Church staffing/elder interview question, answer to which (or even ability to answer) is revealing: when was the last time you told someone you were sorry and for what?
Might we be lacking an appropriate fear of, wonder at, trembling before, the Lord Jesus, the real Jesus who will one day silence the raging of the nations with a moment’s whisper? Jesus rules.” -Dane Ortlund 2/2

Some leadership principles I try to uphold: Don’t be married to your ideas. The best idea wins, regardless of who it comes from. Whenever possible, champion others and their contributions to your team/project. When the dust settles, be ready to accept blame and defer credit.
A long thread coming on #SBC22, Saddleback, and on a vocal minority group in the SBC, despite what seems to be overwhelming unity, and if you are possibly in the middle on some of these things and not all, we do not claim to be for you, but here are some thoughts: (1)
@edutinker @RevRobArmstrong Whether or not Saddleback means “deacon” when they use “pastor” doesn’t seem to be the issue at hand, but instead whether or not the BF&M means anything other than Lead Pastor when referring to pastors in Article 6.
@edutinker @RevRobArmstrong The Scriptural clarity to which Rob is referring is regarding the office of pastor, elder, bishop, and overseer, all titles used interchangeably in the New Testament. Those words are never used interchangeably with deacon.
