This SBC resolution from 1998 comes to mind on a regular basis.
WHEREAS, Tolerance of serious wrong by leaders sears the conscience of the culture, spawns unrestrained immorality and lawlessness in the society, and surely results in God’s judgment (1 Kings 16:30; Isaiah 5:18-25
@edstetzer So true. I remember in the 90s Drmocrat Christians were scolded by Republican Christians for their support of Clinton. But when Trump came along, they suddenly reversed that opinion.
Miami lost to SMU and Louisville last year, then went to the CFP and beat #7 Texas A&M on the road and #6 Ole Miss at a neutral site.
They are actively on a 5-game win streak vs. SEC teams, including three ranked teams and Florida twice.
The “SEC gauntlet” narrative in the big 2026 is laughable 😭
JCPS has a $188 million deficit. I'm glad hubby and I are moving to a nearby county. JCPS clearly has no idea how to manage the amount of tax dollars sent to them every year.
Just how badly run is Kentucky’s largest public school system, Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS)?
The communications director just quit after only four months on the job, apparently because he couldn't stomach the amount of lying he was being required to do.
Barnard Baker in his resignation letter said:
"Throughout my career, I have placed a high value on strategy, accountability and integrity – and my ability to carry out my responsibilities effectively."
He then added:
"Ultimately, I determined that all the ongoing issues at JCPS make it difficult to fulfill those responsibilities in a manner consistent with my own professional standards."
Pretty clearly, Baker wasn't willing to keep lying to the public, making excuses for the district's failures, or sacrificing his own integrity to protect JCPS leadership.
The person hired to manage the district's communications and explain its actions to the public apparently decided that he could no longer do so without compromising his own professional standards.
He's now the FOURTH communications employee to leave JCPS in the last year.
How much more evidence do parents and taxpayers need that something is seriously wrong inside JCPS?
Maybe it's time the district focused less on managing its public image and more on being honest about its failures and fixing them.
@osucowboytc Apparently, we can only be faithful Christians if elections "go our way." And Mark doesn't believe that Christians can affect what happens in the culture. He's telling on himself if he doesn't believe Matthew 16:18.
This is the kind of stuff you write when you don't actually trust Jesus. I believe the Bible when it tells us that no weapon formed against us will prosper, that no one can snatch us from the Father's hand, and that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church.
6-3 Missouri (zero ranked wins, big non-con victory is 3-6 Kansas who’s dead last in the Big 12 standings)
✅ Still ranked! Good quality SEC team, give other SEC teams a ranked win for beating them still, apparently alive for the CFP!
7-2 SMU (zero non-con losses)
7-2 Duke (zero non-con losses)
6-3 Louisville (lost to Ole Miss by 3, while Missouri lost to Ole Miss by 28)
❌ Sorry, but Ohio State choked a 20-point lead in the 4th quarter against Texas in a non-con game in September so that means that the entire SEC is good. Louisville losing to Ole Miss by less than LSU and Missouri did means the ACC dropped the ball and none of those teams can be ranked.
"No political agenda, however good, can be implemented effectively by candidates with tarnished reputations who have ceased to be symbols of hope" - Carl F.H.Henry
@w_bitterman Which is interesting considering many Christians vote for immoral/corrupt politicians because of fear and anxiety of what might happen if the other candidate wins. The Bible is full of "do not fear" passages which apparently applies to every aspect of our life except politics.
The College Football Playoff committee is supposed to be the judge and jury of college football, but right now it looks like the SEC has stacked the jury, written the rules, and already decided the verdict.
9 of 13 committee members with SEC ties? How is the rest of college football supposed to trust that the playing field is level?
Here’s the problem: When SEC teams lose, it’s called a “quality loss.” When teams from other conferences lose, it’s used as a reason to eliminate them. Alabama and Georgia get the benefit of the doubt because of their reputation. SEC teams get rewarded for beating each other, then get excuses made for losing to each other. Meanwhile, teams from the ACC, Big 12, and other conferences are forced to defend their strength of schedule even when they’re winning.
You can’t keep preaching that every game matters while treating SEC losses differently from everyone else’s.
The CFP should be about who earned a playoff spot, not whose conference has the biggest brand, the most television money, or the most connections in the committee room.
When conference loyalty starts looking more important than competitive fairness, the credibility of the entire playoff system deserves to be questioned.
The SEC doesn’t need another advantage. It needs to be held to the same standard as everyone else.
