Southern Baptists, Evangelicals, and the Future of Denominationalism

It looks like my alma mater, Union University, is putting together another great conference. It will address key issues within the Southern Baptist Convention as well as broader evangelicalism. The lineup includes Duane Litfin, Michael Lindsay, Timothy George, Albert Mohler, Ed Stetzer, Danny Akin, Ray Van Neste, and many more. The cost is $85 and it should be worth every dollar. So start saving your allowance now.

Union Students to Stay at Church Hotel

I emailed my good friend Ben Mandrell, Senior Pastor of Englewood Baptist Church, the other day to find out what some of us in Nashville might be able to do to help out at Union.  Ben didn’t have much information for me but he did let me know how the Lord’s providence allowed Englewood to tend to a major need of students on campus.

To my knowledge, it has been used for several ministries within the church while still functioning as a hotel. However, it seems that divine providence has revealed the greatest use of this facility thus far. Englewood has offered the hotel space to Union as a means of housing over 300 students who no longer have a dorm room. The Lord certainly provides.
