@pastordmack@BrentWilson7@JackiCKing It’s ordained, licensed or commissioned. Looked up a few years ago. Does have to perform certain ministerial duties.
@SBCHeifer I continue to believe that there should be a high standard for passing resolutions, like 2/3 or even 75%. If those claim to reflect the convictions of the convention at a given moment, I can’t see how 50% +1 is an accurate picture of that.
My grandma passed this morning unexpectedly. The fact that this is Holy Week brings a whole different perspective than any Holy Week/Easter ever has before. “Weeping may last for the night, but joy comes with the morning.” Psalm 30:5. So true in so many ways.
"In the midst of a divided nation, we [SBC] cannot be divided." Great summary word from session 1 by @dhati#B21Panel2020#SBC2020 https://t.co/FwvBizmsDY
The fifth and final point of emphasis of @jdgreear's SBC Presidential Address: sending.
'We must change what we celebrate and talk about. Instead of talking about 'how many you had on Sunday,' we should talk about how many we are sending.'
Thank you @jdgreear for sharing your heart in your SBC President’s address and also for this reminder from William Carey - “The future is as bright as the promises of God.” I pray we all hold to this for our denomination and world during these tumultuous days.
175 years ago today, the SBC along with @IMB_SBC & @NAMB_SBC were formed with the purpose of taking the gospel into the world. My birthday wish for you my sweet SBC is that you continue on this path of placing the #GospelAboveAll so many more come to know and follow Christ. 🌎💚
A full-on missions mindset is what I have dreamed of us being! Our existence is ALL about the gospel and bringing people to Christ. Cannot wait for this vision to be shared!
@DavidAFrench I called for no legal action to restrict any speech. Not even close. I addressed whether this development indicates a culture losing all moral sanity.
