As you read this, you will be one of the first to visit this blog. A word or two about the title, and purpose. In reading many of the blogs by significant leaders and experienced pastors, etc, I have noticed that there seems to be an abundance of problems and challenges within and without the SBC, CBF, BGCT, and all the other Baptist groups. Faithful bloggers have not missed opportunities to point these out, sometimes offering solutions, but mostly articulating the source of the problems as they see it. Of course, this stirs up those with opposing views, who seem to be waiting to post their opinions on whatever blog they find, and thus the battle is joined.
It seems to me that in the midst of the heated discussions that occur on so many blogs, there ought to be a time and opportunity to offer praise to our Father and to the Lord Jesus Christ for the many good things that are happening in our lives, our churches, the various missionary and outreach organizations here and abroad. This is not to ignore the many serious disagreements that exist within our ranks, but simply to say that in the midst of the chaos which seems to be pervading our world, there are many wonderful things taking place that demonstrate the love and power of God at work in human lives.
So this is the reason for the blog. You are welcome to post your contributions, preferably "reasons for praise." However, don't hesitate to post prayer concerns, suggestions for the blog, encouragements for fellow travelers, etc.
