“Americans are war-weary. You might say, ‘Join the club.’ But we are not you [Israel]... [Even] many global war on terror veterans are disillusioned."
— @WilliamWolfe at NatCon Jerusalem.
@WilliamWolfe from Glenrock Baptist Church makes a motion to unequivocally condemn the politically motivated assassination of Charlie Kirk, by name, and then spends two minutes speaking to the impact of his legacy and Christian faith.
If our pulpits keep trading clarity for popularity, the people will trade faith for confusion.
Bold truth is what built Baptist churches; pretending otherwise is how we lose them.
The church doesn't need more experts.
It needs men willing to stand for truth even when it's unpopular.
Cowardice dressed up as winsomeness won't save the next generation.
When fear shapes our theology, we end up with a church that's silent when it should be a roaring lion.
There's nothing loving about giving ground to error.
You can't fix a hollowed-out faith with better lighting and a coffee bar.
The problems are spiritual, not technological.
Until we recover conviction, the decline continues.
If your church looks just like the world, don't be surprised when people stop showing up.
Why waste Sunday morning for yet another TED Talk with a stained glass backdrop?
The Southern Baptist Convention doesn't need managers, it needs men convicted enough to lead, risk, and rebuild what our fathers built.
Our pews aren't empty because we lack expertise. They're empty because we lack courage.
If the church doesn't shape the culture, the culture will reshape the church.
History proves it, but some still insist we can just play nice and hope for the best.
You know what churches could use? A few men willing to take stands that get them unfollowed.
Truth doesn't depend on clapping from the crowd, it's built on conviction.
