It's been interesting to see a significant number of SBC'ers evaluate the future implications of the Truth and Unit Amendment based on their particular understanding of its intent, rather than what it actually says. #SBC26

[Philip Meade @Philip_Meade]

Nevertheless, I'm thankful for this amendment and believe it will provide the intended clarity for the CC. My ongoing concern is the continued enumeration of our BFM in the SBC Constitution. 3/3

[Philip Meade @Philip_Meade]

It's amazing how much significance one word can have.

In Dr. Mohler's original motion, the "function" of a pastor was left wide open for the CC to discern because of the words "such as." That was a problem that could have been abused.

[Philip Meade @Philip_Meade]

But now, in his amended motion, the function of a pastor has been restricted to preaching to the assembly due to the word "specifically." That word takes us from one extreme to another. Obviously, pastoral authority includes more than preaching. 2/3

@markspence65667 @ronsterd89 Yes sir.

[Philip Meade @Philip_Meade]

@Brad_Cone @colinsmo I’d also vote yes, but I resonate with your point #1. It’s frustrating that our BFM must be enumerated in the constitution to direct the CC adequately.

Dr. Wellum will be at Graefenburg Baptist Church this Saturday, May 2, at 6:00 pm to speak on the relationship between the Old and New Testaments and the nature of Israel. It will be a great evening of learning and asking questions.

his glory and the good of our congregation.
I say it so often, but there is no church like GBC. We made this transition with unity, excitement, and a focus on the Scriptures. I'm overwhelmed by God's loving-kindness and the amazing saints at GBC. We really are #GBCfamily

Last night was an emotional one for me. After 6 years of study, preparation, teaching, and affirmation, Graefenburg Baptist Church had its first elders meeting with our newly affirmed elders. It was a historic moment, but more importantly, a moment I trust will be used by God...

Neil, the Meade family (5 of us) have been working through your book during worship time. The conversations have been a blessing. Thank you, brother. @NeilShenvi

Earnestly defending metaphysical essentialism or natural law in a mainstream academic context is much, *much* more courageous, and comes at a greater cost, than yelling “fake and gay!” on the internet. The former is seen and treated as a threat; the latter as unserious.

"We should always exercise caution before slapping “Christian” on things that reside outside of a regenerate context."

I love that quote from @andrewtwalker

Well, I guess TeSlaa of the #Lions is my new favorite player. Good grief, incredible.

Oh man...this is funny.
