As I continue to post The Continuing Collapse each month on this blog, there is a steady stream of public school defenders who insist that, although TCC has been finding and publishing evidence of widespread corruption, under-achievement, radical Gramscian marxism, violence, fraud and more in the American education establishment from coast-to-coast, this has no impact on these people's educational choice because (altogether now) "their schools are different!" Of course, the main difference i...

"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and then misapplying the wrong remedies."

 Here richly, with ridiculous display,The Politician's corpse was laid away.
While all of his acquaintance sneered and slanged
I wept: for I had longed to see him hanged.

As Pastor of Preaching at GFBC, part of my responsibility has been leading us to worship in a manner fitting our theology and philosophy of ministry. This has included developing a theological and practical approach to music that fits our doctrine. Most of this task now rests on the capable shoulders of Richard Rector, who has matured into a fine worship leader.

Our goal at GFBC is to sing music that is rich in theology, melody and lyric. As a result, most of our music consists of hymns w...

In every sermon, blog, newsletter, article I have agreed with you on every issue except one, predestination. Although I myself do not believe in predestination in a Calvinistic sort of way, I am curious and many people I hear defending Calvinists, never really answer my questions like I know many Calvinists believe in the Great commission, naturally, but why? If every body already has a spot reserved for them why evangelize, or why pray to change things if things are already set in stone? I g...

Have you ever asked, "where are the creative filmmakers?" Or how about, "did they really have to be that graphic to get their point across?" Well here's a commercial that answers both questions. It is one of the most creative, beautiful, thought provoking and powerful pieces of video I've seen. My only criticism is the absence of wedding rings (you probably wouldn't have caught that, and I may have just ruined it for you, but I look for it since there's a trend toward avoid them in commer...

"STRENGTH AND DIGNITY ARE HER CLOTHING"

Last summer, I spent a week in Louisiana with a dear friend of mine who was there for the summer nannying for her aunt and uncle. I had never been to New Orleans before, and hadn't seen my friend for several weeks; also, it was my first time away from home alone (my family had to leave me in Houston with friends once, when a spur-of-the-moment sinus and double-ear infection kept me from hopping a plane to Georgia with them, but that was ...

Tomorrow, Saturday, January 30, 2010 is Asher's third birthday. That may not mean a whole lot to you, but it means a great deal in the Baucham house. We make a big deal of birthdays. And since there are so many of us now, we don't even have to invite a bunch of people over to have a nice party. This year, along with his Spiderman cake and Thomas the Train shirt, Asher is getting a special gift from daddy... He's going with me on a ministry trip to Chicago. I'm headed up to do a Men's Ret...

One of the most common objections to our criticism of the government education system is the idea that "some people don't have a choice" since they "can't afford" to do anything other than ship their children off to the local government school. Well, this news bulletin should put that nonsense to rest. If a family is truly committed to keeping their children out of the clutches of the immoral, unsafe, anti-Christian government schools, they'll do whatever it takes. I don't say that because...
