@pastordmack I really appreciate your words as I think through how to vote. What do you do if you feel like neither would govern well and fulfill the responsibilities of president? The only things that helps me sleep at night is that God is sovereign over all.
On the beach reading @BethMooreLPM’s memoir and just finished the ch. about Keith’s finger. While swimming with my kids, a crab clamped down between my toes pierced my skin and drew blood. Really Lord! Right after that ch.! Now my foot has been anointed with iodine and ointment.
Making a public list doxxing and targeting women and churches with whom you have doctrinal disagreements is the opposite of both Baptist polity and godly male headship. It shouldn’t take the women in laity to say so. But here we are.
I got coffee grounds in my coffee! I filtered out the grounds, which took a bit. On my way to reheat my coffee I dropped the mug which shattered. I then stood there, barefoot, for a moment thinking, "This is a problem, I need coffee to deal with this" #CoffeeLover#elixiroflife
Chandler thoughts: 1. don't know the whole story. 2. leave of absence over unwise, frequent, and familiar communication doesn't feel right. 3. he gets a platform, she doesn't. 4. standing O for "confessing sin"? ummm? 5. will not release a redacted report? I have questions.
The question of a doctrine’s status as fundamental, secondary, etc is not determined by your subjective epistemic certainty about said doctrine but by its objective location in the broader system: i.e., by how much hangs on the doctrine. That’s why the doc of God is fundamental.
Yes
"You have chosen to advocate by hurling epithets like liberal, woke, and such...the impression is that you want to “take the ship,” throw us overboard, and “change the direction” to satisfy your agenda. WE ARE ON YOUR TEAM, we wish you would stop treating us like the enemy."
@smithbaptist@SirRobertHowell I so appreciate what you said when you spoke at the SBC. You spoke the truth and you did it with grace. I hope and pray that it encouraged and challenged those who heard it. Thank you brother. We miss you in Maryland.
I asked @bartbarber about becoming president after what @edlitton went through. I didn't expect it, but he got emotional:
"Every way that I have served Southern Baptists have left scars. But this family of churches is worth it. It’s worth enduring slings and arrows." #SBC22
@TomBuck They sang it correct the first time, then the soloist sang it again changing more than one word to "personalize it". He was riffing. You are misrepresenting what happened casing a false outcry. You can not like it, but don't misrepresent.
