MBF, LifeWay resources available to churches for online giving

As our global community navigates the personal and business implications of COVID-19, the Missouri Baptist Foundation (MBF) wishes to help Missouri Baptist churches.  We want to serve your church’s needs while you are caring for the ministry needs of your congregation.

A new perspective on the ‘interim’ status

I wonder if you have made the necessary legal arrangements to make sure you and your family will be protected when your “interim” status ends.

Overcoming our thinkin’ problem

My mind is not just crunching data and reports the facts to me, it is partial, with seemingly an agenda, leading me away and swaying me often against my own good. John Piper says, our minds don’t just view things, they have a viewpoint which leads to a “mindset” that eventually will lead to death.

Why did we buy Windermere?

So you might be wondering…Why would Straightway Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of the Missouri Baptist Foundation, purchase a distressed campground called Windermere Baptist Conference Center?

Happy New Year!

I am not here to advocate one way or the other (we are Baptist after all with no Baptist being able to tell another Baptist what they should do), but with many church ministries starting at the beginning of the school year, a non-calendar fiscal year is it at least worthy of a discussion.
