“There are but few that will examine things, when times and preferment stand thwart; few there were who stood against Nebuchadnezzar’s decree.”

@theadamsbennett We already have an historical algorithm for this.

What we are starting to see develop among SBC churches is the fullest extent of applying either the regulative or normative principle in ecclesiology. There are varieties of expression among Baptists in both categories and both sides claim theirs is the most biblical.

Proud to be an alumnus of @MBTS.

@ChrisPhillipsCO Thanks Chris.

@keahbone My wife, mom, and sister (who you know) don’t need to usurp positions of authority in the church in order to feel valued. And Mohler’s amendment does not pertain to women leading or singing songs at convention meetings.

@Protestia I’m wondering if you were in the room? You’ve misrepresented Jeff. Stop lying and repent.

[Luke Panter @plpanter]

@PastorOnTheFly You’re right.

[Allen Murray @PastorOnTheFly]

We have passed a resolution appreciating bi-vocational pastors. Then we turn around and in our committee on nominations report say that “part-time” vocational pastors count as lay people and not denominational workers. We need to do better. #SBC26

FTC sandwiches are on point. Thanks MBTS. @MBTS

A significant error in SBC conversations is that America has been saturated with the Gospel and that lostness is unique to the rest of the world. Go west.

I appreciate Lifeway, but I have not used them for over 12 years.

@bartbarber They are afraid of being chewed up and spit out. Rightly so. This 20k number screams for reform in our ecclesiology and methodology. It should make us reflect on how we have treated “staff.”

[Luke Panter @plpanter]

@bartbarber A number I’m more convicted about is that of the many former worship leaders that have been tossed aside and are no longer in the ministry or even active in a local church. The massive aversion to be a worship leader has less to do with desire or dedication.

[Luke Panter @plpanter]

Yes and Amen

[Luke Panter @plpanter]

@DennyBurk Not to be trite, but knee-jerk reactions from the woke-affected crowd has had clear consequences. Who knew? We were dominated by fear and confusion for several years. It’s time for it to stop.

@blakecallens @jbvdeberry “Such as deacons?” Again, read 1 Timothy. Deacons are different than elders in that they do not have the teaching mantle. Anyone in a local church can give “exegetical opinions.” But if they do so outside of the clear biblical parameters, then it is a problem.
