Where Are They Keeping That Secret Book?

UPDATE: One actually should be wondering at what kind of church will a person be ostracized and labeled for not believing the whole enchilada. Who is drawing the lines here on what is and is not "essential" to the complementarian position?

Evangelism Won't Cure It

It's a rant. Adjust your volume and thinking accordingly.

My denomination is about to have a ten year emphasis on evangelism.

I've been a Southern Baptist since birth. As far as I know, my denomination has never had any other emphasis than evangelism.

How My Wife's Catholicism Has Changed Me For The Better: A Birthday Reflection

For you people that don't know this story, I've pulled almost everything off the site that refers to it, so I'm sorry about that.
