The SBC is in decline. But decline is not inevitable; it is a choice.

So is renewal. And renewal requires courageous leaders willing to both tell the truth & offer real solutions

That's why SC pastor @rhett_burns is voting for @WillyRice next week.

When it comes to the SBC Annual Meeting, location matters. Here are some of my thoughts and concerns.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

[Tom Ascol @tomascol @tomascol]

“It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country, in defense of us, in wars far away. The imagination plays a trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray haired. But most of them were boys when they died, and they gave up two lives—the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for our country, for us. And all we can do is remember.”

There’s a sentence we didn’t expect to say this year: “See you at the penguin exhibit.” 🐧🎢

Lord, stab me awake to my many faults and needs, then drive me to my knees to find your grace to help with both.

[Eddie Powers @PEPSRBC]

Yep

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

So I guess if we see President Trump out on the White House lawn tomorrow munching on grass, the Christians at least will know what’s up.

[Pastor Jim Cymbala @jimcymbala]

“Why aren’t there more prayer meetings in our churches? I’m convinced that the main reason is that pastors know the folks won’t come due to their lukewarm spiritual condition. . . . But can’t we start somewhere, even if it means just two or three hearty souls?” Fan the Flame

In Student & Collegiate Ministry...
don't dumb it down, disciple them up.

They. can. handle. it!

Jesus didn’t come preaching tolerance; He came preaching repentance.

In the womb: human life

SEE IT: A crowd in southern Iran was seen toppling a statue of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

“God is our refuge and strength.” Psalm 46:1

Here are 3 ways you and your church can pray for the Middle East. 🙏

• That hearts turn to salvation in Jesus.
• That our friends and partners are protected and strengthened in faith.
• That leaders walk in wisdom.

[Paul Chappell @PaulChappell]

Christ's last command must be our first priority. Share the gospel with someone today.
