Thanking God for your boldness, Nathan. I'm telling everyone I can to come and read this blog. Blessings from Russia... Nathan,

These challenges you’re describing extend far beyond one denomination- many are present in the western church as a whole. Thanking God for your boldness, Nathan. I’m telling everyone I can to come and read this blog. Blessings from Russia…

We have nicknamed our SBC church the "country club." My husband and I serve as teachers, child care workers, committee members and laborers in our church. My husband even works for our churchs school. So, we have seen the "underbelly of the beast" many times. But we also know the change starts with us. It is good to know there is hope. Hopefully, the passing of the GCR is a sign of a Great Tomorrow . Thank you for sharing your heart. You can’t see it, but know that my husband and I are giving you a standing ovation right now.

It seems that seeking to live peaceably with all men (Rom 12:17-18) and speaking words that edify and build up (Eph 4:29) are two elements that need to be in place (and I mean really in place: not empty "we should do this" suggestions that get set aside in conflict).

A big burden I've carried over recent months (and even more acutely in recent weeks) is all the fighting that is going on (or has gone on) in selected agencies of the SBC. See my comments at simpsonfamilyokc.com I just put up some stuff this evening that describes my concern and what my small role is going to be. Roger Simpson Oklahoma City OK Dr. Finn:

I truly sense that this convention will be different, because I believe many are deeply praying for God to do something, to take control, and bend us!

We often act unChristianly toward others precisely because our Gospel is nothing more than a means to a selfish end. I am pained by how often I have, and do, live without a robust picture of the Gospel before me. If we are to see a resurgence of the Great Commission, it will come only when there is a resurgence of the Gospel in our own thinking. Thanks for the the commentary. SM NAF,
