Let these stones be a witness to what we have done here this day.

San Antonio '07

At the Mic with Drs. York and Land

Jun 17th, 2007 | By art rogers | Category: SBC, San Antonio '07

Well, believe it or not, I don’t read all the comment threads of many posts any more, so you might be surprised to know that I had no idea that Dr. Hershael York had described my actions and motivations on Wade’s comment thread on this post: The Transcript of the 2007 SBC Debate [...]



End Game

Jun 14th, 2007 | By art rogers | Category: Live Blogging, SBC, San Antonio '07

A little over a year ago, I struggled with Steve McCoy. On the one hand, I found him insightful and challenging as I was growing in my understanding of being Missional and leading in a Missional way. On the other hand, he had begun to decry some of the political discussions in which I was [...]



Ed Stetzer brings powerful response

Jun 13th, 2007 | By art rogers | Category: Live Blogging, SBC, San Antonio '07

Ed’s sermon was devastating. I was personally crushed in my spirit being convicted of my distraction from the message of hope to the lost.
Ed also devastated the convention, addressing the BFM, division on tertiary issues and putting the misson first.
The video is a must.
Again, this is another leader among us who has stepped to [...]



Danny Akin stands apart

Jun 13th, 2007 | By art rogers | Category: Live Blogging, SBC, San Antonio '07

Danny Akin, just endorsed the motion adopting the BFM, separating himself from Mohler, Patterson and Kelley.
He also said that no issue would be adopted by SEBTS that would keep people from going to share the Gospel. Clearly, in context,
this is a statement that they would not go beyond the BFM with doctrinal issues.
When asked [...]



Southern Report

Jun 13th, 2007 | By art rogers | Category: Live Blogging, SBC, San Antonio '07

Let me say first that this will not be a long nor detailed article. I did not stay for the Southern Seminary report. My messengers were leaving to get home so that they could go to work tomorrow, and I wanted to spend a little time with them before they left. I [...]



Resolutions

Jun 13th, 2007 | By art rogers | Category: Live Blogging, SBC, San Antonio '07

There is not a lot here, but there are some things in which you may be interested, so I’ll tell you what I think/know.
Almost every resolution published on the internet was either folded into another resolution or declined. This is true for all sides of discussion within the SBC Blogosphere.
CB Scott’s resolution on rescuing [...]



Intermission

Jun 13th, 2007 | By art rogers | Category: Live Blogging, SBC, San Antonio '07

I am interrupting my live blogging for a time of much needed sleep.
When I wake up from my nap, I am going to blog about the resolutions from this morning, the “report” from Dr. Mohler, and the overall landscape.
Stetzer speaks tonight and you can expect highly readable material regarding that and other things from me [...]



Spinning Morris Chapman

Jun 13th, 2007 | By art rogers | Category: Live Blogging, SBC, San Antonio '07

I hate spin. Honesty is so much more refreshing. I try my best to be honest without spin, but am sometimes found having fallen to the temptation.
Morris Chapman’s address yesterday seems to be spin central in the blogosphere.
If you are reading this, you probably know that I believe he made it clear that [...]



BFM Motion Analysis

Jun 13th, 2007 | By art rogers | Category: Live Blogging, SBC, San Antonio '07

First let me say that all other motions, I believe, have either been referred or ruled out of order, so Resolutions tomorrow and Ed Stetzer’s sermon tomorrow night will be the highlights, in my view.
I believe the BFM motion passed at about a 60/40 split. David Troublefield cited some numbers in a comment section [...]



BFM referrendum.

Jun 12th, 2007 | By art rogers | Category: Live Blogging, SBC, San Antonio '07

I’ll post more tonight, but I think the motion passed, and did so decisively.
In depth analysis after I get back from supper with the Alabama contingent.
