Our church sent 4 women messengers to #sbc26. All 4 voted for @albertmohler ‘s Truth and Unity Amendment with the conviction that following God’s plan for His Church is what is best for women in our Church. Don’t listen to the noise. Real Baptist women in ministry are celebrating today.

A newly married couple of 22 year olds joined the church as members this morning and we have several young people that we talked to about scheduling baptisms! I’m thankful for what was decided at SBC, but glad to get back to work in the local church!

The @IMB_SBC has a serious vaccine requirement problem, which means the churches of the SBC have a serious problem. I believe the policy is well-intended, but the details and execution are terrible! The IMB has to be able to serve (at least the vast majority of) Southern Baptist churches as their main international sending agency. But a mission board that overrides parental decisions on if, when, and how a missionary vaccinates their own children (especially when it is not an issue of access to their field location and it goes against the advice of their family pediatrician), will be difficult to convince the next generation of sent ones to simply salute and vax their kids according to the "medical experts" to go overseas with the IMB. I love the IMB and want to whole-heartily recommend it to all the "called ones" in our church to help them get on the mission field. But their (parental-rights-overriding) vaccine policy will be a(n unnecessary) barrier for many in our church to do that. Please take the time to read the story detailed below. My own interactions with the IMB on multiple occasions only confirms the accuracy of this policy and its implementation. Let's work and pray for change so that we can send more workers into the harvest!

Man I left the convention ecstatic and very optimistic about the future! If this trend continues it will be very easy for me to lead our church into even greater giving and participation! And btw, our church is primarily growing with young families. It’s our biggest demographic. It’s wild some of the perspectives I’ve seen on SBC after the convention. I think it is not a reflection of how normal every day Southern Baptists feel, that are the main driving force of the convention.

Governor DeSantis understands that politicians work for the people and have to earn their support. Floridians deserve the chance to vet candidates, hear them debate the issues, and make up their own minds about who should lead our state.

Please pray for this church and for our brother HB

Dear Southern Baptist family, we have much work to do. As we return to Baptist headquarters (our local churches) for a busy season of ministry, I want to thank you again for your many expressions of prayer and support. As we look ahead, I assure you that it is my intent to lead out of the 7 Pillars of Renewal that I articulated throughout the spring. We are reworking our Baptist renewal website and will have a revised site up and running very soon. We want to provide a mechanism for Baptist people to express their concerns and questions. It is not possible or advisable to try to interact with every comment or question online, but we do care and want to find ways to interact with good faith concerns. We want to hear your ideas and attempt to answer questions that may come our way. The SBC President represents the people. My job is to serve you. We’re already hard at work, so stay tuned for more information to come.

Florida has given preferences for homestead properties in its constitution for nearly 100 years. Right now, revenue from non-homestead residential properties exceeds that from homestead residences. And the proposal reduces the property tax liability exposure for businesses. This is also a de facto protection for renters.

I like to hear this! Good signs!

"I am writing this because I don’t want supporters of this amendment to become complacent. This is not the time for that. You need to start making plans now to send your full slate of messengers to Indianapolis next summer. As your church starts its budget cycle later this year, set aside whatever you need to set aside to make sure your pastor and whatever messengers you can support are able to attend the meeting in Indy." —@DennyBurk

Grateful for @pastorclint’s leadership. He has served us well. For my friend @JoshuaWPowell, his humility & zeal for the gospel. The SBC is better because of men like him. Congrats to @WillyRice. Praying for you as you lead us forward. What a privilege to be a Southern Baptist.

This week at the SBC, Ozark Mayor and long-time Registration Secretary Don Currence encouraged Southern Baptists to consider serving in public office “I never in my life thought I would be doing public service, but God opened the door. I realize now we need Christians to be serving in public service… "It's not easy, but the thing is, we need Christians to take the lead in our government, in our city, and be involved.”

I’m thankful for the overwhelming support to move ahead so that we can vote on the Truth and Unity Amendment tomorrow morning. Plan to be there by 8am to vote for the amendment. Let’s get this thing done. Please be in the room early—ready to vote—so we can get this done.

Brothers and fellow messengers at #sbc26: your church did not send you here to go to Disney world. They sent you to go to this meeting. Be in the Hall! 3:30 for presidential vote 4:30 for Mohler Amendment

Brothers, be in the hall!

Why not! 😂

This is awesome! Thankful for @StephenRummage and his leadership in our Florida Convention. Excited to hear the reports at SBC!

28 Florida teenagers made a profession of faith in Jesus for SALVATION tonight on night 1 of the Crossover Student Rallies!!! Let’s go! That’s something to celebrate! #sbc26 @NAMB_SBC @NAMBEvangelism

"Every Sunday since January 18th, a group of agitators harass people on their way to worship. They target children and families." - Cities Church pastor @jonathanparnell Thanks to @kayleighmcenany and @FoxNews for having Cities Church attorney @doug_wardlow on the show alongside our client.
