Any group (e.g., network, church, denomination) thinking they have a uniquely special calling to save Christianity has not read the entire story.

Does Jan. 6 not mean anything to you Roger? It should. Because you represent many Kansas voters who didn’t find it humorous at all. Why won’t the GOP present and select a candidate with honor and integrity?
Not the words of a pastor/shepherd. Dr. Fauci literally wrote the book on internal medicine, which has saved my life more than once. He is highly accomplished. Buck is not. Jesus, help your Church.

Here’s what’s easy to see Al.
1. He had sex with someone other than his wife.
2. He paid her $130k to keep quiet.
3. He tried to hide it from voters to protect his campaign.
The jurors listened to the facts and convicted him.
@iliketopreach
Posthumous attacks on Tim Keller are self-serving and cowardly. He never claimed to be perfect or even right all the time. But he was a gifted and called pastor with humility.
Buck is uninformed. No state in the US allows the killing of a baby after a failed abortion procedure once the baby is born alive. The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002 affirms that any infant born alive is a person under federal law and is entitled to legal protections.
@bonhoefferchild
Some are blinded to common sense, especially when focused on self, church growth, and “the show.” Glad you listened to your intuition and followed your discernment. That word “discernment.” We don’t hear much about it these days.
@pastordmack
This year’s agenda will favor Trump over Jesus. SBC leadership is steering the convention into false teaching and apostasy. Sin and evil motives will infiltrate the convention this year. It’s time for churches and women to make Holy Spirit led decisions.

I read your book on Character, James. Your comments surprise me. It wasn’t liberals. It was a selected jury that found him guilty.
1. He had sex with someone other than his wife.
2. He paid her $130k to keep her quiet.
3. He tried to hide it from voters and the election.

Sean, your posts are continually showing an absence of wisdom. It will eventually lead you to separation from Jesus, the one whom you claim to follow. For some reason, every time Jesus says he who is without sin can cast the 1st stone, you throw it.
@BethMooreLPM
We don’t get to write the entire story. But we get the opportunity to be faithful and follow Jesus until we leave this earth. This you have done and continue to do. Thank you for your faithfulness amongst the messiness, Beth.

@timkellernyc
When men like Al Mohler, John MacArthur, Tom Buck and others argue that you can’t be a Christian and vote Democrat, it says a whole lot more about them than it does anyone else. It’s certainly not coming from Jesus. Acute and blind pharisaism does that.
Most evangelicals will still vote Republican, which is their prerogative, I have no problem with that. However they owe an apology to Black evangelicals who have voted Democrat because of justice, equity, fairness, safety net, housing, social security protection, and character
@pastordmack
Not the explosive growth as that of the AOG, but Wesleyan/Holiness groups also are conservative and recognize God’s call on women (e.g., Wesleyan, Nazarene, Ch of God Anderson, Free Methodist, etc.).
@ChristaBrown777
So sorry Christa. Other than success in missions (I.e., Annie Armstrong and Lottie Moon), the SBC has been on the wrong side of history.

MUTUAL SUBMISSION

in marriage. In Ephesians 5:21, Paul writes, “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” This verse sets the context for the following passages, where he describes the roles of husbands and wives.

He did, according to God’s prophet Nathan. He depicted her as an innocent lamb. Otherwise, she would have been complicit. One must read the entire text, not read into the text.

If true, God would never have appointed Deborah as a Judge (over men). One can’t sing about God’s sovereignty but challenge His choices. She was not a back up plan. For those that have ears to listen!
@albertmohler
@WNGdotorg
And therefore we should support a convicted rapist, slanderer, and felon? Seems we’re in a quandary. This I know, people sin, not laws. Pursuing the abortion issue as a single issue voter does nothing to present the gospel and change hearts.
@karamellslp
And so many still don’t get it. While some study the text to learn, others just prooftext void of context to match what they’ve been told.
@thecachinnator
Great thread Scott. I appreciate your story. Bottom line is God doesn’t need the SBC. Only arrogance leads controlling men to believe otherwise.

Shane, the President is trying to support both the people of Israel and innocent Palestinians. Who exactly do you think the former guy will support? Hint: it’s not the innocent Palestinians.

Matt 2:13

Why are unqualified men allowed to return to their ministries? Just because scripture says a person can be restored to fellowship doesn’t mean they should be given a pastoral or leadership role in shepherding others.

@MikeCosper
I’m reminded of Paul’s words:
Phil 1:15-18
It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill...
But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached…

They would have to conclude Jimmy Carter is not saved. And they’d not only be dead silly wrong. They’d be pointing their fingers at a servant of the most high God who outshines them in holiness!

I hope they do disfellowship churches. Then the disfellowshipped congregations can go forward in gospel ministry without fundamentalist power brokers breathing down their necks. Actions like this just speed up the demise of the SBC.
Paul gives honor and recognition to his

coworkers in his letter to the Roman church (ch.16). Do comp’s think it was for serving coffee to the men? No, they were conducting ministry, sharing the gospel, teaching and proclaiming the good news of Jesus!

Thanks for addressing this directly Boz. They no longer reflect Jesus’ Church. Like publicly traded corp’s whose objective is to “maximize share owner wealth”, it’s a legal and financial issue for them, not a moral or biblical one. The irony…
@JeffreyPSchultz
Agreed. Nowhere to be found in scripture. It’s simply not in the text. Yet, he would say the Bible is the final authority and all sufficient.
@pastordmack
It’s a sobering thought Pastor. But we know sin can blind people. And we know what scripture says about prioritizing money and power over holiness and Christian character. I can’t help but believe that many wearing Jesus’ name may not know him, including clergy.
