Southern Baptists will truly live up to our moniker as Great Commission Baptists when the outrage expressed toward the men of our tribe who never “preach” the Gospel (cf. Romans 10:14-17) exceeds the outrage expressed toward the women of our tribe who actually do.

I am SBC by conviction. I love the SBC. I am indebted to the SBC. I am blessed to lead an SBC entity. I am grateful for our SBC heritage. I believe in our SBC future. But I know one thing for sure: God does not need the SBC. God is God. The SBC needs God—not the other way around.

Recent events in SBC life increasingly lead me to wonder if we expended energies/efforts in the Conservative Resurgence to affirm our belief in an inerrant Bible whose ethical teachings we have no intention of actually living out? Inerrancy with integrity is the need of the hour.

If America really was/is a Christian nation—as my Twitter feed indicates some are claiming today—then where are the cries to repent and believe instead of just calls to register and go vote? Don’t reduce the Bible to a political prop and Jesus to a candidate consultant, please.

40 years ago, some SBC seminaries had profs who: —Embraced a Bultmannian NT demythology —Denied Jesus’s physical, bodily resurrection —Rejected the OT miraculous events —Advocated pro-abortion positions That’s real liberalism. None of our SBC seminaries have any such profs today.

One of my prayers for Southern Baptist life is that we will recapture the ability to differ on nonessential/tertiary matters and embrace one another as brothers/sisters rather than engage one another as combatants. Let’s believe the best, not assume the worst, about each other.

Whenever SBC’ers reflect on the Conservative Resurgence, let us be honest enough to acknowledge that those who led may well have been used by God but were nevertheless mere mortals and fallible beings. Whatever is worth preserving must center around ideas/issues, not icons/idols.

I believe SBCers (w/few exceptions) affirm the full inerrancy, authority, and sufficiency of Scripture—even as they disagree w/one another over a particular interpretation(s) of Scripture. “You don’t interpret the Bible like I do” is not the same as “You don’t believe the Bible!”

FWIW, affirming biblical inerrancy ≠ agreeing on every debatable issue of biblical interpretation. As a convictional Baptist, I believe any inerrantists who reject credobaptism as the only correct biblical understanding are dead wrong, but I don’t claim they aren’t inerrantists.

Some English Bibles include the line “Words of Christ in Red.” For those of us committed to a high view of Scripture, the red-letter approach must never be used to create a bifurcation in Scripture itself. If ALL Scripture is the Word of God, then ALL of it is the Word of Christ.

Ten years ago today, the greatest #evangelism professor in our history finished his race, having fought the good fight and having kept the faith. For those of us privileged to have been his @SWBTS students, Dr. Roy J. Fish left an indelible imprint. Thankful for his #SWBTSLegacy .

Just received word that legendary @SWBTS NT professor and #SWBTSChapel namesake John William “Jack” MacGorman passed away this morning at age 100. We’ll post here a full obituary later today, but for now, please keep his family in your prayers.

Pastor, you are a poor substitute for Jesus. Make sure you are always leading your people to rely more upon Christ's ministry than your own.

My daughter (age 5) tonight: “Dad, a boy at school today said he wanted to marry me and go on a date.” Me: “What did you tell him?” Her: “I said we’re too young. Maybe when we’re like 48 or something.” Me: “That’s a great answer . . .”

What separates Southern from Independent Baptists is the @SBCCP , the 1925 fulfillment of an 1845 vision of “a plan for eliciting, combining, and directing the energies of the denomination for the propagation of the gospel.” Perfect plan, no. But better than the alternatives, yes.

If not for the SBC’s Conservative Resurgence, this is the kind of tweet that would have been sent out by @SBTS @SWBTS @SEBTS @NOBTS @MBTS @GatewaySeminary . Thanks be to God the “battle for the Bible” was waged and won, for w/out an inerrant Word, we have no sufficient authority.

I. Scripture While divinely inspired, we deny the Bible is inerrant or infallible. It was written by men over centuries and thus reflects both God's truth and human sin & prejudice. We affirm that biblical scholarship and critical theory help us discern which messages are God's.

Carla and I are grateful for the many expressions of care and concern that have come our way since our transition from service at @SWBTS was first announced. While we initially thought our path would take us to the @IMB_SBC , 1/2

Not every need is your calling. Focus on what God has called you/your organization to do even when there are voices trying to lead you down other paths. Trying to do everything means not giving your best to the main thing. #PointToPonder #Leadership

I am thrilled to announce my appointment of Tom J. Nettles, preeminent historical theologian and co-author of the landmark volume Baptists and the Bible, as visiting professor at @SWBTS . He’ll be teaching on the doctrine of Scripture this winter term.
