251 years ago, Patrick Henry stirred the hearts of Virginians to make a stand against tyranny with the words “Give me liberty or give me death.”
Today, Virginians can carry that spirit of liberty against tyranny with just one word: “NO.”
Join me in voting NO on the far-left’s unconstitutional gerrymander and get 10 friends to do the same between now and April 21st. We all need to fight in one direction against this blatantly political power grab that overturns the will of the people.
Billy Graham held a crusade in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1973. There he proclaimed, "Christ belongs to all people; He belongs to the whole world.” I love that. But there is a second, parallel truth to it. Not only does He belong to the whole world, but His Great Commission also belongs to the whole world. That means that it is not solely the privilege and duty of, for example, North American or European believers to carry the gospel across cultural divides. That privilege and duty is for African believers as well. And Asians. And Latin Americans. And the young and the old! In short, all the church has the responsibility to take all the gospel to all the world! We are together in this endeavor. As Daren Davis said, "The Great Commission is too big to do alone and too important not to do together (cf. Missio Nexus). Nell and I have been reminded afresh of this truth over the last couple of weeks. We gathered with African leaders in Johannesburg as they plan to send their own missionaries to the nations. Then I had the joy of being with our Korean brothers and sisters in Chicago as they too committed to taking the gospel to the world. What a joy all believers have to play a part, however modest, in His kingdom's work! Let's go! @IMB_SBC

This Sunday Nell and I will be back with our church family at @istrouma Baptist Church in Baton Rouge, LA! We can't wait! If you're in the area, come worship with us. The message will be on "The Thrill of Victory" from 1 Cor. 15:57-58. We'll learn how the victory that Christ won should impact our lives in practical ways.
128 adults plus their children completed their 7 weeks of training & were commissioned today. Soon headed to the nations to share the good news. Thanks be to God. Let’s ‘Hold the Ropes’ SBC family.
