I’ll take the trillionaire creating thousands of millionaires over the millionaires creating trillions in debt.

Elon Musk has enough money now to fix every McDonald's ice cream machine, but he won't because he only thinks of himself.

A pet peeve re: the SBC annual meeting is when the question is called before a motion has had the chance to be debated adequately. It’s a shrewd tactic but it’s poor form & doesn’t serve the messengers well. You don’t need to strong-arm a strong motion. #sbc26

Today, the SBC voted again to further restrict women in pastoral roles in churches all across the country. Baptist Women in Ministry laments this decision and the harmful messages it amplifies. Read our full statement: bwim.info/BWIMResponsetoSBC/

There’s alternative history developing around the amendment already, which needs to be clarified. The Amendment directly addresses a narrow aspect of function. But it does not define function, or say there is only one aspect of function the SBC might ever consider.

I have at times cited an example I hope all agree on to highlight this point. In Jude 21 Christians are called to “save” others by snatching them out of the fire of their self-destroying lusts. Then immediately after in Jude 25 He concludes the letter with a benediction calling Jesus the only God “our Savior.” The “office” and “function” of Savior is agreed upon by all evangelicals to belong to Christ alone, such that whatever role a saint plays in helping another Christian avoid ship wrecking their faith belongs in a different category. This isn’t to suggest the pastoral office/function is on par with Christ’s mediatorial office/work, but merely to amplify that even when the same word is used in reference to different groups of people and their activities/responsibilities, we all instinctively avoid concept-creep. How much more careful should we be when we this isn’t the case, as Doug highlights above in his analysis of the usage of shepherd/shepherding in the NT.

For anyone who has ears to hear, this article will help you break out of SBC groupthink.

I am thankful and generally enthusiastic about where we are in the SBC. I am just one man, and I don’t claim to speak for anyone else. But here are 10 reasons I am optimistic: baptistpress.com/resource-li…

Unless someone is playing some sort of online character, there is no chance one can be mad all time on this here app and be a healthy person. Online crazy usually equals offline brokenness/dysfunction. If that’s you, log off, sit down with some dudes, and confess. Heal up.
