The devil is loose and doing his job well, as evidenced by
the continuing controversy in the Southern Baptist Convention. He is devious
in that he is dividing us on issues in which both sides are right and both sides
are wrong.
The devil is loose and doing his job well, as evidenced by
the continuing controversy in the Southern Baptist Convention. He is devious
in that he is dividing us on issues in which both sides are right and both sides
are wrong.
An example is in the June 21 Baptist Press release “defining
moment.” In this article incomplete statements and statements taken out
of context give different “spins” to the same statements. I should
hope that both sides realize that the words recorded in the Bible, as spoken
by God, is the Word of God and that His son Jesus Christ is the Revealed Word
of God. The two cannot be separated, the Bible tells of Gods Word and
Jesus reveals it.
Why cant we, as concerned Christians in our preciously
great SBC, demand that the Convention decease in its “power play”
of one side against another. Let us not align ourselves with strong fundamentalists
or with strong moderates, but rather be united again on the side of Christ.
Let us stop wasting the resources and efforts of the SBC in squabbles and get
on with our “Fathers business” of soul winning and ministry.
Let us stop the devil in his tracks.
