“What Should be the Priority Mission of the Southern Baptist Convention”
Bill Bunkley with Something to Think About
Southern Baptists are meeting in Nashville.
A significant debate has arisen about the role, mission, and transparency of the SBC.
Unfortunately, topics of sexual abuse prevention and reporting, Critical Race Theory, political candidates, public engagement of Biblical worldview issues in the government square, and others are the headliners this week, not winning souls.
Now these are essential issues the Messengers must confront from a Biblical worldview, but not as their top priority.
Convention members must reprioritize their focus and discussions back to the historical mandate: leading the way in sending out home and foreign missionaries, facilitating start-up churches, and equipping for one on one discipleship.
And that’s what the Convention “buzz” should be about this week.
