A Great Commission Resurgence in the SBC
Apr 27th
A new website has been created with an online petition calling for a Great Commission Resurgence in the Southern Baptist Convention. The Declaration looks pretty good. If you wish, you can go HERE to sign it.
Bridge-Building in the SBC
Feb 18th
As a seminary student, I am very thankful for men like Tom Ascol, Alvin Reid, Nathan Finn, Daniel Akin, and Ed Stetzer (to name only a few) who exhibit biblical charity when dealing with issues that are, quite frankly, secondary.
I am excited then by SEBT’s announcment today on their Between the Times blog that they will be conducting an “Exercise in Bridge-Building” over the next few days.
To be honest, I’m tired of the ceaseless shouting-matches by the theological grown-ups. I’m glad some know how to disagree with biblical love and charity.

Jan 18th
Michael Spencer (the Internet Monk) has a great post today on whether the SBC is “getting it”.
Here’s the real gem of the post:
What’s still not there? It’s the Gospel stupid. Not buildings, programs and methods. That will help, more or less, but it won’t get to the core of the SBC’s problem: vast numbers of people who don’t know the gospel, preach the gospel, teach the gospel, believe the gospel or see a need to shape the integrity of the church around the gospel. If the SBC decides that blaming Calvinists, printing more literature, more conferences and promoting more bureaucrat designed solutions isn’t the answer, it will have made enormous progress. When it figures out that the centrality of the Gospel and the core implications that come from the Gospel are what’s missing across the SBC landscape, real hope will dawn. I thank God for all the faithful people working to make the Gospel, once again, the central focus of the cooperative, evangelistic, mission-centered ministry of Southern Baptists. Don’t quit! -Michael Spencer
