[...] Danny Aiken’s contribution to what took place at the 2009 SBC cannot be overstated. If you follow the timeline you will see that it was Dr. Aiken that gave voice and direction to the grassroots movement calling [...]

I wonder now that the GCR has officially passed if the MBC, Toliver, and the MBC Executive Board will extend an appology to Acts 29 for defunding them…As a Missouri Baptist I continue to be ashamed simply being associated with these people who would rather hinder church planting than set aside their Baptist cultural preferences.

[...] 1. There’s a movement afoot in the SBC, if you haven’t heard. It’s called the “Great Commission Resurgence”, and it’s centered around restructuring the Convention to funnel more money to the work of missions and specifically the International Mission Board. See a very helpful Tim Brister recap post for more. [...]

Timmy,

I have nothing to add to this particular discussion. I just wanted to encourage you to keep spending time in Solomon’s porch. Your efforts are, I believe, being well used for the kingdom,

Much love my brother,

Meanwhile…the world around us is hurting and trying to find hope. We’re so busy fighting about conspiracies, who is right, who said what…who is Baptist enough…while people all over the world don’t even know who Christ is. Shame on us.

I’m embarrassed by what I read on so many of our blogs….backstabbing, blaming, self-righteousness, arrogance…nowhere do I hear a concern for the lost and a brokenness for those around them.

We just cut people from the mission field…where is the outrage over this? We’re arguing and blogging about a document that says “we care about the great commission” meanwhile no one is saying a thing about the IMB cuts….at this point I don’t think voting on the GCR is required….we don’t really care about it. This is a sad day for the SBC.

Theological precision and open dialogue is welcome and healthy for the church, including SBC life. Hopefully, we can move beyond emotional tags and simply focus on truth as it lays before us and not on just perception…perception may become reality in people’s minds but it is still far from the Truth. Jesus takes great passion in Truth, Mission and Relationships. May we do the same.

Hit “Go” on the ol’ iPhone by accident too quickly on my reply. I want to add that everyone involved needs to be careful in alleging agendas and hidden motivations. It isn’t charitable and it just angers the various camps when they are charged with such.
