NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)–In January, “reform” was the rally cry of the Democrat-controlled Congress that took office in 2007, but reform also was the prescription offered in sports with the late December release of the Mitchell Report detailing the wide extent of steroid and human growth hormone use in Major League Baseball. Meanwhile, the lack of […]

"Just keep them. They're not worth much anyway." It's a common exchange I see when I stop at the gas station for a soda, or when I stand in line at a restaurant to pay the bill. People just don't value the penny anymore. Some give them away, a few even throw them in the […]

Take a good look at Jacob Barker Hall. Whether in person or by photo it's hard not to see his bright eyes and engaging smile and not know the joy and the zest that define this nine-year-old's life. His speech and his physical awkwardness give glimpses of his Down Syndrome, but any signs of motor […]

LAKE FOREST, Calif. (BP)--More than a million individuals live with HIV/AIDS in the U.S.; yet, despite responding with Christ's compassion to care for the sick and to meet the needs of "the least of these" in so many other instances, evangelicals in America largely have struggled with how to respond in ministry to those stricken with this disease.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--UNAIDS, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, caused quite a stir with the release of the latest figures describing the extent of the global AIDS epidemic.

PARIS, Tenn. (BP)--Surveying the roughly 300 new believers and others crowding the platform for the last altar call of a four-day crusade, evangelist Rick Gage of Duluth, Ga., confidently proclaimed, "With a team of committed followers this size, we can turn Paris and Henry County upside down for Jesus."       For Gage, it is not just an empty expression; instead, it is the focus of his ministry. He organizes crusades in county-seat cities across America not simply to evoke professions of faith, but to help those who truly are saved make a commitment for life. He comes alongside churches in the area to help them continue to evangelize the city long after his group leaves for the next town.

EDITORS’ NOTE: Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas, and Duncan Hunter, U.S. representative from California, are Southern Baptists running for U.S. president in 2008. Baptist Press contacted their respective campaigns and today publishes a three-part package about Huckabee’s policy positions and values. Our interview with Hunter will run next week. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)–Speaking across America, […]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)–Symbolically at least, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee follows in the footsteps of three high-profile politicians who identified themselves as Southern Baptists. Unfortunately, once in office Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Jimmy Carter rejected Southern Baptist values and beliefs. Jimmy Carter — following his departure from the White House — went so far […]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--I watched clips of Kathy Griffin's acceptance speech for winning a creative arts Emmy for her reality show, "My Life on the D-List," and her comments are nothing short of profane and blasphemous.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--The saying goes, "A rose by any other name is a rose," but I have a corollary I'd like to offer, "You can call a dead fish a rose, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a dead fish."
