I voted “no” on the amendment…
— Not because I hold to an Egal view
— Not because I thought the langauge in it was wrong
— Not because I dislike like Dr. @albertmohler
— Not because I’ve been brainwashed by leftist culture lol
— Not because I don’t like the Scriptures
— I could keep going…
But, rather because:
— There’s no liberal drift in the SBC
— We have attacked this issue head-on 4 straight years and have been clear
— The BFM2000 hits this and works
— The credentials committee does their job
— We don’t need another headline on this, it distracts from the mission
— The loudness doesn’t help with church planting efforts… rather hinders momentum… especially in predominantly lost cities. Think missionally.
— Would rather honor what the Bible does permit for women than quadruple down on what it forbids… especially when it’s a nonissue in our convention
— Tired of the topic being a major when it’s not.
— Tired of people having an unhealthy desire for conflict and rivalry. Let’s do better.

@MediaHuman Will we have a working version for when Macos 27 is released? Funny, this is like one of the main apps I am concerned about. I'm sure there are others I will want updated, but this one is gold for me.
@DennyBurk What’s next? A required amount for each to give to the cooperative program? This could go on and on and before we know it, the churches are being told what to do instead of the Church is telling the dimension. Just saying.
“There’s hope for every person. Where there’s death, Jesus gives life. He makes people new.”
In chapel today, Dr. Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation and Professor of Biblical Theology, preached from Mark 5 and the account of the Gerasene demoniac. He traced the depth of the man’s bondage, the authority of Christ over a legion of demons, and the quiet beauty of a life restored.
The townspeople asked Jesus to leave. The freed man asked to follow. And Jesus sent him home with a clear calling, tell how much the Lord has done for you.
The same Christ who calmed the storm calms the soul. He sets captives free. He makes sinners new.
