People sharing photos of Beth Moore taken during worship (without consent) and sharing her church’s identity (which she had withheld) in order to criticize her (unjustly) are guilty of meanness and bullying.

I find it funny that several SBC folks were saying they’d never heard of @BruceFrank1 until today. He’d be glad to hear it. Why is he unknown? Because for the last 33 years he’s been working his field…instead of building his brand.

My husband is my leader and I respect him. Not because he’s male, 100 pounds heavier, or almost a foot taller. It’s because he lays down his life, values my voice, grants me honor as co-heir. I flourish securely in the nook created by his gentle powerful presence. We are one.

If your views on complimentarianism cause you to choose an institution over the cries of the abused, you might be misunderstanding the sacrificial, honoring and protective nature of Christlike headship.

From a purely financial aspect, SBC is put in a position of having to fund 20 years of deferred maintenance toward SÁ care/prevention all at once. This is money that is owed and not ours to keep. The need to catch up is due to leaders who secretly passed the buck, not the SATF.

Complementarían marriage is not “men lead, women submit”. It’s Husbands and wives mutually submit to God, the husband through sacrificial love, the wife through respect. Oneness creates lifelong intimacy for the glory of God and a flourishing marriage.
