Before you believe the untruth that Christians only care about the unborn, realize that Christians adopt more children than any other population segment-doubling the norm.

It’s tone deaf that many

teaching the Bible @ the invitation of her pastor is a “critical issue” when 80% of our churches r flat or declining, 50% baptized 0, & we’ve not dealt w/sexual abuse issue.

I find the condescension familiar when the
@SBCExecComm
atty writes the EC & talks abt “the onslaught of social media pressure”. In reality, this is seminary presidents, state executive directors, missionaries, 15k messengers, NAAF, SBC pastors & ldrs from all over the SBC.

Very grateful for these dear people around me. They love Jesus, His Word, His people. They worked thousands of volunteer hours this past year, learned from each other, showed respect when differing. Honored to know them & serve w them this past year.

Why I’m Accepting the Nomination for SBC President
After a number of months of prayer, encouragement, and counsel, I am allowing my name to be placed in nomination for the presidency of the Southern Baptist Convention this June. Read the full post below.
Honest question: Why is it that many of the same
#sbc
people who scoffed & said ‘there were “only 700” abusers in the EC data base’, are now apoplectic that 51 SBC churches (out of 44k+) have a woman as senior pastor? I wonder 🤔🤔

Good word. Guidepost is a large, world-class , secular organization. We are grateful for their work but the recommendations being brought are from the SBC SATF.
The SBC Sex Abuse Task Force contracted Guidepost to do the EC investigation because of their reputation as a world-class investigative firm. We did not choose them because of theological or political agreement. We do not agree with their recent tweet affirming Pride Month.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you are a leader of anything, realize you will always have 3 little bears: some that think it’s too much, some that think it’s too little, & some that think it’s just right.

Institutions are good as long as they are sending and missional. When they become power structures, they turn inward & bad, often corrupt.

Twitter tip: Prov 26:4-5 is intriguing: ‘answer not a fool according to his folly, lest u b like him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he b wise n his own eyes.’ Answer or not? On Twitter, if some1 is a bad faith arguer, answer once w clarity, after that is foolishness.
