Based on the history and growth of Sunday School in these churches, interviews, and personal perspectives, this paper will describe lessons that were learned and the principles that are effective for Sunday School growth.
Connecting With One Another: A Step By Step Approach To Guest And New Member Assimilation, Kevin Ray Milburn
Connecting With One Another: A Step By Step Approach To Guest And New Member Assimilation, Kevin Ray Milburn
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This project was born out of frustrating experiences at assimilating new members into church life, and disheartening statistics proving this is a common problem in Kentucky Southern Baptist churches. After reviewing literature pertaining to the topic, it became apparent there was a need for a simple, workable program for churches to use in assimilation. This project highlights the CONNECT strategy, a small group Sunday School program, which this author created to put into place at a model church. After gathering statistics from this model church since the program’s inception, it is evident that this CONNECT strategy does work for assimilation.

Antony Flew’S Deism Revisited: A Review Essay On ‘There Is A God’, Gary R. Habermas
Antony Flew’S Deism Revisited: A Review Essay On ‘There Is A God’, Gary R. Habermas
Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary (1973-2015)
When preeminent philosophical atheist Antony Flew announced in 2004 that he had come to believe in God's existence and was probably best considered a deist, the reaction from both believers and skeptics was "off the chart." Few religious stories had this sort of appeal and impact, across the spectrum, both popular as well as theoretical. No recent change of mind has received this much attention. Flew responded by protesting that his story really did not deserve this much interest. But as he explained repeatedly, he simply had to go where the evidence led.
