HeadTheology

While boring myself watching ‘Kong’ tonight I decided to get on the web and browse around when low and behold I found a really interesting fact. A Baptist minister named Elijah Craig, who founded Georgetown College here in Kentucky, is credited with inventing bourbon. He even has a bourbon named after him. Check it out here.

Perhaps he can this year’s Heritage Week Baptist minister to focus on and learn how to emulate.

I found this browsing the internet today and thought it was pretty funny, considering the current resolution. You can get the full article on the sign here.

I feel like I am the only blogger who has not commented on the SBC alcohol resolution and I for one am dang glad they passed it.  That doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy that fermented blessing but hopefully it is just the beginning of laws/resolutions to come.  I am a fan of laws and would like to introduce of my own.  Here are a few of them.

1.  No fast foods
-This reasoning is pretty simple if you have ever seen the documentary ‘Super Size Me.’  Those who say that alcohol is bad all the way around have to admit fast food may not have the social implications that alcohol does but it certainly has physical ones.   It  shouldn’t matter whether some of  us can eat fast food in moderation and still take care of the temple of the holy spirit but since food like this is a problem, aiding to America’s obesity problem (I think it is the 2nd leading cause of death).
2.  Concering Materialism
-This is one in which I am sort of serious.  I think this goes for churches as well as individuals in the church.  I (along with most I figure) am in a constant battle with materialism.  God has said more about money than alcohol so it only makes sense that a resolution be passed concerning this.  When I see a Baptist preacher driving around in a Jag or a Benz (of which I am sure that is rare but nonetheless) it makes me wonder what the heck he did to be able to get that, and more importantly how do I get that.  Did he start preaching like Creflo or Benny or did he just have 40 days of purpose?  And if so I just might start preaching like that to get those things.  So for those who are leaders in the SBC, who we simpleminded seminarians are to follow, can I recommend a few concrete laws to help us out.  Firstly, no one should own a car that looks like it cost more than 30 grand and it can’t be brand new.  Secondly, in reference to the church, no one should pastor or back a church that spends more on their interest for their facilities than they do for missions in a year.

Of course I am basically kidding when I write these things but I hope that you see how easily one extra biblical law can degenerate and be used against anyone but also all of those above things can be used in moderation.  So lets just call it what it is.  SBC alcohol resolution = Phariseeism.
